FRIENDSHIP AND LOVE

Friends
We are the only children; we are lonely. There is a generation gap between us and our parents. There is tension between us and our teachers. And there is competition between us and our classmates. So when we face difficulties, we must face them alone.
Our parents don't understand us. Our teachers don't care about us. Our classmates don't understand us. We have been isolated. From the beginning we have learned to face thing alone. When we get a bad grade on a test, no matter how good the reason, our teachers and parents will not let us off the hook. So we simply don't bother coming up with a reason. After getting yelled at, we can only comfort ourselves alone. When teachers treat us unfairly, no matter how we cry out for justice, no one will give us the time of day. Therefore we have always taken our teachers' verbal abuse, regardless of whether it's right or wrong, and have never argued back. When it's over, we deal with our emotions alone.
We spend the vast majority of our time studying, and in studying our teachers and our parents are already the closest comrades-in-arms. Our parents always trust our teachers' one or two words, but will never trust their own children's explanations of the facts. The feeling of being squashed between both sides is truly awful. Little by little, we are leaning only to trust ourselves; we are leaning that others, including our teachers and parents, cannot be relied on. Indeed, we become increasingly isolated. Then one day, when we simply can't endure it any more, we will discover that we have friends, friends we can rely on.
We need friends. When we were small we could just "float along"; there were never any major problems. When we got older, however, our sources of grief began to multiply because we have to prepare for our futures. We need to take the university entrance exams, and we must pass. The consequences of failing the university entrance exams are unthinkable. And these entrance exams are cruel and unusual punishment; the majority of students fail. Under this heavy pressure, we truly are incapable of bearing this burden alone. With friends, we can emerge with strength from each failure, we can stand up after each attack, and we can overcome anything.
We usually all have a very close friend, especially one from high school that we will probably continue to spend our lives with in the future. Besides ourselves, we can only trust friends .One could say that our friends are the pillars of our hearts; when we can't help ourselves, we knew there is another pair of hands to help us along.
Friends are an important part of all our human relationship. We need friends. For friends we would not hesitate to sacrifice anything.
