Dear Brilliant Girl,

Growing up is sometimes very hard, and sometimes we don’t know who our friends are.  Sometimes people say that they are our friends, but then they do things that hurt over and over again.  Friendship should not hurt.

There is a big difference between being nice and being kind.  When someone is nice to your face, or nice only sometimes…but not nice other times, or not nice behind your back, this person is not a true friend.

Please, beautiful girl…please choose to spend your time with friends who are kind to you.  Being kind means you care about someone and you would never want to hurt them for any reason, at any time.

You are such a very kind girl, and you deserve to spend time with kind friends.

Now go out and have a fun and wonderful day.  That is the kind of day that is meant for you!

You are so very loved.

xoxo
