Quote #4
These are some of the things I remember about you, your family, and Rob. I will always treasure those days, and I will never forgive myself for destroying something very special. I hope that someday you will be able to forgive me, but if not, I hope you will be able to remember without so much pain. (22.13)
Andy's letter to Rob's parents doesn't pretend to smooth things over. Instead, he focuses on the friendship that he shared with Robbie and all the good times. It's helpful for him to voice this to Robbie's parents so they know the tough time he's going through, too.
Quote #5
"Thank you, boys. Andrew should be proud to have such good friends." (24.35)
When B.J. and Tyrone want to get help for Andy, their counselor tells them they're good friends, but does nothing. It's clear that even the best of friends can't take away someone's pain without the right support themselves.
Quote #6
Without friends, life would be boring, lonely, and meaningless. Nobody comes to high school for the teachers—not really. We come to see our friends. (26.1)
Keisha's essay explains just how important friends are. Sure, we all like to have friends, but she relies on hers for laughs and supportive, plus high school wouldn't be the same without them.
