Everyone needs someone to lean on whether it be a spouse or a good friend. I lean in a very good friend thst I've had since before high school. She kept the bullies off of me, and got suspended a few times for how she dealt with them, and I helped her pass her classes. More recently, she leaned on me when the doctors thought she had cancer and I leaned on her when I met my biological parents for the first time. Btw, I was adopted. Everyone needs someone they can lean on and trust, but, unfortunately, not everyone finds that person. :)
