A short story on how all it takes is one friend, or person, to say something. That seeking help isn’t impossible and you’re not alone in your struggles.
Phoebe’s boyfriend tells her that he can’t help her with her struggles alone, and Phoebe knows this. She doesn’t show up for days at a time after Monday until Friday when one of her friends says something. Her friend knows that she’s struggling with substance abuse and asks if she wants to see a trusted adult, her school counselor.
