To Write Love On Her Arms Pt 2

I know that I have never received aid from To Write Love on Her Arms nor have any of my friends, but in a way it is affecting my life retrospectively.
Freshman year, a friend and I got into a really rough patch because of another individual. They were abusive and depressed and suicidal and that in turn took a hit on my self esteem and the self esteem of my best friend, who was also involved in this situation. Things went downhill fast. There was always some sort of drama going on as the individual either threatened or attempted suicide or cut or abused drugs. And eventually, my friend, who didn't have a very stable family life, turned to these means too as a way of coping with her pain.
I was young and I had no idea how to handle this and so it spiraled out of control as I tried to help, which only ended up making it worse most of the time. Eventually, things only stopped when the individual moved away and in a huge argument, cut off all contact with my friend and I.
I eventually got over the immediate emotional pain, but I've always wished that I could have done something to help and that's where To Write Love On Her Arms comes in. I found them through Air1 and am now working as part of their street team so that I can do something, if not for my friends then for others.
