Can't sleep

Why is it when a loved one will go through something we cant imagine being strong enough to go through, and we will always say we are there for them but in the end...you stick up for the ones you hardly know? I mean everyone knows your friends story yet...when a person with a similar story comes up but we hardly know them we sympathize, and over exaggerate what happened to our friend, we don't think about whats best for them, or how they feel. Hell we didn't even go and really help them they way we were helping a stranger so we could look....What cooler? Nicer? Like we had some past? Well, to your friend, you look like a fake. You look like everyone else, it's not about you. We forget about other peoples feelings...yet we say how much we love them, has high school really come to this? There are things so much bigger than us and we care about how much sympathy we can get, well honey...sorry it doesn't get you far. College I hope is my fresh start...for everything...i know I'm getting personal but hey...its been a long day for me. Good night:)
