2) Have you confided in your friends or family members about the problems you face in school/ life? Why or why not?



Have you been betrayed by your friends before? If yes, how? (You may change the names of the people involved for privacy)


No. If yes, I will be very sad and get more frustration in my mind because one of my friends is my best friends that i met. If my best friends betray me, I would even lost all the precious trust on the betrayer (so-called my best friends). I cannot tolerate all kind of nonsense such as betraying people. Betraying people not only can affect one's mood, it also can make the people around you to be hurt by emotional matters.
