I never asked her if she was doing well, because I knew she would not be well.

When I was in high school, I had a very good Les friend. At that time, I was not very liberal. She was partial to me. We were very complementary and our personalities were compatible. Her thinking was very avant-garde and very interesting. I also like chatting with her very much. So we always study and eat together and even go home. We live on campus in high school, our two dormitories are very close, we often sneak into a bed on Friday nights and chat and chat, until one day we talk about love.

High school girls have always longed for love. After I told the story of what happened to the boy I had a crush on, she said that the girl she had crushed on was a girl. Although I started to be a rotten girl in junior high school, so I did not exclude the homosexual group, but my first reaction was still shock, and then we were silent for a long time.

"Don't be afraid, I'm not a pervert."

She broke the silence with these words and shattered my shock. After listening to it, I felt very uncomfortable. I panicked and denied it, and then expressed my support, but she didn't appear very happy, she just told me that Suddenly one day she found that she didn't like boys, but girls instead. She also struggled and rejected, thinking that she was sick, but after reading books and surfing the Internet, she realized that it was not a disease and decided to accept herself. We chatted about something else quickly and fell asleep quickly. Now think about it, if I could express my support in the first place instead of being silent, we should still be very good friends now.

A lot of things happened later. She basically half-disclosed her sexuality in the grade. As the only key high school in our city, our minds are actually very open. I have witnessed a lot of viciousness of human nature, and also witnessed a lot of sincere feelings. One by one, our grades began to have a lot of semi-open men and women, and they became a small group. Because of the good relationship with her, many people think that we are a couple, and I also borrowed the light to block the peach blossoms. Thanks to her, I added a lot of their QQ. In fact, I observed their lives with curiosity and awe. Watching them and their lover swear their love in the QQ space po photo, I feel very envious. But it is at this age that love is reckless, so unscrupulous.

After the college entrance examination, we got together a few times. At that time, everyone was simple-minded, and some of them had already decided to show their cards to their families. She was also at the forefront of coming out, and then she disappeared.

Not only the social network, but also the person, QQ and phone calls were not answered. We only contacted her when she had a school banquet a month later. That day I saw her crying in front of me for the first time. She was locked up by her mother and felt that she was being Others lead her badly, until she promises to go to a university she doesn't like, study a major she doesn't like, and she must marry a man and have a child to inherit the lineage, and then she gets the right to freedom. I just stayed with her in silence, and didn't say a word until the end, after all, it was my parents.

She said angrily, "What do you know?" and turned away. At the student banquet, our table was basically a small group of people, as well as her other close friends. We were out of tune with the lively banquet, and everyone was very sad. Before I left, I glanced at her mother. She had a kind smile on her face, and she had no idea what kind of vicious words she would use to hurt an innocent girl.

Inheriting the lineage, how much love and life have been ruined by these understated words. Every time I think of her eyes and her final turn that day, I do not regret for a moment, regret for silence, regret for persuasion. What they need is never comfort, but support.

Later, she seldom contacted me again, and suddenly one day she made a statement saying "farewell to the past." Then I knew, I completely lost that magnanimous, confident and courageous girl, and she began to grow up and become a qualified breeding machine , toward the arranged bland life, and I will use the rest of my life to miss the pictures of their freedom and beauty.

Support, never the majority of parents, nor the majority of zg.
