text: To simplify a topic about advice is much harder than one would think. Advice can vary drastically depending on the situation at hand, advice is not only a touchy and very broad topic. It's one of the only things that can either make or destroy someones day just depending on how you say it and what you say. When my parents got divorced I was just around 7 and in the third grade. Their divorce was nothing special or nothing I didn't see coming, it was always there and it just wasn't a healthy relationship. Hearing the words finally being said to me was the hard part, swallowing the fact that the people I grew up with are finally gonna be separated forever was terrible news even though i was preparing for it to happen. The first thing I did upon hearing the news was run upstairs and cry until I couldn't cry anymore. But after a really rough night the first thing I did was ask my best friend at the time for advice. We were 7 years old tho, so the "advice" I remember was something along the lines of "It will get better, but let's go play four square." but hey we were seven. Up until about 6th or 7th grade i never really had problems that were that big, I loved my life, still do. But, I am in middle school, so drama and giving advice were always there and I was always around the problems just never involved in them. Everything was going good, up until the middle of 7th grade it was all smooth sailing. Then, the end of 7th grade happened, and that was a different story, entirely.
