What’s on Your Mind?

I want to make friends, but I don’t know how. What can I do? —Lonely in Limerick

Dear Lonely,

Lots of other kids are looking for a friend too. So why not be the first to smile and say hello? It won’t always work out, and that’s OK. Keep trying, praying, and helping others.

We love being your friend!
