PeaceBuilders Opinion 1

We all need to be heard.

Sometimes, even strong families go through tough times because of struggles or problems. It can be hard for men to find the support they need to keep going, especially when they have old feelings from childhood that still affect them.

This is when good friends become really important. Friends help friends—and when things get hard, you find out who your true friends are. Sometimes, we might need to let go of old friends who aren’t good for us and find new ones who support us.

It’s not always easy, and it takes time, but friends give us comfort, advice, and encouragement, helping us get through tough times. With their support, we can feel safer and more confident, which helps our mental well-being.
