The Bond of Friendship

These kids never cease to amaze me. They are such good friends to each other, and they really keep each other in line. Whenever one of them is being/acting stupid or doing something that could potentially have negative life-altering consequences, they don't even hesitate for a second to call each other out.

They keep tabs on each other, encourage one another, depend on each other, and are real with each other.
They're learning what they can handle in regards to each other and what they can't handle, and are bringing the bigger issues to me, and asking for advice or for me to just step in.

They aren't afraid of having a friend mad at them. If helping someone and calling them out in front of others (or bringing me into the situation) ends up making them mad for a few days, they don't care...they just want to see the others in the group safe and happy.

They definitely get mad at each other, and have their bad moments, but they give each other space when it's needed and always work it out...and they don't even worry that it won't eventually work out. They don't even make that an option.

It's really an amazing thing to watch.
