I’ve known her for about- my whole life, since we were both little kids. She was always shy, and so was I, but she seemed more afraid of the world then I had.
And now that we are both 16, you still can’t seem to get over the fear of "growing up". I remember the last time we hung out together, we went to see a movie and you couldn't even ask the person behind the counter for a ticket, I had to do it for you. You seem so small and weary of what’s around you. Will you ever learn to accept your fears?
Its hard for me as your friend to watch you struggle so much. I try to help the best I can but I think that sometimes you take advantage of my advice. And it’s not just me, your parents have tried to help you and your anxiety but all they end up doing is making you hide even more into your shell. They seem to think that by giving you what you want/need will help you but honestly you need to be more dependent on yourself rather then the people around you.
"Its fine, I can do it by myself." that's what you say but you never do it. You wait until your anxiety is to the maximum and you walk back to me empty handed and i have to do it for you.
When will you learn to be more independent? Will you ever be able to take a step forward?
If this was a movie, it could have been funny. But this is serious. Open up your eyes and realize that you need to do something. How will you accomplish anything in life if you don't take chances and face your fears? And I would know because we were so similar, both lost souls looking for someone to guide us into adult hood, but after that your on your own, you were supposed to let that person go and continue life on your own. so please let go of them and move on, so you wont miss the real chance to be happy with your life...

this is really good m. really powerful, you can feel your anger and everything. i love youu <3
Similar to the Magwire piece in your direct address to the subject of the narrative, and your tone of disappointment. Be careful, however, you began addressing the subject using third-person pronouns ("her").
Nice job using a "scene"-the movie incident. This is what narratives are built upon-scenes.
The dialogue was well placed-it provided a brief but refreshing shift in the structure.
