A blur of tears and explanations

"I find a teacher I trust, my health teacher,and tell her what is going on. I don't tell her my friend's name yet because I am scared about what will happen next. The morning is a blur of tears and explanations as I am brought to the guidance counselor to figure out the next step."


From Chicken Soup for the Soul by Jack Canfield


The Contest: the writer's friend is hurting herself. But the writer promises her friend that she won't tell her friend's secret to anyone. Because her friend cannot stop hurting herself, the writer decides to seek outside help.

I want to figure out why the writer cannot remember the morning clearly.
