Becker: "I just can't do this anymore, I'm so overwhelmed." Friend: "What's wrong, Becker? You seem really upset." Becker: "My grades are slipping, my parents are constantly fighting, and I just can't keep up with everything. I feel like I'm drowning in all this pressure." Friend: "I'm so sorry, Becker. It sounds like you're going through a lot. Have you talked to anyone about how you're feeling?" Becker: "I've tried, but no one really seems to understand. I just feel so alone in all of this." Friend: "You're not alone, Becker. I'm here for you, and I'll do whatever I can to help you through this. Just take a deep breath and know that you're not alone."
