What could you do with a friend like Rayanne?

It's clear she has a good heart...but she's completely out of control and reckless. No matter how charming and fun she seems...it's like you have to be careful because when she self-destructs...she's hitting everyone within a 50 mile radius.

Being a friend to someone like that takes a LOT of work...and then once you're in you feel stuck because if something bad happens you feel guilty. No teenager should have to deal with the stress that Angela and Ricky had to deal with.

I mostly felt bad for Ricky...she put him through so much yet barely lifted a finger when he was beat up, kicked out, and then abandoned. That whole Rusty excuse was BS...

What would you do?

I've been there,
eventually this kind of behaviour is just too much of a burden for a mutual friendship to contend with.

sooner or later you realise that it's better to not have such discord in your life.
if the friendship is anything like rayanne and Angela's, that is.
