They have been on their own learning, teaching and doing their own rituals and then suddenly they are with others and they might have to go sky clad or with robes on, using different tools down to saying different words. As a result most of these people have shied away from covens, and have only dealt with Witches on a community basis. I feel that this is a great shame, because being with friends and fellow Witches is wonderful and you learn and teach so much more. I read this and totally agreed.

Many teenagers commit suicide and leave notes to their friends and family.
They often say that their best friend doesn't understand them and that they've grown tired of the all bad stuff that is happening in the world. They feel that they can't turn to their friends at all, and they're stuck in an endless hole. After wards the friends feel they should take all the blame. Just because your friends dead doesn't mean you should think of dying too. Your friends don't always have to be of the 2-legged variety.
