The on-screen hero of "The Hunger Games" dealt with an actual emergency on Monday like a real-life hero. According to The Daily News, actress Jennifer Lawrence noticed a young girl who had collapsed in front of her Santa Monica apartment, and stayed with the girl until help got there. Several images were taken at the scene, showing Lawrence in a kneeling position by the girl's side.

Police would not reveal much about the incident, but explained, "[Lawrence] was walking her dog when she saw the juvenile. She stood by as a Good Samaritan until officers arrived and spoke with them. It was a couple of juveniles involved in the incident. It could have been alcohol related. She’s okay." Have you ever come to the aid of a stranger? If so, tell us your story!

    I was doing X-rays on a lady when I worked in hospitals. And she was pretty beat up. She began to talk to me about it. The husband was abusive. She had tried to leave. But since he was a state patrol he always found her using his cop network. I had a friend who was a counselor and I called him. He got her to safety in another state.

    I was walking home late one night and I saw a young African American with a crow bar trying to open a drug store on main street. I asked him what he was doing. He said: "I own this store, and I forgot my keys."

    I immediately helped him open the door and bid him farewell...He smiled and waved goodbye... i must tell you... I walked away with a smile on my face and a bounce in my step feeling very good about the helpful deed I had done.

    I'm an African American man. And you clearly don't have much sense. We don't use crow bars to help us get into our own establishments. We prefer bricks and crowbars. I think the police want to question you as an accessory to burglary.

    just the other day, I was riding my bike with my friend, and we were on a bike trail. as you are on the bike trail, you pass a retirement home. a few minutes went by, and I saw an old man struggling to carry his groceries. I told m friend we should stop and help, and she said no, he is ok. at one point, I saw him drop one of his bags. I told my friend to look, and she told me again not to help. but I did anyway. I got off my bike and I walked with him over to him. I picked up the bag, and walked with him over to where i could. I did not go in his house or anything, but I helped him as far I thought I needed to. my friend may have not wanted to help this stranger out, but you could tell he was struggling. I know I did not save a life or anything, but I did what I needed to.

    She didnt even do anything lol, she sat mext to the person till helped arrived. Thats not helping or being a hero. Ive helped people but now i dont any more, u can get killed helping someone, i dont give out money anymore as well. These times are to dangerous to lend a hand because u might end up losing it.

    Out of sheer kindness.



    Most people DO help when they can.

    Ex hubby and I were driving up Punchbowl, headed for Round Top and there were 2 young Japanese girls on a rental car with a flat tire. WE stopped and tried to change the tire, but there was no spare, so we took them to the rental car agency at the airport and made sure the rental car agency knew where the car was left-so they could retrieve it. We got a lovely thank you card from them when they got back to Japan.

    We have helped a lot of folks along the way, and so have my current hubby and I . It is all about helping others.

    I have, I try to help anyone that ever asks me for it. That said I'd rather share the story of a time I was passed out. I'd just given blood, and was in a rush to get home. So instead of staying behind to chill for a while, I left straight away and walked the mile and half home with hast. On the hill back home however I began to feel ill. I collapsed on the floor. None of my friends or family were answering their phone. I was lying in the ground, in the rain for an age. I got my strength back, I was nearly home. I carried on walking and my body just shut down. My legs gave way and my head smashed in to the street light, and then into a wall. I was bleeding, I was soaked through, and I was unconscious. I came too a while later (I have no idea how long). Just as I did I noticed a car pulling up. A middle aged woman got out of the car beside me, looked in my eyes and then turned away and walked in to her house. Another car came by, parked up... same again. What i'm getting at is./.. it's nice to see that some people are nice enough to help other. I still don't understand why those people left me bleeding on the pavement, but whatever.

    Neither do I..........I simply cannot imagine not trying to help you. It's incomprehensible. Very sad, and utterly incomprehensible.....

    Next time that happens, call me. I'll be right there.. Somebody called me asking for help a few days ago. I said "That's a 45-minute drive from here. I'll be there in 20 minutes."

    Please consider the possibility that you're inobservant and/or self-absorbed. Look around and look for opportunities to help. Never turn down an opportunity for kindness.

    <- is a 17 years old girl who lives in a quiet little town, tell me how ? :D
  • revbh Lina Blub 2012/06/30 04:45:59

    Age and geography don't diminish opportunities for kindness........

    Look around. People who could use your kindness and help are everywhere.

    Hold the door open for the person behind you. If you see trash on the streets of your quiet little town, pick it up and dispose of it properly, and don't expect a medal. Offer to use your 17-year-old arms to help an elderly or over-busy neighbor with their yardwork, just becaise it's the right thing to do.

    Like I say, never turn down an opportunity for kindness. If you need to think of it in terms of personal gain, live your life so that people will miss you when you're gone. Leave the world a tiny bit better than it was when you got here.

    How to you want to be described? "She's the one who sees every new movie," or "She has great shoes," or "She's kind, thoughtful, and generous with her time"?

    You can choose.......do what's right for you. I just hope you choose to be a force of good, rather than no force at all.......Don't waste your talents or underestimate your abilities to make a positive difference.

    I have helped strangers. Not in life-risk situations. However, I every time there is some sort of accident, I get closer to see what I can be useful for.

    PS: I am happy for Lawrence's attitude, and salute. :)

    A lady locked herself of her car on a very hot day with her 2 very young kids (a baby and maybe 18 months?) still inside the car, strapped into their car seats.

    The car was in a somewhat shady spot, so the sun wasn't beating down on it, thankfully.

    I got there just as she was running around her car trying to get back in.

    She called 911 as I walked up to see what was up.

    After she got off the phone, she told me what happened, so my daughter and I waited with her.

    The cop who showed up to pop the lock couldn't get the jimmy thing to work and they didn't want to break the glass because of the kids.

    They called for someone else to bring some other tool, but were told it might be awhile.

    After a bit more time, the kids started to get freaked out and really started balling.

    Getting stressed and impatient, I pried the top corner of her driver's door away from the car so the cop could get in the crack with a hook-like thing and catch the door latch on the inside. It worked.

    Unfortunately, the door was pretty much tweaked and wouldn't reseat against the car after, but we got the kids out.

    Took about 30 minutes if I remember right(??)

    The kids were a bit overheated and flushed; but otherwise okay.

    Most recent: On Memorial Day we witnessed an auto-accident on the interstate about 150 miles from home, in which a duel-cab pick-up lost control and rolled several times. We stopped with a number of others. After the woman passenger was removed from the truck, I sat and held her hand and kept her talking while we waited for the police and rescue vehicles. My husband sat with the husband. We didn't leave them until help arrived. Both are doing fine and actually tracked us down to thank us for 'staying with them.'
