There is someone that I know and admire who is having trouble conceiving and wants a baby really badly. How can I let her know that I really admire her bravery and thatI look up to her in her difficulties without being overbearing or overdramatic? I'm a teen, she's not family or a friend of the family, and she's only about 10 years older than I am. She seems to want to talk about it, it's not like she clams up, but I'm afraid of crossing the line in terms of the relationship. I just want to tell her that although I'm younger, I'm there for her.

Ummm, not so much a friend as an authority figure(think school) but like I said, she'd not that much older than I am, and we don't have the typical kid/school authority relationship

May I also point out here that I am FEMALE and in no way hitting on this girl or looking to explore our "relationship", I'm just trying to figure out how to say that I'm there for her without sounding like a teenaged idiot. Thank you!!!

If you are uncomfortable speaking with her, write her a letter. You said it pretty well in your question, I would probably cry (in a good way) if someone said that to me.

Give her a thinking of you card and write a note inside of it. That way you can mail it or leave it somewhere that she will find it. She can read it in private and you don't have to be embarrassed either.
I'm sure she really appreciates your friendship and maybe even needs a shoulder to cry on each month that she's not pregnant. I know I did when my husband and I were trying and it took us 1 1/2 years to conceive.

You just said it .It would be proper to say to her what u just said to us.The last two sentences. Plus it's not your boundries I'm worried about.It's hers. Remember this that if u like her more then a friend,.She is alot more experienced then u and she should only be friends with u.

Just be yourself and do what you think is best and right, and is beneficial for both sides. If you love her, suit her needs, if not, then be her comforter, or just confront her and tell her how you feel.

I think what you said in this question is the same thing you should say to her.

as long as you will tell her..."I will keep whatever you tell me private...and then just do that",,,keep it confidential.....she is your friend from what i gather......otherwise if she doesn't feel like talking then step away!!! it is her choice...
