Answer 1

she might not be ready to deal with it yet. let her know that when she is ready to talk about it, you'll be there.

Answer 2

I hope this helps well if ur friends mother is acting like this well its not right tell her that she has to be more opened more worried that then ever. I personally think maybe she is sick or maybe there is something wrong thats important inside of her but i also think that she just doesn't want to tell u that she's depressed or upset because she doesn't want to be a burden or anything. She doesn't want to be a bother or maybe she can have a memory that may trouble her or something pressuring her in something. hope this helps

Answer 3

you just need to be a good friend to her take her out to the movies have group activities etc. But what ever emotional problems she has she needs to work those out with herself of a phyciatist. I know you wish you could help her alot but just being there for her is more than enough. Believe me having friends is the best thing anyone could have through hard times and without you it would be way worse for her.

Answer 4

The best thing to do now is to leave her alone.She needs time to heal.She is troubled by what is happening.Give her time to get over things,and she will be fine.Just give her a call once in a while to ask her how's she is doing and let her know that you're there in case she needs a listening ear.

Answer 5

Just be there. Try to understand she is sorting a lot out right now. You may have to take her comments with a grain of salt. She will come around soon as long as she has positive friends in her life.

Answer 6

if her mother is alive then she didn't commit suicide. this may be an important piece of information for your friend because sometimes people are really embarrassed if their family member kills themself. she probably has too much emotional energy and can't just let a little out. stay her friend. she will talk when she is ready.

Answer 7

maybe you could give her a bit of space first. but let her know that when she needs help, you're there for her. and make sure you ARE available to help her out when she asks for it. check up on her once in a while just so you know she's there. it's a really hard situation she's in. most importantly, pray to God. if you don't believe in Him, just give a little prayer asking Him to keep her safe. it doesn't seem so much but He works things out amazingly.

Answer 8

Actually you might want to step aside and let time take care of this situation. However keep an eye on you friend and be there just in case she needs you .

Answer 9

She's probably holding alot inside but I wouldn't "push" her to talk; that might drive her further away. Eventually she will want to talk about things and it will be nice to know she has a friend that really cares about how she feels.

Answer 10

Advise your friend to talk to a counselor at school. Continue to support her with your friendship and your prayers. There is little else you can do.
