Question

shes depressed and broke down in tears in front of a teacher.... help me.. i dont know what to say to her....

shes having a breakdown RIGHT NOW... shall i go round to her house???

Answer 1

Ask her, if she gives up on school, how does she plan on functioning on down the line? How does she plan on getting a job and providing for herself? It is hard enough in this world with a diploma and college degree, how does she plan on making it without either? Don't get me wrong, school is hard, I will tell anybody that but once you have been through the struggles and torture from so call friends and enemies, you are so thankful come graduation that you made it. When you are sitting there in your gown and cap, listening to those long speeches, she can reminisce on what it took to get to where she is. It is such a blessing to walk across that stage to receive your diploma. There are no words to describe it. Yeah, some teachers don't care if you succeed or not but she has to make up in her mind that she will accomplish her goals with or without the help of her teachers. She can do it, only if she tries. Don't give up!!!
Is she having problems at home to cause her to be so depressed? If she is that depressed, also try to find her someone to talk to if it is seem like you can't help her. The dangers of depression is suicide. I don't want your friend to kill herself so please try your best to get her the necessary help that you can and continue being a friend to her. If she need a friend, she need one now. That's what friends do. Be there through thick and thin=)

Answer 2

take her to mc donalds and tell her this is your future from now on.

Alright that was mean. Is mostly true though. What you have to explain to your friend is that life is not fair. There will be people that wil help you and peole that will try to sink you. We live on kind of a board game where the rules are already establish. You play by them or you loose. The the wrong turn and you loose. Cheat, and you may loose if you get caught. The name of the gameiscalled make it difficult to everyone. If you let other people get in your ay or stop you from progressing then you let them win. That is just the way the game is played.

It is ok to be frustrated and don't understand things. I have dropped classes in college that I did not understand yet I graduated with 3.78 gpa. Yes, I did fail a couple ofclasses. But I got up and tried agai or move to something different. I have encounter god people and good teachers. I have also encounters a ss holes that seem that all they want is to flunk you. Or to see you cry. That isjust the way things are. Sometimes you can't do anything about it except keep trying or you will loose. The bad people won't loose if you quit Thats what they want. They want you to loose so they can win. Anyways, explain this to your friend and stand by her side.

Answer 3

You can always try the practical approach: high school grads make thousands more than drop-outs and college grads make thousands more than high school grads. I live in rural VA and around here, you can't make more than $10 an hour unless you have an Associate's degree or equivalent. I'm a college student and I'm more eligible for some jobs than my high-school grad parents just because I have college time.

See if she needs help with her studies (it sounds like she has an academics problem) then either you be her tutor or help her find a tutor. Try to get her to talk to the school councilor.

Answer 4

Tell your friend that school is the most important thing. and maybe right now school seems like a waist of time but as you get older you will realize how important school really is. Just always be there for your friend no matter what decision she makes. comfort her it seems to me that maybe she is going through a really rough time right now. Well stay in school. and i wish the best of luck to you. What ever you do dont leave her alone because if you do leave her alone she will think you dont care about her.

GIVE HER A HUGE HUG. hugs always help me through hard times

Answer 5

Example of what I told my nice who hated school & wanted to stay home. You need to go and do well in school. Why? Because you need to get in and graduate a good collage. Why? Because you want to have a high paying job. With out the degree your options are limited. People with no to little education can not get there foot in the door. Would you prefer to be in the position to clean others homes or be in the positon of hiring someone to clean your home. Note in no way am I insulting or degrating anyone's occupation.

Answer 6

tell her to start planning her life. she is not too young to do it. decide about college. start saving for it. get a part-time job and put the money away. If she is 16, she can leave school, work for 2 years and save her money, then go to college. When she is an adult, she will have the money to live an easier life and she will have the things she likes because she can afford them. she will also have self-confidence that comes from meeting a goal and she will be independent and able to take her life any direction she wants to.

Answer 7

it is better to get a real diploma than a ged. Eventually she will want to get a job, and may want to go to college. It does make a difference to an employer or college admin. If the teacher is abusing her, she should report her.

Answer 8

She probably needs to discuss this with the school counselor. She may be going through burn out or something. But she needs to finish her education. Or she could just get used to saying "do you want fries with that."

Answer 9

be ther for her as a friend and school as far as that goes s$$t you cant go nowhere i life with out education especially now-a-days unless she wants to work at a fast food in the future!

Answer 10

just be there for her. right now there is nothing that you can really say to her. she is going through something and right now she needs you to be her friend. just listen to her. if she ask for your advice that's when you give it to her.
