hi..I'm so sorry about your friend and what a wonderful friend are you, i wish i have a friend like you one day....try to talk to him even when he's shutting you down, try again...he will talk trust me.. it's just hard for guys to complain and tell there pain.. not easy for them.....so keep trying...at least he knows and feels that you are there for him
if there is a place he likes take him there, always try to remind him that you are his friend and you will be glad to help him or be there for him... remind him of the situations that he was there for you in
Good Luck and God bless you

Oh, this is one of the toughest things that you can deal with. Actually there are alot of diffrent ways to help your friend. You see first of all, you should try to get some information out of him. He obviously needs to talk to someone at this point in time and YOU should be the one to talk him through all of this. Maybe you should make a quik trip to his house and see what's going on. But you should notify him before you go over. get a taste of what his parents and his enviroment is like and determine if that is the problem

Just let him deal with it if he wants to be alone let him you know what i mean. In due time when he is ready he will let you know but until then dont try to force it out of him it will only end up bad so just give him his space and it will be fine. However if it starts getting bad tell someone who can help him because it might be a serious problem. Just make sure your always available for him to talk to.

I agree with everyone else. Let him know that you are there for him but dont push him. He'll talk when hes ready. Ask him to come hang out at your house if hes uncomfortable at home, include him in some of your activities. He sounds like he might be depressed. If he gets worse, get an adult that you both trust involved.

Do not believe him when he says that he does not want to talk about it. See how he has "crying myself to sleep" he is callin out for help. He would not put that if he didn't want anyone to know or ask. Maybe you should keep on checking on him but not bugging him about it. When he is ready to talk about it and get it out then he will know that you are there willing to help and did not give up on him. good luck!

Let him know you are there to talk and do not make him feel uncomfortable around you. If you probe and he says he doesn't want to talk, he just might not. Be patient not pushy and wait for him to come to you. Be there for him, that way if and when he wants to talk he'll know he can turn to you. But respect him, if he insist he doesn't want to talk let it alone...

Tell him your there for him, but don't push it. The most you can do right now is let him do wat he wants. If he wants to talk to you than be all ears. If he doesn't than back off a little, but don't get annoyed. He doesn't need a pissed off friend added to the list of his problems.
I hope everything works out
good luck.

let him know that if he wants to talk to you about something, that you will be there if he needs you, then tell him everything will be ok. then as nice as possibly ask whats wrong so you can help him.

if he doesn't want to talk about it you have to respect that just do as much as you can to support them and just try to help as much as possible and let them know that you are always there for them and if they want to talk to u about it...LISTEN!!
