What To Say To A Troubled Friend . . .
"I'm here for you."


"I want to hear about what's bothering you."


"I really care about you."


"Let's talk and figure out how to make things better."


"Things are tough now but they will change - you've got to hang in there and I'm here to help."


"I would feel horrible if you hurt yourself and I don't want you to die."


"If I can't help you, I'll help you find someone who can help."


"No one and nothing is worth taking your life for."


What You Can Do To Help A Depressed Or Suicidal Friend.
Listen to your friend with concern.
Ask your friend if he ever felt this bad before. If so, how did he handle the situation?
Share a time when you felt pretty bad and assure your friend that things can and will change.
Be especially concerned if your friend takes drugs and/or alcohol because their judgement is impaired.
Ask if your friend has suicidal thoughts.
Let your friend know that many people think about suicide but never actually attempt it.
Give your friend a hotline number and make sure your friend calls.
Stay with a depressed person. Do something together.
If your friend is suicidal and refuses to get help, tell a responsible adult as soon as possible.
Make specific plans to see your friend the next day.

GOOD LUCK AND CONTACT ME FOR ANY QUESTIONS

I'm switching schools next year so I won't be going back. I want to admit to my guy friend that I have feelings for him. I like him alot but I know he likes another girl & she knows that. If I tell him how I feel, do you think things will be weird this summer if he rejects, since I planned on hanging out with him as friends anyways?

Acctually the same the happened to me but sorta flipped. I liked this guy Diego. He's from mexico and said he was only gonna be here for a year. He was really sweet and nice and a truely genuine person. WEll on the last day of school i gave him my number and said, Diego, i really like you, i have for a long time. i just wanted to tell you that. you dont have to like me i jsut wanted to tell you. well the next day he called me and said"Ava, i really like you too. It's just that im moving back to mexico and i dont wanna have a relations ship with a girl thats 10,000 miles away." i under stood well then a week later he found out that his father was staying because he got a huge job here in new york. So now we have been going out for 2 1/2 years and we are truely in love. So for you i dont think it would be any different. its fine things shouldn't change. I mean he will then know you like him so if he starts like ya your still there!!


Hope i helped and good luck
