Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
Hmm.. sounds like me. Anyway, If she's really upset, then you should talk to her about it in a private place where you won't be overheard. If she says, "Nothing..." then that means it's a BIG something! Just let her know that you worry about her constantly, you can't stand to think that she is really upset, and that you love her for who she is, no matter what kind of shit she has done. Let her know that you can keep a secret because you're her friend.
If she is cutting, has eating disorders, or has suicidal thoughts, it's really serious. You need to get help for her because she needs advice beyond anything you or I could say. Before telling an adult or councler, PLEASE make sure that she isn't faking depression. If you go to an adult with false information, you could get her in serious trouble. Also, she'd be damn pissed.
Speaking of her being pissed, she might be mad at your for going to an adult. But in the long run, you're doing her a HUGE favor.
Hope I helped.. fill me in on what happens!
