Question Posted Thursday February 24 2005, 2:30 pm
my bestfriend (girl) is driving my crazy. we have been tight for 3 years and i love her but she is always not happy about something. i would not say she is truely depressed, but she HATES everything and everybody, but me. if she had something major bad in her life i would understand but she doesn't. my mom says you make your own happiness and being negative is just a bad habit and you can change your attitude. how can i help her (and help me as i want to keep her friendship)? her negetive outlook sucks the fun out of everyday things. girl/15
