i was wondering, what are some ways to help cheer up someone who suffers from depression? my friend suffers from it a lot and she gets down really easy. thanks in advance.

Once you know what the cause is a solution should be close for you. For example if it's a family matter that is bringing your friend down, then maybe she just needs to talk about the problem and realise that she has friends close by listen and understand.
