hi i'm a guy and one of my best friends is a girl. i'm usually the one giving the advice but this time i don't know what to do. you see we have been friends for 3 years and this year both of us have been very close. now that we are just a few days away from graduating she seems to have changed. we don't talk a lot anymore and everytime i try to strike up a conversation it seems she doesn't talk much. the thing is that i think that she's been stressed with her family life and she usually tells me everything i've had bad experiences with fake friends and she's not like that. we both care for each other a lot. and i'm just wondering if this is a faze that she's going through. we used to talk everyday but the past week we have been drifting apart. i need help!!

She might be stressing over something in her family, and if you feel like you've tried reaching out to her, then it's probably best to give her some space until she's willing to talk about it or just moves on and lets it pass.
If you havn't already, tell her that you've noticed for a while that she's been upset and down about something and ask if she wants to talk about it. If not, let her know you're here if she needs someone. But don't be offended if she doesn't want to talk about it. I know you're used to helping her, but she probably needs space and wants to deal with it in her own way.
If she tells you that nothing is wrong, then just say that you feel like your friendshp is a little distant lately and if she still doesn't come around, then leave her alone and give her time.
