Invite her over to your house for dinner, take her to the movies. Spend as much time as you can with her so she won't dwell on the fact that her life is about to completely change.And sometimes when you're in the process of having fun with her, bring up the divorce, slowly and carefully. Find out exactly how she feels about it(let her cry,scream,etc.) and let her know that everything will be alright. Both her parents still love her and if she doesn't have anyone else, she still has you.Hope that helps,~Potential.

Yo.
The the probably best thing you can do is hang out with her as much as you can. Bake her a cake or have a party with her. Get some of her friends to have a big party for her. Hang out at the mall or movies or something

the best thing you can do for her is be there for her. talk to her about and listen to what she has to say. ask her if she wants to talk to a professional and then maybe during a lunch time go with her to your school's psychologist or social worker. sit with her while she talks so she has some comfort and sense of security. but if you have something in mind that could be fun after you talk, then take her somewhere wher she will have fun and she can momentarily forget about all the things she is going through. go bowling or ice skating out go take a bike ride, or have a picnic at a park, i don't recommend a movie becuase sometimes they can be sad and its not the same as spending time with you. so talk to her and have fun with her. these are the times when she needs you most.

The best thing you can do, is just hang out with her as much as possible, and be a REALLY good friend to her. Invite her over alot to keep her away from her parents so she doesnt have to see them fight. You cant do anything about her parents, but i'm sure it would make her feel better if you were a really great friend to her.

maybe you should have her sleep over your house. have a good time together. show her that youre there for her and that she can talk to you about anything. or maybe take her out somewhere fun, maybe skating or the mall.

Let her know your there for her if she ever needs anyone or a shoulder to cry for her. Also, if she says anything about her mightve causing it in some sort of way, assure her she didn't. Its her parents problem and not hers. Hope I helped =]

Theres not much you can say to change the situation shes going through OR make her feel better 100%. But, I have helped a friend through a divorce and I can tell you the number one thing to do is listen! Theres going to be a lot of things she's going to want to vent to you about. Tell her youre always there for her and you really want to listen to her. That is pretty much the biggest thing you can do. Also, dont tell people about the divorce - she is trusting you with this. And just try to tell her everything WILL be okay. Because it will! She can get through this because you know her and you know she's strong enough.
