how to help a broken hearted friend (sry it is kinda long)
Question Posted Thursday February 1 2007, 7:56 pm
my friend james is not a conventional kid he is awesome but some people thinks he is crazy, that doesnt bother me .before he liked the most "popular gurl in school" and when she rejected him he got all emotional and detached he wouldnt even acknowledge me but he got over that. but now he likes a new gurl and i no she will reject him because she is my friend but and i no how she feels about him, i tell him not to ask her out because he wil get his heart broken again but he doesnt listen so today he asked her out and she said no and now he is detached again. im not sure wat to do now because it is weird to hang wit her when he is soooo upset. im rele want to help him but now he is taken his anger out on me.

James may be upset at first but tell him that you're both your friend and he cant expect you to drop the girl.. and eventually he will understand. also suggestion that you all three hang out. and then they can become friends. i hope it helps.
and just remember, even though ur friends you dont need to take this, you dont need to have him detach from you every time he gets rejects.

Tell him you're there for him and nothing can change that. Say that any girl in the world that rejects him doesn't know what they're missing out on. He's a great guy (I'm sure) so he doesn't need a girlfriend to prove it to other people! Just be there for him more often, call him, email him...etc. Take him to do things he loves to do, and I'm sure he'll appreciate your time. I really hope this helps and he's in my prayers. And tell him that everyone experiences this and the hurt will go away. After all "When you were a baby how did you learn to walk? You fell right? Well the important thing is that you get back up. You have to fail to succeed." -Lauren Cronin. Good luck! [ Depressed_Poet's advice column | Ask Depressed_Poet A Question ]
