Basketball
Ok so my grade had a school tryout all this week for basketball. At the end, I made the team but my best friend didn't make it. He did good and obviously should have made it. He is very upset and I don't know how to cheer him up. It was clearly a BS decision by the coach and everybody knows it. Please help.

I think you should just talk to him about it. Obviously everyone can't make the team, but that doesn't mean he's a bad player. Your coach could have made a bad decision. Explain how you still think he's really good & that he should continue with it. He doesn't have to play for your school or the same team as you. In every state, there's various recreational leagues & clubs that get teams together. Try searching it in google with your city & state. AAU is also a very good but competitive league he can try. If not, why not asking your coach if he could be the manager?? He might be upset that he doesn't get to play, but he could still be apart of the team & hang out with you & your teammates.
-hope that helped!♥

Well, that really stinks. And I know how you feel. I made cheerleading and my best friend didn't, even though she was really good and everyone expected her to make it. And I felt awful about it!
I think the only thing you can do is just tell him you're really sorry he didn't make it; make a few comments about the coach being blind or whatever; and then don't bring it up anymore. If you talk about it TOO much, it will just make your friend feel bad all over again. Also, if you get together with your teammates to hang out or whatever, be sure to invite your friend; that will keep him from feeling totally left out.
