give her some time and let her come to you when she feels its best.
but if you sense something is VERY wrong, you confront her about it. let her know you care and that you just want to help.

if the time thing doesn't work, write her a note explaining to her that you love her and you're always going to be there to help her and that you just want her to open up so that you can. let her know you are worried about her flaking out on classes and that you know shes better than that. just make sure she knows that you truly care and that you arnt trying to be pushy or anything.

good luck :D

Kudos for caring and trying to be a good friend, but you cannot force her to talk to you. It is her personal business and will share it with you if she pleases, and if she does not want to then she won't The only thing you can do is just let her know that you are there for her IF she needs you, then back off. You may not know how hard she's having it right now, so give her some time to collect herself.

i think you need to talk to her, like really talk to her about how she can't go through it alone and you'll always be there(and tell her you really mean it) and if she wants things to get better she needs help, that she can get from you! and its not going to help if she ditches class. tell her yes she has told you she would talk to you about it, but she really has too becuase you'll give her all the help she needs.

i know this sounds like super deep, but you need something that will let her know how you feel and how she needs the help. and if you really care about her, you should say it.

when you see her stop her and "say i am worried about you talk to me about your trouble with your family!i thought we were close?i want you to tell me now whats going on." sorry if she still won't tell you.
