put yourself in her shoes- how would you feel? would you feel smothered if you were constantly hugged, complimented, and etc? Tell her you don't want anything bad to happen to her and you don't want to lose her, and that the best thing to do is go to councelling(sp?) tell her she's not alone-that you're going through this together. And tell her not to do anything stupid b/c if she's gone you'll really miss her. Try you're hardest to cheer her up. Find out her problems-is she constantly fighting w/ her parents, is she doing bad in school, is she frustrated with her social life? You need to identify the problem.
I hope this helps you and your friend |
