Question

My friend thats a girl is really depressed about life. idk what to say to make her feel better, what do i do??

Answer 1

tell her to go visit a Cuban native and they'll tell her how good she has it.  

Answer 2

Tell her to move out of the suburbs.  

Answer 3

refer her to a professional and if she starts talking about suicide, don't laugh it off. There's only so much a friend can do. Listen, offer support, but I really think you should get her some help. ex:tell parents, HS/MS counselor, pastor, etc.

Answer 4

How old is she? How depressed? This can be serious.  Make sure she does not have an actual plan to hurt herself. Depression is an illness that can require medication. You cannot "say" something to make a person feel better if they are depressed.  Be a good friend and get help for her.  She needs professional help and then just be a good supportive friend.

Answer 5

she might be lonely somehow.

did a loved one pass away?

take her to an animal shelter and see if a pet can make her feel better

Answer 6

jus say "hey ***** whats wit the long face. you think u have it bad what do you think i should do wit this. (look down at your pants). when you do this she will forget bout her problems than you guys will *****

Answer 7

Just tell her if she ever wants to talk about it, you're there to listen. It helps to talk about it. That's what friends are for. I have depression problems sometimes and I know it helps to hang out with my friends, or get on the comp, listen to music... anything to get my mind off of it. Do something fun with her. What does she like? Amusement parks are always great. ^_^
