Friend Problems

---

A friend of mine is really depressed at the moment. She's missed the past few days of school, and I just talked to her on MSN. Apparently her best friend who she's known for a long time has a boyfriend and is saying that they can no longer be best friends because that should go to him. She's REALLY hurt by this at the moment. I've been trying to comfort her a bit and give advice over MSN but it's not helping things. She's so sad and keeps saying that she doesn't know what to do.All I can think of is telling her to try and tell her friend how unfair she's being and try to explain it to her. She keeps telling me that she doesn't know what to say and that this was her friend with whom she could always talk with and joke around but now she's breaking away. This boyfriend of hers is twenty (she's seventeen) and she wants the girl who I know to feel happy for her.I don't know what to say to her, she's so depressed and lonely right now, please give feedback ASAP

her friend is being very unreasonable, just tell your friend that she needs to start hanging out with different people, that happend to me my friend got a girlfriend and now all he does is hang out with her and talks to her on the phone for hours while im over. So just tell her to branch out. And also just crack some jokes with her and say the funny stories that are like" remember that time when......man that was GREAT!" just dont let her get so down on herself and tell her to branch out, we all know it hurts when a friend gets rid of you like that. but you just gotta keep going. hope it helps

to be honest i don't think there is much you can do in your situation.people become very wierd and unreasonable in relationships. similar things have happened to my friends. i doubt you'd be able to change thier mindseti know its hard but guess they just have to get over it...

It's so hard to say that though. I can't just tell her to get over her friend.On a sidenote, I feel like I'm unable to help her out and I don't know what to say in person. Out of curiosity, if you (anyone reading this, particularily females) were really depressed over something what kind of support would you be looking for from someone in my situation. I've known her for awhile, but only recently been good friends with her. I know this is a very open ended kind of question, but I don't know what to say.

Bros before hoes. Never leave a friend for girl because freinds are the only ones who youre gunna have left to pick up the pieces if it goes wrong. Sounds like the her friends being imature. If my gf tried to tell me who my friends should be I would tell her to piss off and if she didnt like it dump her.

That's exactly what my friends and I say. Though some people break that and end up getting their butt kicked to the curb and crawling back to their friends. Like the line that's been used up "when worse comes to worse my girls come first" something like that... interpret it lol

Yup, good freinds are always there. Girls come and go.

yeah wish my friends knew that.

I try to abide by that rule with my good friends. Unfortunately this friend of my friend isn't and it's tearing up the girl who's my friend.

Maybe you should talk to her friend and tell her how it goes in the land of bros and hoes. Wow I'm such a poet.

Unfortunately I've never seen her so I couldn't.You should write poem about bros and hoes, it would kick ass

I second that. She shouldnt be friends with a person that would do something like that anyway.

Apparently it didn't used to be this way and she's known her for a long time. I think the thing that really hurts is that she apparently stuck by her through some sexual abuse problems that the other girl was having and now she feels let down.

wow I understand why that would hurt now. That person takes your friend's friendship for granted!
