Advice

All, theres this girl I know who I guess I'm mutual friends with and today she came over to where I was sitting and started crying. She was crying because her best friend was no longer at my school because she moved to Devonport. Well, the thing is, I want to become better friends with her to help her get over the loss of her best friend at school time but she's really difficult to become friends with. She reads on her own a lot, she hates anybody touching her/getting too close, and shes very solitary. I want to help her because, although she doesn't show it much on the outside, on the inside she is suffering. Any advice on how I can help...? Please post in comments

The next day (today as I'm writing it) it was kinda the same. No real conversation etc... But I did find out that she hates this annoying girl in our Spanish class. But, the thing is that this 'annoying' girl is kinda my friend but only because if I stop being nice to her or tell her to go away I will hurt her feelings and she lives in my street and I'm not a naturally horrible person....
But, after school we both do the same trampolining club. In the club we both got on really well and we had a great laugh :D I hope tomorrow is going to be the same...

Hmmm. I think if she's afraid of getting too close to people all you can do is be there for her:/ I wish you luck.

Firstly, do you know hey she chooses to be isolated. If you know this then the rest will be easy

*why

You need to find out why she chooses to be isolated, how much she is suffering and why she feels as though her friend movie g is the end of the world. You could tell her this is a doorway to start fresh, to make new friends. Tell her that you know someone who's best friend died (me) and tell her that I manage to cope, to move on she needs to create more friendships but never forget her friend. She actually ha it easier than me 'coz I know that I'll never b able to see my friend again, but she still has a chance

I have a friend who used to be exactly like that. She was often picked on, so perhaps you can ask her if she's having any problems with other students?

Maybe you can start of by askin her about the book she is reading... Or you could talk to her about a book you've read or something like that

Maybe she might start talking... Hope this helped

@Blueblotts thank you :)

@Davedave16 great advice. :) I'll try to do it and see what happens

@sguga thank you, I'll give that a go and hope it works

@Mattebreon yeah, I think she does get picked on quite a bit. I'll stick around her to find out who it is or ask her. Thanks :)

@Davedave16 i think it she finds it hard because she spent every break and lunch time with her and without her she doesn't know what to do with herself. Sorry for your loss 😓

@KANS thanks for your consideration. Also, talk to her. Communication is the number one thing in any friendship

@Davedave16 thank you 😊 ill see how it goes today and tell you what happened

@Davedave16 @sguga @Mattebreon @Blueblotts I've updated it and this is what happened...

Aww that's really good 😉

@KANS great!

@sguga @Davedave16 thank you! I hope it's the same tomorrow

@KANS That's so good to hear! I do hope that everything goes well for you!
