Does she actually discuss hurting herself, even if there are not noticeable wounds? If she talks about cutting, does she claim it makes her feel less stress? Is she unnaturally depressed, has stopped taking an interest in things she previously enjoyed? If so, then that is an issue; something that can be greatly assisted by your support, but also where she does need outside intervention (from her family, mental health professionals). If she does any of the above, then you should encourage her to talk to her family about it, or talk to them if she refuses to do so; it would be supporting and assisting her, even if she becomes angry at you for doing it. However, merely claiming to be 'emo' can mean she is just a fan of that style of music, or fashion, or she enjoys emo-style writings. She may simply want to be seen as 'emo' to attract a certain type of person. It doesn't necessarily mean she is (unnaturally) depressed or that she cuts herself, unless she has behaviors that the previous paragraph mentioned. Emo is as much a societal trend as 'Goth' is. I'd likely be classified as a metalhead but I don't eviscerate virgins, worship Baphomet or torch churches by the full moon. Your friend simply may have different interests than you.

It's important to have an open and non-judgmental conversation with your friend about their feelings and concerns. Express your care for them and ask how they are truly feeling. Encourage them to seek help from a mental health professional if they are struggling. Avoid making assumptions about their mental health based on external appearances.

What do you do if your best friend is stealing from you?
My advice- Well, if they are stealing from you then i don't think that you guys should STAY best friends. If a friend is worth keeping they will stick by you through anything, I suggest that you talk to this friend about it and maybe try and fix things..:Dhope that helpedI suggest that you figure out what he/she took, then try to recover the stuff.Afterwards, you should talk to your best friend about it, and figure out if they're really your friend or just pretended to be just to get your stuff.If they are really your friend, don't put all the trust you had back into her/him.If they were to get your stuff, I suggest you stop bringing them to your house, or choose to stop being friends.Hope I helped! ☺☻~monk7monk

What do you do when you have a friend who really likes one of your friends and she really likes him too but has self-esteem issues and won't go out with him because she doesn't think she's good enough?
Encourage your friend with self-esteem issues to communicate her feelings honestly to the person she likes. Offer your support and remind her of her worth. Help boost her confidence and self-esteem by highlighting her positive qualities. Ultimately, it's important for her to make her own decisions, but your encouragement can make a difference.
What do you do if the whole school hates you?
It's important to address the situation by trying to understand why the school feels that way and work on building positive relationships with others by being kind, respectful, and showing them your true self. Seeking support from a teacher, counselor, or trusted adult can also help navigate the situation and find ways to improve it. Remember that people's feelings can change over time with effort.
What type of listening is most appropriate when your friend is telling you about his or her problems?

How can you tell your friend that has a new friend but when you asked the new friend she said she is not your friend's new friend?
It is possible there is a bit of jealousy going on with you towards your friend as you had no right to question the new friend as to whether she really was your friend's friend or not. Keep out of it and let your friend find out for herself.

If your friend wants you to ask a guy if he likes her should you ask him?
If she really wants to know she should ask him herself.
Your best friend wants you to break up with her boyfriend for her how do you tell him?
I believe that getting your friend to dump your boyfriend is wrong. Tell her she has to do it herself or it will really break his heart. If her boyfriend is really immature he wont believe you if you tell him anyway. If you have to do it, break it to him gently, somewhere along the lines of "Amy really likes you but she thinks it will be best if you just stayed friends, maybe you should talk to her about it, sort things out." That will force your friend to talk to him herself. Hope this helps!
What does that mean if the guy you like's friend who has a girlfriend always looks at you when no one can notice you like his friend?
I think it means that it doesn't really show you like the boy and because his friend doesn't know that, it could be he's considering making you his new girlfriend.

You tell this so called, "friend" to stop bragging and gloating about herself. If she doesn't, come clean. Tell her how you feel, and go find sombody else to hang out with. don't take her slack!!!
How do you find out if a boy really likes you but he's your best friend?
I'll be totally and completely honest... Ask him. If he's your best friend and you're considering taking the next step, you should be able to ask him. If you can't be honest with him, you have no business dating him.
If a guy heard through a friend that you like him and claims he doesn't care but displays most of the signs that he likes you should you talk to him about it?
If you really won't to, but think would it be fare to him? you might embarrass him.
My bisexual friend is feeling me up we're both girls and she always claims she is joking is she really?
Well a lot of people are like that really. I even have some friends who have a "Two-Scoop Tuesday" in which they grope each other at unsuspecting moments as part of just a big joke. If she's your friend she probably wouldn't do that if she liked you
