How do I cheer up my friend?

Okay so I'm 14 years old and my friend (she's 15) just got broken up with by her boyfriend of a couple of months that she really liked...the worst part is that she used to be a cutter, and now she's thinking about doing it again. I really care about her and I just want her to feel better. It's 11:00 at night and her parents are strict anyway so I can't even see her to hug her or something. What can I say?How do I cheer up my friend?
You have to be supportive of her. Listen to anything and everything she says because she probably wants to talk about the good times and the things she loved about him. Don't let her think too much about it though. After awhile of letting her get what she has to say out. Try working your way on to other subjects that are lighter and happier. Take her mind off of her pain and help her calm down more. Suggest she talk to her ex more and learn what went wrong and try to see if anything can help the relationship work. Tell her that cutting herself could actually make her less desirable to her (ex) and would also probably lower the possibility that they could work things out. Just say what needs to be said. And be there. But also watch out to make sure she is taking care of herself. Sometimes when people have something seriously affect them they need more help.How do I cheer up my friend?
you could be like:





hey i know you may be sad about the whole break up thing but there are other boys out there and you was too good for him any way he couldn't handle you no way. but any way you know im here for you girl. you don't need to overreact because of that. i just wanted you too know the im here i care about you so please could you not go back to being a cutter. when you do that you put me in pain. if you have a problem you can talk to me about it just don't hurt yourself.
Your friend uses cutting as a way to distract her from the stress she's going through. It's good that she has you to confide in about what's going on. It may be a good idea to get an older person she feels comfortable with involved if she really seems like she's going to relapse into cutting herself. Keep your conversation upbeat and try to focus on how it's not the end of the world and you're there for her.
LET HER KNOW, NO MATTER WHAT, YOU'LL BE THERE FOR HER. TELL HER, YOU'RE LOVE FOR HER, WILL NEVER CHANGE AND IF IT WERE POSSIBLE, YOU WOULD TAKE THAT PAIN FROM HER!!! IT'S SO DIFFICULT TO SEE A FRIEND HURTING, AND LET HER KNOW OFTEN, YOU'LL STAND FOR HER, WHEN SHE FEELS SHE CAN'T STAND, ON HER OWN!!!! YOU'LL HOLD HER UP, WHEN SHE FEELS ALONE!!! TELL HER YOU'LL BE THERE AND SHE CAN CALL ON YOU, IN HER MOST DESPERATE MOMENTS.





FOR THIS IS WHAT A FRIEND WOULD DO, WHEN THEIR FRIENDS ARE HURTING!!! YOU ACCEPT THEM HOW THEY ARE, RATHER THEIR HAPPY AND JOYOUS OR HURTING AND LONELY!!!





YOU'RE A GREAT FRIEND, FOR YOUR WORRYING ABOUT HER, AND YOU WILL BE BLESSED WITH MANY FRIENDS, THAT LOVE AND RESPECT YOU. THEY'LL HOLD YOU IN HIGH ESTEEM, SO I WANT TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SAY, ';THANK YOU FOR BEING WHO YOU ARE';!!!
This might sound inappropriate, but have a party. Not exactly a celebration party, but just something to cheer her up. Convince her she's better than him and he wasn't worth it etc. and spend a girl's night eating chocolate, hugging, complaining, whining etc. for 24 hours. Then the next day, get over it. :)
If i were you, i would say that there are many people on this Earth, and that she shouldn't just settle for one person


I don't know what the situation was but, set a time where her boyfriend and your friend can talk


maybe she will feel better if they are just friends


tell her that cutting is getting her nowhere
make her laugh somehow, request to her a funny youtube video or something. breakups are always hard just remind her that there will be other people later on in her life that will come for a reason. and remind her that they were not meant to be because everything happens for a reason
Say that cutting isn't going to make anything better, it just makes everything a whole lot worse. I know that doesn't sound so comforting, but it's the truth.
tell her that she doesnt need to go back to what she was doing before tell her that there are others guys out there. send her something that makes her feel better
tell her about everything she has, and not to think about what she doesn't have.
Send her funny videos through internet? Drop a box of chocolate for her? :]
