How to Help a Friend « Thread Started on Mar 13, 2007, 1:37pm »
What do you do when you know someone in a horrible situation? How can you show them that you love them and that God loves them too? What should you do? Have you guys ever had a friend go through somthing? What did you do? Share your stories, struggles, and concerns about how to help a friend in a deadly situation.

like, you know what you should say - and you think you know how to say it,you're just afraid they'll take it the wrong way, or they will feel like you pity them. I agree. They need to hear they're loved. By who? JESUS CHRIST> Thats the answer to eveything. really. Its hard to say "Ya i know you're going through hell - but hey! Jesus lovesyou!" Almost sounds too light - too happy. Let them grieve. Its okay to cry and hurt a bit. But suicidal thoughts are dangerous, and if you're involved, NEVER let them get to that point if you can help it. PRAY PRAY PRAY, girl. Pray hard.

Hey! Sorry for not answering earlier but - i can answer you now!
There are two things that will work wonders and here they are:
1. Let her know you love her, and show God's love to her through you 2. Pray, Pray, Pray, Pray, and did I say Pray?
Also, I would be best to talk to an adult about this - like a school consillor, or pastor. It may seem weird, but remember - helping people is what they do for a living!

This is pretty sad...We have a new student in our 8th grade class. He is from a different province. He lives with his sister and not his parents. Nobody knows why, because nobody feels comfortable talking about it. And now some of the guys that are "his friends" think he is smoking stuff...They say they saw a lighter in his wallet and that he keeps smelling it or something. They have no proof, but they think they should do something. So on our graduation trip, they stole his wallet and showed it to the teachrs. they talked to him, and now we have no clue if he really was smoking stuff or not. I wanna help him...but he seems so mad all the time that i am afraid to talk to him. Its so sad that someone so young can have so many problems. Can anyone help?
Where you are the one, the one, That lies close to me. Whispers, "Hello, I miss you quite terribly." I fell in love, in love, With you suddenly. Now there's no place else, I could be, but, Here in your arms <33....

Hey I know how hard it is to approch someone like that, and it's not fair but it's also life. i know it's a little late but next time you see him if the opportunity presents itself i would say to and talk to him. maybe not telling him to read different verses and saying sorry every step of the way but just talking about something neutral idk skating or something he seems interested in. i bet he will warm up in time and then maybe you will be the one to intruduce him to christ ....eventually
