Happy Things

What To Do If A Friend Is Sad

⇢ Do
↠Sit with them, and talk if they want to
↠If it's ok, go to their house if they don't want to be alone
↠Let them know that you're there for them
↠Make them a dessert like a cake, because who doesn't like dessert?
↠Be patient with them. You're not yourself when you're upset, so they might say things they don't really mean.
↠Give them frosting.
↠Listen to them. It's the best and most important thing you can do.

⇢Don't
↠Push them to tell you what's wrong if you don't know
↠Say "It could be worse."
↠Talk about your problems, everyone has issues and that's normal, but there comes a time when someone just needs to be listened to. When they are going through something talking about yourself could make things worse, so just wait for the right time.
↠Get mad at them. It's really hard sometimes but if they are going through something, the last thing they need is a friend mad at them.
↠Tell them "Just be happy!" because you see, everyone wants to be happy, but sometimes you just can't. That's like telling someone who just broke their leg "get over it." They can't.
