New!

I have this brand new friend (YAY MYSELF! :)) and she was sad a few days ago so I stroked her hair and gave her a few hugs and compliments and told her that things would be alright and not to worry about small things and I rubbed her back and kept giving her grins and stuff, and it worked!

Yellow Skittle

me and my friend had a skittle fight at her house at like 2 am. and i kept throwing yellow skittles at her, (she hates yellow skittles), so she than at that point gained the nickname “yellow skittle.” So now when ever she is upset i call her by her new nickname, and she feels a little better!!! and i feel good myself, for making her feel better.

Hugs and patience

my best friend is a bit of hot tempered so…. I did take the time to ask her what the problem was ‘cuz she usually doesn’t like talking about her problems. Then when she feels ready to tell, I would offer her hugs and consolations… tell her all her good points and make her feel good about herself

Tell her how Important she s!

When my best friend is sad, I always ask her what’s wrong and then try to confort her, and assure her everything will be okay. After that I’ll try to make her laugh, or tell her how much I appreciate her, and how important she is to me, her family, and our other friends too! The most important thing to do when making your BFF laugh, to take the sadness off her mind!

Cheering her up

When my BFF is sad I ask her what’s wrong, and then try to make her laugh. One time, she was crying at school. We play truth or dare a lot, and I know she always picks dare. I asked, “Truth or Dare?” She automatically replied through her tears, “Dare.” I said, “I dare you to smile until I say stop.” She ended up smiling for a good fifteen minutes! After that, she was happier.

Cheering up my friend

First I see what is wrong and if I would be sad over it and if I had experinced it before. If I have then I tell her how I felt and how I deal with it. If I havn’t experinenced yet then I just tell her, “It hasn’t ever happened to me before and I will help in anyway I can

biffle!

when my biffle is down I knoew how to make them feel better. The best way is to think of their personality and why they are sad. Then i think of activities and things that are completely them and are the total oposite of why they are sad! They always like to talk about it and get advice and at the end they love a joke.

when your best friend is sad, how do you cheer her up?

I think that when your friend is sad you should try to cheer her up by thinking about something that makes her lough like jokes, or her silly sayings to someone or something. And then remind her she is your friend and make sure she nowes that.

How I cheer my bffs up is by making them laugh

Well, sometimes best friends might feel bad for a reason. I would try to make them laugh! That makes them cheer up a little… I say something like this: Why do giraffes have long necks? They don’t know the answer. I say because they have stinky feet. Sometimes it is good to make your friends laugh. If my advice doesn’t work then REPLY (best thing to do!). I hope your friends feel better by laughing!

Lot of Laughs

When my best friends are down in the dumps I always act all goofy and say things that will cheer them up and make them laugh , but before that I like to find out why they’re sad and see if there’s anyway I can help them . I do this because when I’m sad that’s the way I would like to be treated

Cheer Her Up

I love my best friend very much. But every once in awhile she will get upset. I have the best ways to cheer her up. this may be different with your bff, but she likes it when i make a joke out of whatever happened. Just be sure not to make the joke too loud (as in too obnoxious) or it could make her feel worse. Plus, try to make her look at the bright side. Show it to her the way you see it. One of the ABSOLUTE BEST ways to make her feel better is to offer help. If she got a bad grade on a test, offer to help her study for the next one. Be sure not to brag about your good grade if you got it. Get it? Another way I help her feel better is get her mind off of it. If she likes dance, ask her to come over and dance with you. Or if she loves movies, ask her over for, lets say, a harry potter movie marathon (just an example) Those are the ways I cheer my best friend up when she’s upset! I hope you can use them!
