writes:You guys gave good advice on my last question so I was wondering if you could help me. My best friend recently broke up with her boyfriend. He cheated on her and she is crushed. I've tried my hardest to help her and comfort her but she refuses. Every other boy that likes her she has pushed away. I really want to help her because I hate seeing her so sad. What should I do?

Stop by to check on her, and see if you and your other friends can get her out of her room to just do some shopping, hanging out together, or doing each others nails. Talk about how she feels and make her laugh. Making her laugh is really good for her. She doesn't really need to be around boys right now.
Don't feel bad if you run out of things to do. These sorts of things have to fade-away on their own. Sometimes trying too hard will just get on her nerves; so try not to go overboard trying to cheer her up. Remind her she always has you and your other friends to watch her back. Time does all the rest.

 Does she have any hobbies? Is there a TV show she really love? Did she used to LOVE the zoo when she was younger or have a favorite museum? There are many things you can do that are free or fairly cheap.
Ask your mom/dad to take (or just drive) you guys to the zoo, museum, book-store, or have a picnic in the park (or backyard)... and have a day of not worrying about and/or talking about all this relationship stuff.
Have a sleepover and watch some movies on Netflix (with parents permission of course) make some popcorn.
Maybe what she really NEED is to not date a while, but get out and have fun LIVING life.
Not being in a relationship is NOT the end of the world, and CERTAINLY NOT being with a cheating scumbag is a GOOD thing!
Your friend needs to KNOW and ACCEPT that the guy didn't CHEAT because of anything SHE did or didn't do. He cheated because he is young, stupid and doesn't know how to REALLY treat a girl good. HE wasn't a KEEPER.
