The test of true friendship's when the going gets tough - so if your mate's in crisis, make sure you're her shoulder to cry on.
What if your friend is harming herself?
Be patient and sympathetic, and let her vent her emotions – above all, try not to judge. Get advice from an understanding adult or from an organisation specialising in such cases.
