We do want help our family, friends and classmates when they’re having a hard time. But how can we help our people out in right ways?
Rachel Miller is a writer and she mentions some ways about that in her book How to Be There for Yourself and Your People.
Keep your focus on your friend.
When a friend comes to you, it’s a good idea to help them forget their terrible experience. But if you want to tell them a similar experience, it’s not always welcome.
If you do feel that your experience might be helpful to hear, Miller’s advice is to let your friend know that you went through something similar, but allow them to decide if they want to hear about it at the moment.
Ask how you can best help your friend.
You may not know what kind of help your friend wants. Just ask! Miller advises to try these questions:
“What’s the best way I can help you right now?”
“Do you need someone to talk to?”
“Would you like my advice?”
“How are you feeling about the hard experience you’re going through?”
A heartfelt “I’m sorry” is a great help.
People may shy away from saying “I’m sorry” to the people in trouble, because you cannot feel the same way as them. But Miller says a real, honest “I’m sorry” can help to make your friend feel heard and accepted. “Sometimes there isn’t a perfect way to make people feel better,” she says. “But what you need to do is to say ‘You’re not alone. I’m with you. I’m so sorry it’s happening to you.’”

One of the most important things in the world is friendship. In order to have friends, you have to be a friend. But how can you be a good friend at school?
Listen—Listen when they are talking. Don’t say anything unless they ask you a question. Sometimes it’s not necessary for you to have anything to say; they just need someone to talk to about their feelings.
Help them—If your friend is ever in need of something, be there to help them. You should try to put them first, but make sure you don’t do everything they want you to do. Try to take an extra pencil or pen with you to classes in case they forget one. Have a little extra money in your pocket in case they forget something they need.
Be there for them—Be there for your friends to help make them feel better in hard times. Marilyn Monroe, a famous actor, once said, “Sometimes I am in a bad mood, but if you can’t stay with me at my worst, you are sure not to deserve( 值 得 ) to be with me at my best.” Always remember this! If you don’t want to stay with your friends when they’re in hard time, then you don’t deserve to be with them when they’re having a good time!
Make plans—Try to make plans with your friends. Go shopping, go to a movie and so on. Take time to know each other even better by doing something you both enjoy. By planning things together, you both can have a good time. And you’ll still keep these things in mind when you’re all old!

Be a helper | Please give your helping hands when your friend You should put your friends |
