What do i say to my friend who lost their dad?
Aw! My dad died to when I was in the 2nd grade, and im 14 [9th] now, well, my class made this huge card with simple things i did with my dad. Like of course they didnt know what we did. But since your her friend, you could draw a huge flower [what my class did for me] and draw a little picture like her dad cooking, working, etc in the middle. And say angels fly over you, people may go, but their still there in your memories. Go to the funeral to show that you care, But be there when she needs someone to talk to, buy her, her favorite candy or cd or something to cheer her up. But just talk and cheer her up will really help and mean something.
What is the right way to say that we have been friends for a long time and still are? Is it correct to say, “It’s been a long time we are friends?”
“We have been friends for a long time.” Note that this is opposed to saying, “We were friends for a long time.” If you say “were” the implication is that you are no longer friends. But if you say, “have been” the implication is that you were friends and continue to be friends. That’s the general grammatical rule for using “were” versus “have been.”Other ways to express the same sentiment are:“We are old friends.”“You are one of my oldest friends.”“I am one of your oldest friends.”“Our friendship has lasted a long time.”
What can I do to say sorry to my friend?
Be clear, direct don’t beat around the bush.Admit your mistakes first, don’t try to justify them. If you try to shift the blame to external circumstances, it will only make matters worse.After saying sorry let your actions show it, ask them how can you make things right and then try to make things right.Most of the times when a mistake has been made, both people have some grievances to share, don’t shy away from clearly sharing what’s bothering you too.Don’t involve other people. If you b*tch around their back, it will only cause misunderstandings to increase and you should expect same thing from them.Lastly, in the process of apologizing don’t end up losing your self-respect!
What should I say to a friend whose mother has died?
First, I have to say "good for you" that you are going to use the phone and not email. I am horrified when people use email to inform others of someone's death and/or to respond. I had to get that said.When someone dies, we are always sorry regardless of how well we knew the person or what we thought of him or her. So, that is what you say: "I am so sorry to hear that your mom died."Next, we want our friend to know that we care. So, that is what you say: "f there is anything at all that I can do for you or the family, you will ask me, won't you?"Most people want to empathize with how painful this is for their friend. So, go ahead and say it: "I am sure you are really hurting OR this is just the hardest thing OR I know it's going to be tough going on without your mom's love to support you."When we have known the person well enough -- say in this case, your friend's mom had you over for dinner countless times or treated you like you were a part of the family -- we say something about how important they were to us. So, go ahead and say it: "I just loved your mom. She had such a wicked sense of humour. I am really going to miss her."Lastly, avoid platitudes. They are as empty as the thought that went into them. No, never, not at all say thing like these: I'm sure she's in a better place or she is at peace now or at least the suffering is over. further, the only appropriate occasion to mention anything religious or spiritual is when you attended the same church or shared the same faith. If not, stay off the subject.In short, the most important things to say are the simple, heartfelt things. Trust me. Those are the words that mean everything.It is nice that you want to be thoughtful about this. You must be a kind and caring person.
My friend thinks she is a model but the "agency" she is with only steals her money and produces slutty pics!
Print out a little bit "research" from RESPECTED sites. They all say that you shouldn't have to pay to model!! THEY WILL PAY YOU IF THEY ARE LEGIT! Suggest that you look at portfolio's on-line together of famous model's, and she will have to see the difference her pictures make compared to "real models" Also, be a "REAL" friend and tell her the truth, she stands a real chance of getting hurt bad by this agency, the hurt you deliver will at least be in HER BEST INTEREST!! DO THE RIGHT THING! BE A FRIEND! You have taken the first step by asking for advice, now take teh second step, that will more them likely strengthen your relationship and find the BEST WAY to tell her!! Good luck to you & your friend!!
What would you do if your best friend copied you new haircut right down to the red color? What would you do or say?
If my best friend copied my new haircut and color exactly, I would do the following:Sincerely congratulate my friend on their spectacular new haircut and color.Suggest we take a ton of selfies together to show off our mirror image haircut and color.Post our selfies on Instagram or similar.Encourage my best friend to buy matching outfits including shoes and accessories.I would suggest my friend and I go out together to a fun venue dressed exactly alike. Maybe I would suggest a cool new club or another exciting venue.Ask my friend to recruit a few more other friends to get the same haircut and color so we could start a cool new social group. If the cut is a bob, we might start the Red Bobbettes or similar.Create a new Twitter and/or Facebook page focused just on our haircuts and color.Do a joint YouTube channel all about our haircuts and color.Create a new signature drink designed to describe our new haircuts.Throw a special party built completely around our new haircuts and hair color. Instead of wearing costumes, the party attendees would be encouraged to wear wigs like our haircuts and color.Would I be angry, upset or horrified? No, no and no.I would actually be excited since my friend would open the door to lots of fun times playing with our new haircuts and styles.I’m sure I could come up with lots more out-of-the-box ideas for celebrating my best friend’s identical haircut and color.Happiness is a state of mind. I can either choose to have fun with my friend’s mirror image haircut and color or I can be upset about it.I would choose to be happy and enjoy a brand new experience with my best friend.Best wishes to all.DISCLAIMER: I neither sell nor promote any companies, their products, nor do I have any online shopping outlet of my own to promote.

What to say to a friend who's father has cancer?
I have lived with cancer now for six years, having received a very negative diagnosis and given a few months to live. I liked people being practical rather then too emotional, ie; I will take your daughter to nursery school, pick up shopping if you need me too etc (I particularly enjoyed all the cakes people baked and baskets of fruit.) Let your friend know you are there for her and will do what ever you can to help. I found that my best friends were not much good when I was really in need whether because they could not cope (we were all mums of pre schoolers), or because I was no longer able to do things with and for them. Friends I would not have rated so highly pulled out all the stops and helped me and my family through it all. I still need and get help from time to time, but am often well enough now to take my share of school pick ups, play dates etc. Wish your friend and her family well, and be there in the background so she knows you are there is she needs you.......... Good luck to you all
