How can I stop my friend from going the wrong way?
I don’t think you can stop anybody from doing anything – at lest not for long. You can be there for your friend, you can offer help and advice, but that is it. They have to take that help/advice, they have to see they are going wrong, they have to change directon. By themselves, because the only person who can change a person is THAT person. Professional help (therapy) can be an answer, but only, if that friend of yours is willing to even see there is even a problem. The step itself still needs to be taken by them.
What to say to my friend who is going to a funeral?

What is going on with my friend?
Hello everybody. I also need help with my friend.Why is he acting this way?Ok, so I will start by saying that my friend is a very awkward person. He is somebody not so many people want to be around with, because he makes them feel uncomfortable and ashamed. Everytime we are in a certian public place he will start making weird faces and noises and sometimes he will use that "evil laugh", you know, that laugh from cartoons some evil villan uses. I think he uses it in certain situations because he thinks that is fun and interesting. But it actually is not, and I tell him that all the time. And he is usually uber awkward when we are alone. When there are no other people around, for example, we are at my place playing Uno, he makes those faces and noises for no reason. It is weird, I just do not understand how can he be so relaxed and so awkward at the same time when we are alone. I have to mention that he is very clumsy, his motor skills are very poor, he is short and chubby, and I do not want to sound superficial, but he is not that good looking. He has never had a gf before and unfortunetaly, I think he never will. Not just because of his looks but because of his personality. We have known each other for 5 years now. When I first met him he was "that awkward guy" but he was far away from this person he has become. And he is lying to me all the time which is the main problem in our relationship. I tell him I know when he is lying to me but he just won't admit it. Also, he copies every little thing i do, even my movements sometimes, which is making me very nervous. I just do not know what is going on in his head. I really do believe he has some sort of mental disorder and I do wanna help him but I just do not know how. One last thing. Few days ago he started to go to the gym with me in order to lose some weight. 3 days after his first day he tells me "Hey, i didn't tell you this, but i noticed my legs are way stronger then before and my wounds heal much faster because of the activity". I just did not know what to say, I felt so weird and i just smiled for a second. That is not normal!
Should I go to my friend's wedding?
Flip a coin, deciding what answer corresponds to what side.As that coin is coming down, you'll often find yourself cheering for one particular outcome. If this is the case, you have your answer - that is your heart's desire. If you don't have a particular choice, it's probably best if you just send a card and a gift - you're not really that interested in going. Another way it to investigate if there are other ways to cut costs. Couch surf, check with rental car companies to see if they need a vehicle driven back to the city where the wedding is going to be held, AirBnB, college dorm room rentals, supersale airline tickets, ride shares........leave no stone unturned. Lots of times, weddings are a lot of fun for the unattached.
My best friend is going through a break up. How do I help her through it?
Here are 5 stages of grief that people experience post any tragedy (Not necessarily all of them, and not in any particular order):DenialAngerBargainDepressionAcceptanceIt is normal for your friend to grieve over the cessation of her romantic relationship. I ain't no expert, but here's what I did last month when my best friend went through the emotional turnmoil of separation from her beloved.Here is what you should Do :Be near. I invited her over to my place for the weekend. Longing and solitude is a bad combination.Let her begin the talk. You don't know what stage of grief she is in currently so please don't compel her to “Talk about it”. That said, let her know you're near when she does feel like talking.Provide water and tissue box. Even when you might not feel like providing a crying shoulder, it is basic courtesy to provide water and tissues to a crying person.Comfort her. My friend punched me really bad when I offered to please her like her guy would, so wear your guard. No you don't have to cuddle. Just order her favorite food and drinks. Most people don't have the power to say NO to scrumptious Biriyani.Don't fake empathy. If a friend who's been single all her life says “I know how it feels terrible” the person would have no choice but to roll their eyes in despise. Be genuine, at all times.Watch movies. I did so becuase I could no longer hear her sob. Play some animated, light-hearted flick. Restrict watching romantic films, you know why.Here is what you should NOT DO:Don't hover around. A person going through a heartback needs alone time to contemplate the changes ahead. Don't force your company.Don't bring up the “guy” in conversation. If she initiates the talk, do be the good friend that you are and lend an ear.Don't say negative things about her ex to comfort her. Eliminate these phrases:“I always knew he was a Casanova”“It's better that it ended sooner”“We all knew that this day would come”The thing is she already knows all shortcomings of her ex way better than you ever will and still chose to love him irrevocably. Now to be polite, she might agree with you, but it would make her sad deep down.4. Don't stop her from stalking his profiles 53rd time, even though she says it the last. People always do what they want to do. You can't stop anyone.Go on, help your friend. Be the friend you'd like to be by your side during tough times.Source :Stage of Grief Models: Kubler-RossBunch of friends with tragic life experiences.
Do you say (I'm going to stay over my friend's house) or (I'm going to stay over at my friend's house)?
In American usage, at least among kids, "stay over" or "sleep over" are treated as a single verb and "over" doesn't act as a preposition. So an American would say "I'm going to sleep over at my friend's house" or "I'm going to stay over at my friend's house" The grammatical way to say it would be "spend the night at" or "sleep at" or "stay tonight at" without "over"

I hate going to my friends' house, how can i say no?
1. Always have a good excuse ready. Like you have to babysit, or you had plans to go to the mall with your mom, or you just don't feel well. 2. Always try to invite her somewhere before she gets a chance. Like make a thing that every last friday of the month, you go to the mall together, etc. 3. Avoid her invite. Like if she asks you to come over say, "Oh I really wanted to go to a movie that night, let's go to a movie." Eventually, she won't even ask you over because she has been dodged everytime, but you can remain friends.
Should I go with my friends for outing but I don't want to go?
First ask yourself why you don’t want to go.Is it the friend circle? Then probably you’ll end up being uncomfortable. Its fine if you skip. But what I’d advice is taking another friend along instead of opting out. You still have someone to hang out with and better still, you might discover new friendships.Is it that you don’t like the place? Chill. When the company is right, everything will be fun. If there’s a phobia involved, say of heights and they’re going rapelling or mountain climbing, go for it. Don’t think, just do it.Is it that you don’t like the activity that’s going to be involved? For instance, booze and hooking up that you want to stay away from. Just tell your friends that you don’t want to go.Honestly, me being an extrovert answering this question, I’ll tell you to go anyhow. But many are introverts and they don’t like crowds. I would never push an introvert friend of mine to go out partying with me. So, if you aren’t going to be uncomfortable, don’t force yourself to join. It’s cool.
Is it correct to say me and my friend are going to eat out?
In casual conversation this kind of thing happens a lot, even though it is strictly not grammatical. Leif Sundblad’s answer is right on. Things get more strict when you write, though.Some prescriptive types would complain about ending a sentence with “out”, too. I don’t follow that rule though, even in formal writing.
