i would say like this;

In
times
of
difficulties,
Don't
ever
say...

"GOD,
i have
a big
problem.."
But
instead,

"Hey problem,
i have
a big
GOD.."

i wish your optimism was as simple as that, but since you posted about this you likely have problems telling your friend this.
most of the time, the best natural way to solve this if he or she is rejecting your advice is to let them hit rock-bottem and comfort them from there on out till they get better.
but in your case you likely want to prevent this from happening first
but of course if it is simply too big for a few find gestures to fix, your going to have to rly on some thrid party help.
of course my advice is only to generalize your statement it would be best to get some friends that know the person to help out rather than ask people on the net

he do u wanna help?... or u can do this on ur own...

and stay by this person side till everything cools down

am kindda person who cant stay still while someone in a problem i try hard to help'em solve

kinda depends on the problem and the friend dosent it

i'd attempt to help them no matter who they are but it'd probly do no good

you dont need to do much, just keep being their friend.

just be there to listen ..

Go solve it.

It will depends on the situation. I usually give advices to my friends, and it's usually not anything big, but if it something big, can you really fix it?

If i can help, i will try 2 help.. if cant, i juz let em cool down on their own..

"dont worry. everyone dies"

hehehe maybe..."keep of the grass"
