When your best friends are upset, sad, or disappointed, all you want to do is lift their spirits. Here are some easy ways to cheer them up.
Help your friend clean their room.
Being surrounded by a mess doesn't do much for your mental state. Helping your friend tidy up their room gives you something productive to do together. Plus, when they're on their own, they can relax in a clean, peaceful space.
Encourage them to talk it out.
Talking is effective. Teenagers usually want someone to talk to when they are stressed. If they aren't interested in talking, invite them to do an activity with you and they will likely start talking.
Practice gratitude.
Thinking about and focusing on the good things in your life can do wonders for lifting your spirits. Help your friend turn their attention to those things.
Try new things together.
Staying active can help get depression (抑郁)away. Invite the person to join you in a dance class or anything else they may have mentioned before that they wanted to try out but never have. Fun time with friends is surely helpful.
Do an aimless act of kindness together.
So go out, do things, even small things (e.g. opening a door for someone, paying for someone's drink, smiling at and greeting a stranger. etc.), for others and see how your day changes.
