Being Girl : Your Mind : Friendship

What do you do if your friend's parents are divorcing?

While there is not much you can do, ensure that you are there for her. Be patient if it's all she talks about, and let her get tearful - divorce rocks a family's foundations and may leave her feeling deeply insecure. Encourage her to work through her frustrations, and try not to cast either parent as the enemy. Perhaps tell a trusted teacher so they can make some concessions as far as studies and homework go.
