Feelings & wellbeing

A friend seems sad for a long time, withdrawn or hopeless.

What is it?

Sometimes what is wrong isn't in the body but in the feelings. A friend who is usually lively suddenly goes quiet for weeks. You don't have to fix everything; being the first to notice is enough.

Common examples

  • A close friend suddenly avoids everyone
  • Often absent from school for no reason
  • Not eating at break time for days
  • Talking as if they have given up

Signs to watch for

Loses interest in things they used to enjoy

Cries easily or gets angry quickly

Marks drop suddenly
