One of my good friends has been having a hard time lately. His names andrew, and hes kinda an emotionaly person. He just doesnt let it show. Hes a junior, and I'm a soph. (trying to get out all information.) I've been talking to our mutual friend, Ryan and we (me and ryan) think we need to talk to him about it. Hes sad because of many things, but he doesnt really like telling us because he doesnt want to seem emotional. Anyways, recently hes been liking an 8th grader (i didnt agree with it, but not my deal) anyways, her father told her to stop talking to him because he was too old, and then she told her sister that andrew was freaking her out anyways. (or something like that) He says he wants to talk with us, but puts it off. And to add on top of that his sister just moved and his dad is barely home.
I know people are just gonna say this is none of my buisness, but when he talks about it with me it is my business.  Me and Ryan are two of his best friends, I know that. But I dont know how to get him to talk to us... Blah, I guess this is more of a rant or something but yeah.

If he comes to you, he comes to you.  People deal with different things different ways, forcing a talk on him might make things more strained when he needs someone most.

If you feel its really important then when the three of you are hanging out, bring it up...ask him if there is anything he needs to talk about ...if he says no just let him know that you care about him and when he is ready to talk you will be ready to listen.

Hey girl

What you are doing is really good. I'm sure you are concerned and you want to help him but sometimes if people don't want to open up you can't force them. I would advise you to talk to him once and let him know that you are there for him and that you want to help him and see what he does. You can't force him to open up, just show him that when he's ready you are there. Support him and show interest but don't force him!

Good Luck!
