WAYS to cheer him up
ANY idea of what is wrong with him
DISSCUS!

Maybe it's something personal that he doesn't want to talk about? That's always possible.

You can get some ideas to cheer him up from this thread right here:

Thanks. ^^ <3

Yea I thought of that but, its the fact that he's upset and has been for weeks it upsets me! x

Give it time. People can't always be happy. Everyone's aloud to have an off day. I have them all the time yet I manage to get back to my happy self. Just give him some space and let him work things out.

give him space. maybe he needs it.
let him tell you whats bothering him if he wants to tell you, or when he's ready to tell you. I mean, if you say what's bothering you, that normally makes you feel better.
if he doesn't wanna spill just tell him that you'll be there for him :]

It depends on what type of person he is -- is he the type that opens up easily or prefers to keep to himself? If you really want to help him, let him come to you for help, in his own time, when he's ready to tell you what's been bothering him. Otherwise, all you're doing would be to shut him down more, and you'll never get out any information.

Give him time and just be there to talk whenever he needs it. He can't always be happy.. if you give him time and just be friendly he may decide it's not worth it to be depressed all the time and realize he hasn't really been all there at all. He'll come to you if he needs to talk it out... until then all you can do is be supportive.

• It's probably something super personal y'know? I mean, talking things out with friends or other trusted people can make you feel better. But there's some stuff I can't even tell my best friends because I either think they won't understand or I just feel like it's one of those things you should keep to yourself.
  
  It could be something like that. I don't really know. But hopefully, things've gotten better since then. 'Cause this thread is pretty old >___<.
  
  Anyway, just being a nice person and giving him his space when he asks for it should be good enough in my opinion. And if he ever wanted to talk, I hope you were there to listen :]

A lot of users have already said to give him a bit of space and time. I agree. Not every problem can be fixed by someone else; the person has to do it sometimes.

Just be there for him as you normally are. If it continues to bother him, he'll open up when it's time. Try not to pressure him so much. It may only make him clam up more.

I'm sorry, I hope he feels better soon. Maybe just try talking to him again and if he doesn't want to talk about it, dont push it, it could be why he doesn't want to talk, but just let him know your here if he needs anything. :]

Be there for him, as in be available for him to talk to. But, don't pressure him into talking. Guys don't open up as freely as girls do and it takes time for them to trust someone enough to share that forbidden thing called emotions.

Do things with him, show him to care about him, be a friend. That's all you can do and when he's ready he'll talk or he'll be fine with whatever has been bothering him.

Hm, it's prolly a temporary thing.

Just give him time and he'll prolly get over whatever's bothering him.

And let him know that if he does ever feel like talking that you'll be there for him.
