Her parents are in a custody battle. She failed a test and her mom got mad at her.
Her mom didn't even show up to her birthday party. Her crush loves the girl she can't stand.
I wish someone would just tell her how amazing she is. She won't believe me."

Skyler, I can hear your hurt. What a wonderful friend you must be to this girl! You've reached out to her and helped share her pain. Keep doing that. You might just save a life.
In the meantime, you need to let her accept herself. No matter how many times people tell her she's amazing, only three things can help her realize the truth:
First, knowing that Jesus died on the cross for her.
Second, seeing people act in a way that values and respects her.
And third, her allowing herself to accept herself.
She's the only one who can control her belief. But in the meantime, you're doing a good job as the friend she needs to get through this in her life right now.
