Hi there Embo, that doesn't sound like any fun at all :( I think your friend is frustrated - as you say, with her learning, but hormones might also be messing with her moods. It sounds like you're a great friend - so the best thing to do is talk to her honestly - tell her you don't know what to do when she's in a bad mood, ask her how you can help when she's feeling down or frustrated - and to please not to slap you (that's not okay). Maybe ask if she wants to come over and you can study together? Getting her outside the school environment could help her feel less stress. She's lucky she has a great friend like you! LGx
