Hi logan
Your friend is a lucky guy to have a friend like you who cares about him!
It does sound like things are not going well for him in some way, and he could do with some help.
However, it is very difficult to help someone who doesn't see that there is any problem!
Have you got a counsellor at your school? (I'm assuming you and your friend are at the same school). Maybe you could go talk to them about it, or to a teacher whom you respect.
Apart from that, the best you can do is to let your friend know that you do care, and that if he wants to talk about anything, you will listen.
You don't have to accept being hurt, though. Don't put yourself in position where he can hurt you, and tell him that hurting you or anyone is unacceptable.
Let us know how it goes.
