Answer 1

The actions you should avoid are:

1. Leave him alone to work it out.
2. Tell him how concerned you are about him; you’ll probably embarrass him.

It's important to engage and support your friend rather than leaving him alone or dismissing your concerns for his feelings. Listening carefully and informing a trusted adult are both appropriate actions in this situation.
