My friend is on anti-depressants and sleeping pills. She is fourteen in a few weeks. Is there anything I can do to help her?

This question is a bit vague, I've been on sleeping pills after having jet lag. Try to just act natural around your friend

I agree. We can have antidepressants and sleeping pills for lots of things. ^^
For exemple, I take antidepressants for my headaches. It's strange but efficient.

Quite vague about the situation so need to explain more. If she is having trouble with depression just being there for her is the best thing you can. Someone she can feel she can talk to and maybe turn to for a chat to helpe cheer her up and that. I can't really stress this enough but don't put any pressure on her as really won't help at all.

She is depressed. She can't sleep as a result. I just want to help her.

Well, it sounds like she's fine. Anti-depressants and sleeping pills are supposed to help.
As the others have said, you were a bit vague, in your post.
Honestly, it sounds like she's fine.:)

But the thing is, shes one of those people who hides all her feelings all the time. Shes just like me. Feels bad all the time and never shows.

Well, then comfort her, and let her know she can tell you anything, that's on her mind.
Make her feel comfortable around you, and then, she might open up to you.

If you feel that something is wrong then just talk to her about it. Ask her how she's feeling and maybe to bring up the subject ask how she slept. Talk to her alone and tell her if she needs someone she can talk to you. That's all you can do, be there for her and comfort her if she asks you to. Don't change around her, that's the worst thing you can do, act as you normally would. If you open up to her she might start feeling more comfortable around you and then decide to talk to you about things on her mind. Don't push her though.
She must have told you something for you to know about the sleeping pills and anti-depressants. How did that conversation come about?

I thought she looked sad, so I asked. She said she hadn't been sleeping, and her doc had put her on new antidepresants and sleeping pills. I knew about the antidepressants from earlier in the year.

So keep doing that, I'm sure she appreciated someone caring enough to ask the question. Ask how she's been feeling and how things are going. If she's cold with you don't give up on her, she's probably just uncomfortable, ask her when you next see her. If she never says anything then maybe that's a sign to leave her alone but being there for her is the best thing you can do.
