and there is a girl sitting diagonal from me crying. I have had a class of two with her but I don't know if I should say anything. Would you?

A good "What's wrong" might work. I can't help but do that if someone's around me crying. People who cry in public are usually looking for someone to help comfort them. Most probably don't care if it's a stranger.

She seems to be trying to hold it together though. I am not sure if she wants me to notice that she is upset.

"Shutup! I'm trying to work here!"

I'd have to say something, personally. I'd probably lead with "hey, you going to be okay?," and follow with "if you need to talk...".

"Here's some tissues."

Or of course you could create a disturbance so odd and captivating that she would forget all about whatever is upsetting her and pay attention to the drama.

Or if you know her name you could e-mail her a link to this thread.
(Yes, I'd say soemthing, the suggestions so far are all good.)

Okay, except that one. Posted by Noemon (Member # 1115) on :
So, Allegra, how did you handle it?
Posted by breyerchic04 (Member # 6423) on :
if you did a thing rush or pizzo would have yelled at you for talking. I hope it worked out, since school's been over about an hour I'm sure it did at least a bit.

I'd've used my old standby (good for crying students): "You okay?"
