Give her the confidence she needs to boost her self esteem up again and in time her self esteem will grow again. Her are a couple of links you can read that will help you know what to do and say to help her.

Stick by her side, and stick up for her when she needs it.

Tell her how special she is. Little things like that

Encourage her to be herself and dont say anything that could upset her

penta agony auntThe two of you should get involved in something that she's good at (preferably something that she's better than you are or where your). Anything -- a choir, a sport, a club.

Being active in something you are good at is a good way to build self esteem. Good luck.

M_M4ever agony auntJust be there for her. Dont do too many jokes about stuff cause that doesnt help. Take her out some place and just hang out. When you say things like she is pretty mean it in your expression too. Girls can tell when i guy isnt true about something they have said.

Good luck to your friend

and Best wishes in you trying to help her

kenny agony auntUltimately be there for her, tell her things that will boost her confidence and self esteem amd make her feel good about herself.

Arrange a day out somewhere like a theme park or something to help take her mind off things, somewhere where you can have alot of fun and laugh alot.

Good luck xx
