Proper communication is the key. Initiate a heart to heart talk, try to find out the reason why your friend is being negative, she/he may also be going through a rough time that you don't know of. If you think your friend won't be changing his/her negative behaviour, staying away or limiting your exposure to negative people will help you protect your mental and emoitional well being.

The first thing you do is to ask your friend what's the reason behind those negativity. Maybe she/he has a reason.

I would tell her that i felt hurt that she was always being negative and ask her to talk about it with me.

Maybe one of the best things to do is talk to her about it and tell her how you feel and that the negativity she is displaying is bringing you down.

Ask your friend to meet you somewhere quiet and where you two are alone. Sit her or him down and talk though everything that happaned. Make sure to include that you don't like the way you're being treated by her or him. Make sure you keep a normal voice in this situation. raising our voice will cause many more problems then it solves.

Always be willing to talk to people if you feel there is a conflict. It may be that you're perceiving them wrong. If it's not, then there's a chance you can talk to them and clear up any negative feelings they may have against you.

Rather than focusing in the negative, focus on the positive. If they are being negative and it bothers you then block it with something positive. It doesn't even have to be related to what they are being negative about, just something positive can make it better.

First all of them help them see the postive side. Second don't make it worse by preaching them or lecture them. If they hurt you then you must speak up and not ignore that will get them more negative.

First of all, sorry to hear about that; it can be hard to deal with negativity regardless, but more so when it is coming from a friend. But as with what to do about it, the best course of action would probably be just to talk to them about it, tell them how you feel, and make sure they fully understand you and you also understand them and their feelings. They may not especially understand that they make you feel this way.
