ADVICE | FRIENDS | DEAR CAROL FRIENDS

My friend needs help

 
I have a friend who is in denial. She needs therapy, but she says counseling is for messed-up kids. We tell her she needs to talk to someone, but she says she is fine and tries to change the subject. How do I get her to talk?

 

Dear Friend in Denial,

Sometimes, girls write about friends who are sexually abused or pregnant or starving themselves or otherwise in dire straits; other times, they write about friends who are just living their lives their way. I don’t know whether yours in truly “in trouble” or is just grappling with adolescent angst, but I do know she needs true friends – not a group of people breathing down her neck. So be the caring person you are, and consider informing a trusted parent or teacher who can be objective about the situation.

MODMOD!! I'm worried about my friend! She tells me that her parents fight a lot and last year she told me she thinks her parents are going to get a divorce! She used to joke a lot about cutting herself and stabbing things but thankfully she doesn't anymore. Please help!

 

Hey! Just remember to be there for your friend. Listen and be a shoulder to cry on, and help her find counseling if she needs it. One place to go is here: http://www.girlslife.com/post/2008/08/04/HELP!2.aspx

Hey Hannibe, the only thing you can do is be there for her. Offer her advice and helping she needs it. Hope this helps! Xoxo



ModMod! I think my friend is pregnant! She is always talking about who will get pregnant in high school and how someone can get pregnant if toilet water with sperm splashes up there. And her stomach is getting larger. What should I do? Lynae P.

MODMODMODMOD!!!! I have been really stressed lately and I dont know what to do! One, my dad is deployed and two, my best friend just told me yesterday that she might be pregnant... I dont know how to deal with that. On top of that, I've been really crabby tongiht and i dont know why. I just dont know how to deal with all this. My friend has put a lot of stress on me lately....She has told me not to tell anyone about the stuff she does, but i broke and told my mom about her might being pregnant. I just cant deal with this any more!

 

Hey girl, I completely understand. I think you need to take a break from everyone. Tell all your friends and anyone else who come to you for advice, you need some time to yourself. I understand you want to help everyone, but you can't put your needs and life after other peoples. Take one day and treat yourself. Start with a hot bubble bath, get your hair and nails done, maybe go shopping or relax and watch some of your fave movies. I'm sure you'll feel better. Hope this helps! Smile Smile

I have a bad mouth bff. she is always saying bad words. she disrespects her grandma. I dont like it when she talks like this. i ask her to tone down her language but it never works. my other friend says she doesnt think she should talk that way. i dont know what i should do. should I just lay off and ignore it?
