My friend needs help

Check these out, too...

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.

MODMODMODMOD! I've been bullied since Monday and it's already started to affect me. Before it was just words. It hurt, but I survived. Then it got physical today. It's to the point where the nasty things these guys say, make me want to transfer schools. What do I do? Reporting to an adult doesn't work. My school sucks with that. How do I seriously fix it without others being involved?

Hey chica, I'm super busy right now trying to answer all you guys! Hit up some of your gal pals on here like facebooker1240 for help! I'm sure they'll be willing to lend a helping hand!

MOD
A close guy friend of mine recently told me that his girlfriend wants to have sex with him, but he does not feel ready. She is a forceful girl and may not take his feelings into consideration, but I know he still likes her. What can I do to help him avoid getting hurt or have something even more tragic transpire?

Tell him to talk to her about how he feels and if she doesn't respect his feelings, he may have to find someone else who will.

MODMODMOD!
I feel like my best friend always lies. It just feels like half she says just doesn't seem legit. And I have that feeling. What should I do?

Hey girl, why not prod her a bit to see if you can get a better sense of the truth from her. Your intuition may be on to something, but try to stick to the mentality she's innocent until proven guilty.

hey! tell your friend that councelling is for anyone who neesd it. tell her that you love her, and don't like to see her upset and confused like she might be. i tried that with a friend in a similar situation, and she totally listened to me!
