I need inspiration?
rite now i need help to inspire her that she can make more of her life. she's 16 and half and i keep reminding her that she will be moving out soon and be on her own.
Answer:
Going to a professional is excellent advice, but it is not always successful with all types of people.
Your friend is very lucky to have YOU! You could be her best source of healing. Let her know that she is not alone, let her know that you are always there for her and that you think life w/out her would be really empty. Maybe you could talk to your folks about this. If she is in a dangerous situation, maybe she could stay w/ you and your fam for a while. If she is just experiencing "normal" teenage troubles, then just give her lots of hugs and let her know that she is not alone. In reality, there really is probably someone worse off than her, not that that's a good thing, but help her to see her good things in life. I'm sure she has something since she has a friend like you sticking by her side. Maybe she's a good listener, artistic, scholarly, athletic, funny- remind her of those little things that you love about her!
Good luck and take care!
uhm, im sorry toinform you but i believe you need help.
how about a psycologist PROMPTLY!
Your friend has to want to believe in herself before anybody can help her. What you should do is to raise her self esteem. Compliment her, make her feel good about herself. This way she knows she has a reason to live. When a persons environment is entirely harsh, it can take only one person to change it all around. I think that's you my friend. You're a great friend :)
She needs to go to a counselor, you do not have the training to help her. She also needs to go to a psychiatrist.
BTDT with my daughter when she was 17, she had the same problem. I took her to a counselor and she sent her to the hospital. She was in a adolescent psych ward and they totally helped her and she came out in a week a changed person. Just in time to finish her last year of school. Depression is a serious problem.
Professionals help more than you can imagine.
GET THE HELP BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE !
Find out what insurance her family has and call them to find out what professionals they will pay for. This is a medical problem and the insurance should pay if you call and ask them.
What's her problem? Is she being sexually abused and physically beaten? Is she in extreme poverty and has no money for clothing or food?
If not, then it's probably teenage hormones and it'll pass. Tell her to write Oprah. She had a really bad childhood too. The best thing is to KNOW that her adult hood will be MUCH better. Tell her to keep saying that every day like crazy.
It is sweet that you want to help your friend. You need to get help yourself in order to help her though. Try calling a suicide prevention hot line A.S.A.P. for professional guidance. I would hate for you to assume full responsibility alone for what choices your friend makes-get help please.
are you a christian. if yes, great! use what you learn there to live life. if no, it would be good to find a church that you like. there are very good people there and they often have programs to talk to someone.
