Q: My friend is a suicidal massicist. She cuts her wrists. She was molested when she was younger. She also does drugs and gets drunk a lot and likes it. Her mom is suicidal and her dad is a pot head. She went to a therapist before but stopped because he was annoying and cost too much. I think her life is taking a large turn down into a huge pile of shit, but I don't know how to help her. She is insecure, clingy but outspoken and is willing to fight anyone who makes fun of her, and that is admirable. She is also bisexual which has caused other probs. Can I do anything?
I don't want to say no, but basically... no. I'd look out for yourself. Talk to a school councelor, they're free, about your options, because someone like this can really bring you down with them. Being molested as a child is something that basically ruins the rest of your life, your friend needs years of serious therapy and if she think's that's annoying, you won't be able to help her. Sorry this isn't very comforting. I feel bad for your friend and I'm sure you do to, but there's only so much we as normal people can do.

Thanks, Spacefem- I was afraid of that. I'm not sure I want to be involved anyway, it seems best not to be.

I've been in the advice column over five years now so I think I've pretty much heard it all... the love, the hate, the random insanity. I don't take it too seriously, so I'm not always giving the best advice, but my column is fun to read!

I am a 23 year old electrical engineer, a feminist, a Christian. I don't know everything but I can sure pretend to.

Disclaimer: Now that I'm on advicenators I'm getting even more questions every day. It's fast and easy for me to answer them, yes, so at least I'm answering something now, but if your question contains the words "there's this guy that I like..." chances are I won't get around to it. I'm only answering interesting questions that I haven't answered before. Register at the site and ask everyone for advice if you must have an answer, because if people read my column and boring love advice was all they found, they'd never come back.
