I am a 20 year old female, and I am a great listener. My friends always come to me for advice, and you can too. Ask me whatever you want, I will be happy to try to help you with ANY problem or dilemna. I will do my best to give you a great answer. Whatever you ask, I will never judge or make fun of you - I will be honest and respectful with you, telling you my advice with a kind and rational answer. I have traveled all over, had many unique opportunities and experiences, and have great friends from many different places all over the world. All the traveling has taught me a lot about different kinds of people and I have gained a lot of insight and perspective throughout it all. I'd like to think that some of what I have learned will be helpful to other people, and that I can offer advice that takes into account all that I have come across in my 20 years, both from my experiences and the experiences of those around me. I was also an elite athlete, so I have some experience in fitness/training/health questions as well. Thanks for visiting my column! Have a fantastic day!!

okay this question is for my friend who can't ask it so i am doing it for her. well her best friend just recently died at age 12. and she wants to go to her funeral and wants me to go with her but her mom won't let her go because its during school and she thinks she will get all emotional but she really wants to go so she can say bye and she wants me to go with her so she has a shoulder to cry on if she needs one. does anyone know how she can get her mom to change her mind and let her go to her best friends funeral? please help.

Okay, it is really important for your friend to get to this funeral. It is an important part of the grieving process, and she should really be there. Her mom needs to understand how hard this is for her, and to let her go. Holding her back from the funeral is only going to make her grief worse, I think she should at least be allowed to attend and say goodbye. Explain the situation to your parents, and ask them if they could talk to your friends parents. If her mom doesn't want to drive her, maybe your parents could drive you both there. As for having to miss school, it is really irrelevant, this is much more important. I hope this helped, good luck. Give your friend a hug from me, I'm sorry to hear about her best friend's death. It's too bad she had to go at such a young age, that must be very hard to lose a friend so young. Hang in there, and do your best to be supportive for your friend during this sad and emotional time. Feel free to leave me a message if you ever need to talk.

well now it's too late for her to go because she got offline last night and didn't get back on and neither did i. thanks for this advice though. i'm sure that it would have worked had she been able to talk to her mom. ♥haleigh
