about

Hello All,
I am counsellor with over 12 years experience specializing in parenting, families, youth and mental health. I answer questions in a blunt and straightforward way so if you are looking for coddling or really touchy feely type advice thats not me I provide real solutions for your problems and concrete suggestions in other words I tell you the plain truth I don't sugarcoat.

I am really worried these days with the easy access to the internet and all the false information that is out there and the fact that people believe it!! So please ask first. I don't claim to have all the answers but I can claim that NOTHING will shock me you can try though :)

I look forward to hearing you thoughts and questions.

My friend went to college and basically failed out. I am really worried about his future. He has been out of college for a year. I think he should go to a community college at first to help him transition better, but I don't think he'll be up for it. How can I convince him to give college another shot [besides saying that he won't make any money]?

The first time I went to college I quit. I went back later though I just wasn't ready the first time. He may need to work for awhile and realize that there is no money for those with no education. He may need to find his own way as a friend you may need to let him, but when he starts to complain about how hard it is to make good money remind him that by getting an education he is increasing his income with every year he completes.
