I am a wife and a mother of three grown sons. I live in New York and am an equestrian. Most of my free time is spent riding and caring for my horses now that my sons are out of the house.

I give down to earth advice, as I tell it like I see it...and I've seen alot.

i really want my best friend to get into a steady relationship. how can i help her? she really wants to but she has never seen a steady relationship other than me and my boyfriend which we are fifteen and she planned our wedding and already made invitations.. were not getting married anyyyytime soon. she doesnt even know who her dad is and each of her siblings is from a different dad. we go to a school that either half the people are rich in mansions and half are country kids. me n her are neither, and its a school of all white kids and shes the only black person so she makes so many black jokes, yet she is very outgoing dramatic and the loudest and the most independant person iv ever met, in a good way, were there for eachother no matter what since we both go through so much. she only dates black guys n keeps asking me to find her a guy but i cant at all, she goes out with someone n uses them and breaks up within a few days. she really wants a good relationship but what can i do to help her im out of ideas? and none of this is supposed to sound racist so if it is im so sorry i dont mean to (link)
She's kind of young at 15, or thereabouts, to need a steady relationship. There's more to life than that. She should get involved in organizations and/or clubs, churches, etc., that offer something that she is interested in. Any hobby that she might have, whether it's dancing, history, cooking, anything. Doesn't matter. If she joins an organization with like minded people, she will automatically meet many people who could potentially turn into a future relationship. The best relationships come when two people share a common interest. Then there are volunteer organizations. Habitat for Humanity, Equine organizations that help handicapped children learn to ride horses, Gardening clubs, the list goes on and on. She needs the will to get involved.
