Counciling


Question Posted Friday March 11 2005, 4:23 pm

My parents are making me go back to counciling again! UGH! NO. I went before and the counciler was USELESS and i'm going back to the same one. I hate going, councilers are POINTLESS especially when you don't want help and I honestly think there is nothing she can do. My parents are making me go because I fight with them too much and I'm not as perfect as my brother and they hate that and me. Yeah, well, now i have to go back and I have to miss social studies every Thursday. People WILL catch on. Theyll ask me where ive been, like before when i used to go, and I don't kno what to tell them! i cant say i had a dr's appintmet, EVERY THURSDAY. Plus, i'm going to end up failing that class! i havea C already, so if i miss class it'll just get worse. MY MOM TOLD ME THAT IM GOING BACK IN FRONT OF KIDS AT MY SCHOOL AND MY TEACHER. WHat a bitch.
how can I prove to my parents that she doesn't do jackshit and its a waste of money?

Here are three things that could help
1Try to not fight as much. If they say somethin that makes you want to scream at them walk into another room.
2Talk to your mom calmly and tell her that counsling didn't help last time and you'd rather try to stop by yourself.
3If your mom is gonna make you no matter what ask her to find a different counsler and a different time to go like after school.
Hope I helped!

If your friends ask you, just tell them that it is a personal issue and you don't want to talk about it.

As for your counselor, tell your parents that you don't need a counselor. Parents and kids fight all the time. That shouldn't mean that you need a counselor that tells you how to live your life.

Most of the time parents do have the best intentions in mind when it comes to helping out their kids... they are human and are still learning about life just like you. Unfornately sometimes their mistakes are at the risk of psychologically wounding their children without them even realizing it. I think you should personally seek someone out (preferably and adult) that you trust and tell them your story. An adult has more leverage to bargaining with your parents if that's what needs to be done. I'd let the counselor know at school you feel that your parents are forcing something on you that you don't feel is what you need ... perhaps the counselor will try to get help for your parents in better dealing with their issues so in turn they can better relate to you!

I know things may seem tough right now and unfornately you don't have a lot of bargaining power with your parents ... you just keep on striving to do what you like, what you feel good about (as long as it's moral) and your parent's will turn around ... maybe not today, or tommorrow, but someday! I promise! Until then surround yourself with people who love you, friends other family members or pets ...Also your parents more than likely love you to bits and pieces and we all go through moments where we don't see eye to eye. Just keep this in mind next time you have a run on with them.

Hope this helped,
alyssa

Ok, first of all, calm down. And second, why won't you tell people where you REALLY are? Theres nothing to be ashamed of when seeing a counselor, and I think that maybe you should be positive about it, because if you just act up about it, and be negative, then it WILL become a waste of money, you have to be willing to fix things, and you aren't because you don't believe she can help. Your parents are not trying to be mean to you, maybe they care about getting along with their daughter. Please, don't make this hard on yourself, the counselor, and your parents, and you should tell yor counselor that your social studies grade is suffering because of it, and she'll try to work things out. But, you don't want to keep calling your mom a bitch do you? Trust me, don't let your parents lose you.
