Best Friend and Professional Help
Well, one of my best friends started seeing our school's guidance counselor because her boyfriend was in the hospital but now he's better than ever but she still eats lunch with her at least once a week. I love it because she gets alot out of it, whether she realizes it or not. Today they told her the names of a few places that are professional help (she's jsut had alot of experiences that have really messed her up, but don't think the wrong way about her). I know it will do her good and she'll be back on her feet in no time, but she doesn't want to go. Is there anything I can do or say that will convince her that it will be good for her?

Well you can just tell her that she has been doing excellent in guidance cosuling. And that you have seen her changing all the way through. And that you would like if she does go to the perfessional help but you don' have to go.

I know you take a lot of concern in your best friend's life but you can't push or force her to do this.
What you can do is let her know that ever since she's been into guidance counseling, she's been doing better and you notice it a lot. You can try encouraging her that this professional help could make things better for her and that you truly just want her to be happy no matter what choice she makes.
I think that if your friend was in trouble again, she'd admit it and get back into counseling and then she might consider the furher help. Besides, I think that you should be the supporter, her parents or guardians have to be the ones that try convincing her to do this. That way she won't feel like your her mom, you are her friend.

I understand your her friend and you care, just don't infer that she needs help. Just say something like, "That sounds like a good idea." or something that would give her encouragement. You can also say that she seems well after the school therapy, so she could always give it a shot. If she's still saying "no", don't push her, people don't like being told they need help. Hope this helps.
