How to Help Friends..
Posted: 12-13-05 02:59am

In my group of friends at school all seem to be depressed and resort to cutting, what should I do? My one friend has hiv and is constantly breaking up with guy after guy. I try to help her but whatever I do or say she dosnt listen. Then theres my old friend from elementry who never use to cut until my friend with hiv did, she at first did it to show the other girl how it dosnt do much but inflict more pain but for somereason she also started to do it.

All my friends think I have a perfect life just because I have a wounderful boyfriend. But having a great boyfriend isnt always going to make you 100% happy. I have problems to, like my familys divorce that kills me everyday even though it happend two years ago, but my one side of family hates the other now, its hard. I have problems to, I feel depressed to, but I found a way to make myself feel better and its not inflicting pain upon myself, I try to share this with my friends but they dont listen, how can I stop them!

I have the same problem. People around me are saying that I have the perfect life. They are closed in their world. With so much bad problems in life people do not want to listen to nobody. Especially some one that is telling you how to live your life.
They don`t know where their guilt starts and the bad luck stops.
The only way to help your friends is to stop give advices and start just listen to their problems. Be the only good thing in their life and wait for them to see that you are as sad as they are sometimes. Patience is the answer. You will see that is very hard to make a difference. But as long as you have one person that you could tell how you fill you will make it.
Sorry for my bad english and take care.

A person is only responsible to the depth of his soul!

Don`t forget to concentrate to your life!!! Best regards
