I'm going through the same thing.  Stay strong.  Stick with your gut feel.  She very well may be a sociopath but that's entirely up to her to get professional help.  My therapist outright told my wife to get help.  My wife insists there's nothing wrong with her.

Just be there for her.  She is going to feel guilty and sad and angry all at the same time and really there is nothing you can say to help but just being there as a shoulder to cry on when she wants will be a help.  Don't try and cheer her up but at some point it will be good for her to talk to some professional counselor.  Don't push it be if she brings it up then encourage her gently.

That is an inappropriate boundary to cross with a counselor.  You should find a real in-person counselor.

Maybe go back to your guidance counsler and ask her what your alternatives are.  If you attend a church the priest/pastor might also be able to help you.  There has to be other alternatives for you out there.  Knowing that you may need help is the first step.. It sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders.  Keep it up and stay safe.

There are some good self help books out there.  And if that is not your cup of tea then I would suggest speaking to a counselor, they can usually help in that area.   That is not a shrink but someone there more as a life coach, should be in your local phone book.

There is DEFINITELY something wrong with her. I don't know if it's drugs, mental problems, personality disorder, or what. But something is going on... She's not right.

I have heard of this problem before. You need to sit her down and explain that maybe counseling would be a success to you. Often in your school there is free counseling and you can also see a professional out of that like a Therapist or Psychologist but your mother may not like that because they cost big $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$! Good luck and feel free to email me!

Only you and she can really know the answer to this question. Why don't you speak with her? Tell her what you'd like to be able to do and ask her why you are not allowed to help others, particularly if you are her "assistant"\n\nSigh. Thumb trolls strike again. My answer is a valid possible way to handle the situation. Talking with the teacher is a good way to try to resolve the issue.

You have to tell us more about this person, so that we can give you some more specific advice.\nSuch as his or her situation, etc?\n\nIf you live in US, go to this site, they have lots of useful information and also you can email to ask them where you can get to one of their counsellors.\nhttp://www.troubledwith.com/\n\nMy advice: (the following is for everyone, with or without emotional problems)\n*Show that you love and care about them, by both words and actions\n*Listen, respect and accept\n*Empathy, not sympathy\n\nThese three points are ARTS that even some professionist sometimes don't fully understand and able to apply. I am still understanding and practicing.

Listen, this is very serious. I'm a counselor, and your friend is in real danger of hurting herself. Take her very seriously. You are too young to handle  this. You need to talk to someone you trust, whether it be your parents or another adult. I'm sorry if I'm scaring you. There are counselors who can help her. There are suicide hot lines.Look in the phonebook. There should be a listing in the front under emergency services. The burden of this needs to be put in the hands of an adult. A part of what makes this serious is the Moms abuse issues. Your friend has probably been exposed to this all her life in some form or another. Who ever you choose to help, hopefully your parents, will talk to you, and guide you. Answer me back when you can. I'll look for your message. Use the heading, I found an adult to help. Good luck honey.

I don't know what kind of counseling you need, but I heard of a place for young people called go ask Alice.\nOR you could search on line and see what comes up?

Are you wanting to be a counselor? IF so, you should be a good listener and be able to resist the urge to offer advice. You should help the person come up with their own solutions. \nYou also need to have patience as it might take time for them to reach the same answers that you have come up with. Also you have to be nonjudgemental of others.

Sometimes...but then if you REALLY want to try to keep it together a counselor really helps...my sis and her husband went to one and they have resolved all their issues...there life is so great now!!  Communication is the key.
