I am a counsellor. The tough part is getting in door. If you're harming yourself, then realizing that something is wrong, and not letting it defeat you is important. Now is the time to protect your future. So good job beginning the process of taking out the garbage that's been piling up. Give whoever you chose a few times to earn your trust. You feeling safe is the critical issue. Ask about confidentiality limits. The best part about seeing a counsellor is they have a way of seeing over your obsticles and safely guiding you. Think of it as a big log across your path. You just need some help clearing the way so you can get on with the path your life was meant to take. If you have choice and it's not someone chosen for you by social services, then meet a couple and decide. My experience is that a cognitive behavioural therapist may be most benefical. Look for someone with experience dealing with youth. Good luck.

well, im not actually an alderman (another name for city councilman), just student advisor to my local city council, but i do work with them frequently.  basically, their job is to be informed of everything thats happening in their city.  whether its new economic development, the budget, lawsuits, issues in the police or fire departments, sewers, water, streets, zoning (like residential, business, etc), and the list could go on and on.  they are required to come to all of the regular meetings unless theres a vacation or emergency or something, and are requested to come to a whole host of other meetings (whether its committee meetings or commission meetings, depends on your town).  they also have to be able to listen to the consituents in their ward or precinct and hear what they have to say, and then make an informed decision from there.  its usually just part time, with a small stipend.   i could go on and on with this, since ive been student advisor for 9 months now.  if you need any more information, just send me a message.

First and foremost, congratulations on your position.  You have already influenced someone as your election shows.\n\nI think you need to sit down and think about what the President of the Council's duties should be and how you will be able to fit them.  Then mold those ideas into an oratory to present at the meeting. \n\nI assume you have knowledge of what the council has been looking at recently as far as issues.  Maybe it is a good time to reach out to the other members just to hear their opinions.   Part of leadership is giving others the freedom to express themselves.  You may learn something new, or at least find some allies along the way.\n\nGood luck to you.  Let us know how you did.

you don't want to contact the mayor, you need to contact the police.  If they can't do anything, then call the Zoning Enforcement Officer and ask if there is a noise ordinance on the books.  If not, write the mayor or the town council and stress how important it is for a town to have a noise ordinance.  Go to town meetings to push your cause during oral petitions.  and see what you can do.

Prevention is your best policy.  If you can talk (peacefully) with the potentially irritated party before a petition can be circulated.  Explain that you like parties, but if there is a problem here is your phone number, and feel free to call.  If you really mean what you say, they will be more than likely to think of you in good neighbor terms, instead of the pain in the rear you think you might be.

Start by attending city council meetings and talking to your elected and appointed city officials. Ask questions, but don't be surprised if answers are lacking. Eventually, as I did, you may want to run for office. If elected, don't be afraid to stand up for what is right, no matter how much pressure is brought against you. We need courageous men and women to reform government from the local level on up!

Send them an anonymous letter. Warn them that they must stop. Make it sound official, or pose as some deapartment head doing an audit and ask pertinent questions. Pick up a gov't envelope from someone. One third of our population works for gov't, so you should know someone who would help.

Noisy wheel gets the grease.  In other words, let your representative know your feelings on issues that affect your community and government will be more responsive to your needs.\n\nMany people complain, but will not bother to contact anyone.  Your elected representatives are not psychic and cannot read your mind.  Contact them and let them know how you feel.

I'm sorry to hear of your predicament.  One good thing is that your landlord cannot immediately evict you.  Contact different assistance providers in your area, including the government.  Good luck to you.

Who gave the advice? I would seek legal advice, a solicitor can sort it for you or get some free advice from a bureau or advice surgery to see if it is possible for you do it yourself with the cost of a solicitor

Contact the highways, planning and environment departments of your local council...if you don't get any joy from them then go to your local paper...
