help

You don't say how old your friend is but, if he's a minor, you need to talk to his parents about what's going on. It sounds like he's on a downward slide and there are only two things that can help you once you're out of control...forced intervention and yourself. He does need help but, if he's not willing to let you help him then you need to find someone else who can.

It will be hard to convince your friend to leave that girl, he already knows about her past and knows what his future will hold if continues to see her, yet he keeps hanging out with her. She seems to have a negative effect on his life, and the best thing for you to do is to step up. Tell his parents or ask other friends for help, because simply telling him that you are there for him will not be enough. He already knows you are there, and he probably won't come to talk to you until he has hit rock bottom. I am sry about your situation and i wish you the best of luck.

One cannot help those who do not want help.

I would offer them some good advice about keep getting help. I know when people have issues,consuling is the best bet I think. I know people need help in certain areas and I feel if it is out of your range than a professinal is what they need. I hope this helps you in someway, I would be there as much as you can but also realize that they might need more than you are able to offer too. happy mylotting and good luck to you and your friends.

it`s hard to help a boy that doesn`t want to be helped. I think that the best solution for now, it`s thouse 2, break up. They make a lot of wrong thing together. You said that he it`s so, just because her..Maybe that will work, but i know that you can`t break them up...

You could try to continue talking to him about it. I doubt that will much good because he obviously does not want to be helped. When a person is like that there is not much you can do except talk to someone who is able to help them. If he is a minor and you talk to his parents prepared to lose him as a friend at least for a bit, because I can tell you from experience they will not be happy about it. You may also try talking to the girl who is the source of the problem and try to convince her that it is not in her best interest to be with this guy. This approach will also most likely cause a rift between you and your friend though. Bottom line is though that if he doesnt want help, he isnt going to accept it willingly and to get him to accept it unwillingly could put a strain on the friendship. Hope this helps, and sorry my advice is not very uplifting.

It's hard to see friends going down the wrong path. I think you should write him a letter or get a card for him expressing your feelings. He needs to see where he is going wrong and until that happens your kinda stuck, but if you tell him and maybe other people who know you both can tell him then maybe he will see that he needs some kind of help with it.

Yes your friend is geniuely in problem and needs counselling.It is difficult to convince a person who does not need help .The girl is putting bad impression in his life and he is trapped in the vicious circle.The only thing you can do for him to let his parents know about everything so that they can control him.

Your friend is in a really hard spot because someone he loves doesn't find life worth living. He doesn't want to leave her because he loves her and at the same time, he may be tired of the girlfriends issues and not know how to deal with them. It sounds like there's a whole lot more going on that you may not be aware of. The best thing you can do for your friend is to be there no matter what. Be a listening ear and don't be judgmental. If he things you're going to judge him or his girlfriend, he may not be willing to let you in on what's really going on. Be there to listening; be a listening ear. Just don't make him feel like it was a mistake to come to you. One option you have is that if there's a crisis services in your area, you can try calling them. They may have some suggestions you didn't know exist.

I am really sorry for his situation but he shall take pshcologic support....
