i am a 15 yera old girl and i think i need counseling?
Question:
I am 15 years old, and i honestly think that i need a counselor. It is not just that i think i need one. i want one. I have been acting differently lately, i have been pushing people away. My parents have ALOT of problems. My father used to be a herione addict, and because of all of this i can not get attached to people. I am afraid of getting to close to people. I am so worried about what people think of me, I dont even know what i like anymore. Does anyone know any counselers that can help me near wanaque new jersey. Oh one other thing. i NEVER stand up for myself. i let people walk all over me. I tryed standing up for myself once. I told my friend i would not do her homework for her, and she would not talk to me. I need to learn how to stand up for myself. Oh and people are so used to me not standing up for myself they take advantage of me. even my best friends.
Answers:
Wow sweetie sounds like you need someone to talk to. I would recommend seeing a therapist. I started when I was 16... just to chat with someone. Get someone's perspective on things ya know? I think you have a lot of self-exploration to do and a therapist would help. Start off with your school's therapist and then see where they guide you. I totally understand and I think you should be very proud of yourself that you are taking the steps to a healthier you!!! I think that's majorly standing up for yourself!!!!
Go to your school and see if there is a counsellor there. if there is talk to them and they may help you or tell you of another counsellor in the are. you need to change you friends you are hanging out with because they dont really sound like friends at all.
