How do i convince my parents to let me move in with my friend?
Christina, you do have options, but you need to make sure you've covered the basics. You sound mature, so hopefully what I'm saying will get through! If your friend's parents will let you stay with them, has this been discussed in detail? It's great that they said this, but what about the finances? Who will pay for your food, school supplies, books, medical care, phone, etc? Are you close to your friend's mom? I'm asking because if she is serious about this, I think your best course of action is to bring it to a head BEFORE your parents move away. If they want out of town, they're going to be easier to persuade because they won't want to rock the boat. An investigation by CPS is the last thing they want right now and you can use this as a weapon. But talk to the friend's mom and see if she's willing to help you in this. You do have to know if their comment was just a casual type "sure you can stay" vs a more permanent arrangement. Then you, along with her parents, need to tell your parents that CPS will be called in if they don't agree, and also provide some kind of financial help, at least until you're 16 and can get some kind of job.. Please don't run away, however. You need to have somewhere to go, because you WILL get caught, and then you'll lose any say in what happens to you. So if your friend's parents aren't prepared for taking you on for an extended period of time, then don't panic. Try to think of someone else. But you need to be talking to adults you trust.
How can i convince my parents to let me dog sit my friend's dog?
Would you be staying at your friends' place or at home. I can see why your dad doesn't want you to be alone at your friend's home. Maybe the reason why he doesn't want you to is because the complex doesn't allow pets. In which case . . . I'd go on my own to the rental office and ask them if it's okay. Tell them your mom said yes, but your dad said no and you want to hear it's okay with them. The other thing may be your dad is afraid the dog will destroy your apartment. Bring it up on your own with an answer.
How can I convince my friend to care more about other people's feelings
Your friend may be blunt and just not care about the consequences.Your best bet is to respond with directness and a calm demeanor. The next time she says something very blunt and critical about you or a mutual friend, feel free to point out, without getting angry at her, that what she said was overly harsh and hurt the feelings of whoever she was talking about.She’ll either dismiss it and not care or be puzzled that it did so and try to explain why it wasn’t meant that way.Keep in mind that a group of friends and family may be able to get through to her better than just one friend on his/her own. It may take many people reminding her of her rough edges on a regular basis before she gets the message and changes her ways. If she really, truly doesn’t understand what she is doing wrong, she might indeed have Asperger’s or a personality disorder, which you can read about online.Talk amongst your mutual friends about this to come up with a unified front to try to get her alter her actions if you really want her to stop doing this.Food for thought: Total unvarnished honesty is very rare in even the best of friends, so keep in mind that while talking to her might be like brushing up against a hot sun at times, she can still be an invaluable bright light shining on truths that you and others may not want to face, but should.

How can i convince my friend not to run away?
You have to have a serious talk with your friend. She needs to understand that IF she runs away, she may never run again. Not only is it dangerous, but "running away" doesn't solve anything. Ask her if she wants to get raped, murdered, or forced into prostitution. They're all likely to happen. Also, ask her how running away will BENEFIT her situation...she most likely will not come up with a good enough answer. If all else fails, tell her parents, a teacher, or responsible adult. DO NOT keep it a secret (do you want her blood on your hands?) She will most likely "hate" you for awhile, but eventually, she'll grow up and realize you saved her life.
How do I convince my best friend to love me?
You know you can’t force someone to love you, right? You can’t convince them with arguments. There are no magic words that can change someone’s mind to love you after you say them. You know that, right? Do you also know that you cannot convince someone, persuade someone, or talk someone into “getting over” an ex? Your friend will “get over” her ex… when she does. There is no set time period for this to happen. No magic date when suddenly it all seems better. It takes as long as it takes. Neither you nor she have any control over how long the process is.You seem to be in a hurry about “getting” your best friend to love you. Love doesn’t happen like that! If she truly said that she may change her mind about you if you can convince her otherwise — then time is on your side. Stop trying to hurry the process. Show her you care. Not by getting physical, but by being a gentleman, by listening, by being considerate.This is the long, slow process to winning over someone’s heart. Be consistent over time in how you show her how much you care. Do not try to speed the process up, and do not try to convince her to “get over” her ex. If you can reign in your impatience and if after time you are still convinced she is the one for you, you may well be on your way to convincing her, also.
How do I convince my friends that I'm not anorexic?
Think of the situation in your friend’s shoes. They’re really worried about your eating habits, but you keep pushing them away, telling them that you’re not hungry, when they barely know how much you eat. Don’t you think it worries them? Your friends aren’t your enemies. They’re concerned about your well-being, and your daily intake.Talk to them, and explain why you skip lunch. Clearly explain to them what’s going on, and they’ll stop pestering you. They want you to eat because they care. It shows that they’re good friends, because A, they’re forcing you to get the proper nutrition you need, and B, you shouldn’t disregard that fact. Explain to your friends that you’d like to watch what you eat, and that you only occasionally skip lunch because of a certain reason. Contrary to the other answer, finding new friends isn’t easy, and it’s pretty obvious that the friends you have care about you. I would advise you to be thankful that they care about you, and address your concerns with them as soon as possible.There’s a reason they want you to eat. Maybe it’s because they’ve seen a loved pass away due to anorexia or a similar eating disorder. They probably don’t want that to happen to you. Think about that.So my final advice for you would be to talk to your friends about your eating habits, and give them the real reason behind it. If you do, they’ll support your decision, stop bothering you, and they won’t think you’re Anorexic if you skip 1 MEAL. If you continuously skip a meal or starve yourself, it will raise suspicions.Good luck, and try to open up to your friends. They obviously care about you.For your decreased appetite, I would advise you to talk to your doctor. The fact that you don’t feel like eating is a concern, and you should discuss this with your physician.Hope this helps!-Priyanka

How can i convince my friend to take better care of herself?
True friends apreciate honesty, I know I'm that close with my best friend if this same situation arose I could just bring it straight up with her, I would let her know I was worried, discuss that she needs to take better care of herself and let her know that she's my best friend, I love her, support her and that I was their to help no matter what! I also am that comfortable with my best friend that if she had to tell me something like this, I would appreciate the fact that she was honest with me and I would let her know everything/anything that was bothering me! Goodluck, in my opinion be upfront and honest xxx
How do I convince my friend to stop doing cocaine?
Its a terrible thing and the LAST thing you want to be is in codependent relationship with a cocaine addict or ANY addict for that matter. THEY have to decide to get off the stuff themselves FOR themselves. Sure you can get them to get help or rehab BUT unless they do it for them, they’ll go right back to it. The best but hardest thing to do is to stop being around them. Tell them how you feel and that you can’t be around them anymore. In order for them to realize they have a problem, they have to hit bottom and lose their friends. If you stay you make them think everything is okay and that they don’t have a problem. You can care, but do so from afar. Don’t let them suck you back in.I personally have experienced this first hand with a friend of mine. I had to learn this the hard way and let them go for not only their sake, but for my own. I wanted to help and I tried to convince them too, it was all denial and anger etc. They had been to rehab 7 times with the last time costing $28k in a fancy rehab. They relapsed after 88 days. They went because everyone else wanted them to go but they weren’t ready yet because they hadn’t hit bottom first. Once you hit bottom, the only way out is UP. They are doing well now. I think the believe somehow I betrayed them for leaving still but although I kind of lost a friend, it was the absolute best thing for me to do.
