How to convince my friend not to drink?
well...my friend started drinking i think around 5th or 6th grade...supposidly she took some shots, and i quote "fell asleep"...which is a load of bull...since it was her first time, i think she passed out or something...she had a few more drinking experiences, then stopped...around 7th grade, she took half a pill of E but said she stopped, and probably did...now she's 14, its christmas break..and she said she drank with her friends on christmas..and on new years..ive been to her b-day party, and her parrents, her brothers, etc. al get drunk..and i think that is why she does too, they always throw parties, just for fun, and her parrents and brothers again, all get drunk...i told her to stop, showed her articles of what can happen if she gets drunk, told her scenarios of what could happen if she gets drunk (get taken advantage of...if you know what i mean...since guys do find her attractive) ive tried to talk her out of it, she refuses, she does not admit she has a problem..i believe she does not, but i feel she will have a problem...very soon... my problem is...she was my ex girlfriend, she broke my heart, and while we were dating i convinced her to stop, and she did...now she likes some other guy, and we dont talk, and stoped talking or about 3 months, we started talking a few days ago, and thats it, and when she told me...i feel as if i should put aside our differances, and convince her to stop...but at the same time i feel as if i should just let her be..and if she wants to drink, then let her drink...what would you HONESTLY do? a little back ground info: dated for a year, very very close, 10 days after broke up, went out with a guy i hated, after broke up with him, started liking another guy, was gonna try to date him, i told her to wait, and she did...idk y.. under those conditions..what would you HONESTLY do? btw, she says she only gets buzzed, and not drunk..i say its the same crap
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 friend that she's not fat?
Ther are some things I like to know before answering.Is she really a fat person or just a girl who thinks like she became fat recently? ( you know, she won't even looks like she became overweight but your friend will always over think about it)If she's a fat person, please don't try to force her to change in any sort of ways. Don't tell her to try some heavy diets, advising to hit a gym and workout for her rest of her life. That won't work at all. Because we don't have any kinds of rights or power to control ssomeone and real Friends don't do that type of things.EVER!But you can make her feel like she's worthy and beautiful enough to be the way she is. Trust me, we boys don't give a Damn about girls being fat if we truly love them (I'm talking about majority of the men, but yeah there are some dumbs who criticize and judge others for their appearance)And if she isn't really Fat but keep saying that she became fat, then must help to to realize the real situation. (Fight her even if you want :), we all do that, right? )The reality is, no one Cares about over weight these days. Even if you're slim as a stick, there will be always someone to judge you and makes comments about your appearance. We can't throw stones at all dogs that bark at us, right?So support your friends like you always do. Good luck!
How can I convince my friend that she is not stupid?
It sounds like your friend is in a place of really negative self-talk. Unfortunately, when someone is in that place, the “no you’re not!” dance can, in an odd way, reinforce their negativity. If she truly believes that she’s stupid, contradicting her when she says so may be making her feel like she has to double down on proving it to you, or like you’re just being nice.What you can do, though, is refuse to let her put herself down in front of you. When she starts talking about herself negatively, gently say to her, “Hey, I don’t let people talk about my friends that way. I love you and I think you’re wonderful/talented at
How do I convince my friend she IS beautiful?
I know what it feels like to always be convinced that you're ugly, to never be satisfied when people tell you otherwise. The thing is, she'll probably never be totally satisfied until she gets over her low self esteem. You can tell her that she's beautiful however many times you like, and guys can tell her so, too, but it's all up to how she sees herself. I would suggest telling her, "Well, you're the prettiest girl I know, and I don't think you should worry about yourself." That's a simple way to tell her: "LOOK IN THE MIRROR, YOU'RE GORGEOUS!" :) If she wants to change anything about her appearance, I would say that she should get front bangs - sorry for the weird picture, but this is what I thought of - http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn240/lemon-star/Mitchie--.jpg like this...
How do i convince my friend not to have sex? shes 15 and going to be a sophomore in high school....?
Tell her she'll regret it not only possibly physically, but emotionally as well. Theres the obvious things. STDs and pregnancy. But theres also the emotional aspect. When shes done, if it's just a random guy she'll feel bad-it's a real emotional thing. And if it's a boyfriend, it will cause complications in the relationship and if they break up, she'll be devastated. You can only give your virginity once, and if you wait until marriage, it's the best gift you can give. Plus, God wants her to wait ;)
How do I convince my best friend to not love me?
I don't think one of the involved having a crush on the other necessarily needs to make friendship impossible or awkward. I've been on both sides of that table; I've had unrequited crushes on friend, and I've had friends with unrequited crushes on me. I think a key requirement for that to be possible is that you accept 100% that you're going to be friends and nothing more. In other words you need to accepte reality for what it is. Staying a friend in the hope that it'll become something more is NOT a good idea and does NOT tend to end well.You can talk to him about it. Explain that you do have a crush on him, but that you understand and accept that it's not a mutual thing. Random crushes that aren't fed tend to die out by themselves after a while anyway.
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.
