Friend of a Friend - March 17th 2010, 08:43 PM

So basically, my friend has a friend. Her friend is bi. I've come out to the world as being gay. I really want to talk to her friend, because she is dealign with being bi as well as severe depression, but she's refusing help from ANYONE. I've dealt with both of these things a lot, but she won't let me talk to her or help her. Is there anything i can do to try and get through to her?


Hey, I'm Jonah. I like Degrassi, writing, and hanging out with friends. I'm sixteen years old and I am FTM transgender, although these days I identify more as just plain male.
I just wrote up a huge thing about the significance of my username, just to find out it was too long. So if you're curious about it, feel free to ask me.
I used to go on here a lot, but lately I don't go on very much at all. Either way, you should still leave me a message some time, I'm very friendly

All you can really do if she does not want help since you can not force it is to let her know that you are there for her should she change her mind.

Since you're dealing with issues about being gay, you might break the ice by saying it would help you to talk about it some with her.


What just happened?

Just try striking a casual conversation.
Then slowly bring up you're/you've been in the same situation.
And you'd like to help if possible.

Got a question? I might just have an answer. Feel free to PM me.

As much as I know you want to, you can't force her to accept your help. Make sure that she knows that she'll always have a shoulder to cry on, someone to talk to, or whatever she needs in you - and without judgement. And then my advice would be to leave it at that - don't press the topic any further; let her make the next move, but keep in touch with her, make sure she's still doing alright.

I agree 100% with this, you cant push this situation as it may just tip her over the edge. Let her know that you understand, and are willing to help - and then take a step back and see if she comes to you.

I also like the idea of you maybe finding someway that she could 'help' you - so that way she doesn't feel like the 'silly' person for asking for help.


I'm still alive.
Must have been a miracle
It's been one hell of a ride
Destination still unkown
It's a fact of life: If you make one wrong move with a gun to your head
You better walk the line or you'll be left for dead.


I'm a runaway train on a broken track
I'm the ticker on the bomb that you can't turn back
Thats right.
I got away with it all and I'm still alive.
Let the end of the world come tumbling down.
I'll be the last man standing on the ground
As long as hot blood runs through my veins
I'm still alive.
