Honestly, your friends can't always give you the best advice; sometimes all they can be is a shoulder to cry on. Even then, they can only do that if you let them.
I'm the person that one friend in particular comes to for advice (not that they ever listen to me at all) and all I can do is try my best to help them out sometimes. I mean, when you don't talk to me for two weeks (one was Spring Break and we don't share any classes so I don't blame her for that) then just cam up and tell me something shocking, what do you expect me to do??? How am I supposed to react to you telling me you were high all day at school because you found your brother's ADD pills and your mother's Vicoden and decided to take some just to see what would happen??? I honestly want to tell you that you are on the fast track to disaster; these people you hang out with now are all bad influences and you can do so much better. How am I supposed to make you realize that people who do drugs and have sex in school bathrooms aren't normal or cool. What do I say when I all I really want to do is slap you over the head and demand you stop?!?
The truth of the is, I can't help everyone, and neither can anybody else. Maybe if I had been in that situation I could help but all I can do is give the best advice I can come up with. Maybe sit down, talk it out and help you make a plan. Maybe you don't even want my advice in the first place.
I used to think when people told me things like this, it was a cry for help but maybe they just want attention; most of the people I know who ask me for advice these days really seem like that's all their out to get. Then again, I could be wrong, but one thing is for sure no matter what people say they HAVE to let you help them. If they don't even listen to what you say, perhaps you don't need to be sharing it.

P.S. Wow, that was harsh! Sorry if I brought any of y'all down, I just had to get that off my chest. Thanks for listening ;)
