| Dear Gabby: | I have a friend who has confided in me that her dad has been emotionally abusing her. He has also physically abused her. She also has a problem with cutting. she wants to talk to our youth pastor but is too scared to. It's been months and she still hasn't talked to him. I want to help her but I don't know how. I feel like I should tell someone but if I did she would never speak to me again. |

Answer: |
Dear Paula ... Have your friend check out this healing path: http://www.christianityoasis.com/TeenChristianCounseling/Forum.htm ....... This covers all of the topics you have shared. Praying with and for you both. |

| Dear Gabby: | Dear Gabby, I want my parents and I to have a better relationship but when I messed up big time and needed counseling they wouldn't let me and now I feel like I'm stuck and can't talk to my parents at all about anything. What should I do? |
|
Answer: |
Dear Joy ... We all "messed up big time" at times in our lives. Even your parents. Remember this when you approach your parents to talk. Do not allow pride to overcome you, but rather choose the path of humility and love. Peace is the path to choose. This too shall pass. Praying for understanding and healing. |

| Dear Gabby: | More than anything, I want to get closer to God. I also don't want to completely give up my social life. I talked to my dad about it, and he said to find a group of like-minded people. How can I find this? |
|
Answer: |
You can tell a tree by it's fruits. You can tell a soul by their words and deeds. Seek out those with fruits which reflect that which you hope to become. Pray to be able to discern those HE places in your path with HIS intent at heart. |
