I have a friend who is so down on herself all of the time. I try to offer her advice and encourage her to be happy, but she says she HATES life. That worries me. Her family has a history of depression and I think that that is probably what she has as well.
I asked her to get help because I really don't know what else to do for her other than listen. She says she doesn't want to go to a professional because it's expensive and she doesn't want to burden her parents. I told her that if they hear that she wants help, they will not care about the money. I also told her to go to a school counselor because it's free and they are trained for these kinds of things. Now she's pretending everything is fine. She won't talk to me. I don't know what else to do.

Hi Penguingirl,
