Wise advice for
parents, counselors and teachers:
to help you discover what you
feel,
not to make the feelings go
away.
to help you identify your
options,
not to decide for you what you
want to do.
to discuss steps with you,
not take the steps for you.
to help you discover your own
strength,
not to rescue you and leave you
still vulnerable.
to help you learn to
choose,
not to make it unnecessary for you
to make difficult choices.
to provide support for change.
