Dear Rocky, 

I hope this message finds you well! I need some advice on what I should do to help one of my friends. She just broke up with her boyfriend and she is already talking to multiple guys. I keep trying to tell her that she needs to take a little bit of a break but she won’t listen and she is getting a little bit mad at me. How should I tell her that she doesn’t need boys in her life? 

Sincerely, 

Worried About Friends

Dear Worried About Friends, 

I absolutely love that you care about your friends! Unfortunately, you can’t dictate what she does with her life. 

Though it’s sad to watch the people you love going down a slippery slope. You can’t always influence them to the way you think. 

If you really wanted her to stop, I would sit her down and have a one-on-one chat with her to really speak your mind about your feelings about the situation. 

If she doesn’t take you seriously or she won’t listen to you. I would go on with your life as best as you can. 

If after a while it still bothers you I would maybe consider either having another chat or distancing yourself a little. 

To care about someone is such a beautiful thing but don’t forget to put yourself first and foremost. 

With Love, 

Rocky
