How Do I Convince My Friend That Sex Is Not the Answer to Her Problems?

Question by Belle: How do I convince my friend that sex is not the answer to her problems?
She has decided to lose her virginity. She has been depressed for a while, over her situation in life, and I think she’s looking for a temporary fix to her problems like sexual pleasure.
I think it will only leave her feeling empty and alone in the end, as one does with any addiction. I feel that a sex dependency will probably be just as bad for her, as is a drug or alcohol dependency.
Can you offer me some advice to convince her otherwise? Any way I can show her that there are other alternatives to improving the quality of her life? Please let me know if there’s anything that can help her feel better. Thanks. =)

ur right, it’s a good thing she’s not pulling u along w/ her.
But umm.. if ur in skool, lyk highskool or w/e, u could try && encourage a RIGHT start program thing, just saying that u think it would be good 4 the students. my class went thru right start and it talks all about the problems ur friend is dealing w/ but doesn’t realize it. Maybe it would inspire her 2 change.
