Geez. Mom's sending me to a counselor?

make sure its a licensed therapist... a lot of those counselors are crap and tell you that they wont tell anything that is said but have no real obligation to so they go straight to the parents... but therapist help a lot even if you think you dont need one... they listen give you opinions but ones that let you figure out things on your own... usually its based on what you bring up to talk about and it goes from there... if you dont trust them tell your mom to find you another one... its your life your secrets make sure you like and trust them.
