Where do we go from here Part 2

[TimR]

So not too sure what to do... Talked to S and he refuses to do counselling. I do not want to upset him anymore than he is now and I do not want to him to think there is something wrong with him. So I began talking to him about talking with someone. I explained to everyone needs to talk to someone sometimes. He told me he has me and I am the only one he wants to talk to. So I tried a different tact and told him it does not mean that he is weak. That guys like us can break a toe or a finger and just keep going. We can get knocks to the head, sprained arms or legs bruised ribs and just keep competing. But for guys like us, when our hearts hurt we need to get it out and talk to someone. Just like if we break our arm we go to a doctor, if our heart is hurting us we also need to go to a doctor. He kept saying he does not want to talk to anyone else except me and I am good enough to talk or maybe a close friend. I told him "buddy I don't have all the answers, that's why I pay a lot of money to go to talk to people." And he just kept refusing. Please don't make me talk to them. I told him it might make him feel better and still nope. I asked if he would do it for me, and he replied I has me to talk to. I even warned that his teachers may notice how he is hurting and refer him without me saying anything. He kept saying he wont talk to them. I told him I would not say anything to the school if you do not want me too, because you need to trust me. And I left it at that but I really need to talk to him somemore.
