Who can you go to?
Who do you go to for advice?

Once Abouna mentioned something very remarkable, When a person in the world is in trouble, what is the first thing he should do?...... And the answer is to dial 9 11, right!!!
The same thing are for Christians, when they are in need of any thing, whether to know an answer to a question or need an advice to solve a problem, is to go to God.
Actually to dial 911, which is the first verse in Psalm 91
“ He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High, will abides in the shadow of the Almighty,”
Thanks for sharing that Safaa :D

I talk to my psychology professors... because they are licensed psychologists... and I talk to them for free ;D
That's definitely the awesomest on the list. Wow, I'm going to be an english major and I just said awesomest.
However, if u need advice or feedback you should go to someone older, wiser, more knowledgable than you are....Abouna once gave an analogy...."A blind person, cannnot lead another blind person".
i understand...
I would still go to my father of confession, tell him that u dont think he's taking that "something" seriously and im sure he would sit with u and try to work things out. If not, i would go to someone who is older then u or should i say wiser then u. Let me tell u why, in the Bible when solomon's son (i think) was going to rule, he went and ask the "elders" and they told him to say to the ppl of isreal that he would be kinder to them then his father. Had he listened to that advice rather then the advice of the "youth" (friends his age) israel would not have divided.
Hope that helps Marmar
If he doesn't take something seriously, maybe it's a sign that I shouldn't too! Most probably, there's something wrong in what I think...does help to actually ask him....and may God bless...
umm...Sunday School teachers getting ,married and thus cannot be free for their children?! wow... ??? what are they teachers for then?? :( No idana intended...but I just wanna say to everyone that not all teachers are like that...many many are actually the opposite...just a comment.

There's this saying that our desert fathers taught us...I'll paraphrase it the best way I can....
"Obidience gave salvation to many without extra burdens..."
"Al-Ta'aa khlasat katheereen belaa ta'ab"
Obidience to ur FOC is key ya Marina....look....I do NOT know, of course, what this "something" is, but be sure that if ur FOC tells you something...it's for your own good....I know the medicine may be very bitter in taste and in initial effect...but in the end...this migh just be your medicine...
Do not let satan tell you the consequences of telling your parents...depend on the LORD and see how He works...you'll be suprised, really...but whatever you do...do NOT get blindsided by Satan....
May God bless.....
