Helena clearly has some issues! 

For this blog, you must act as a guidance counsellor for Helena.  What advice would you give her in regards to her issue?  Explain.

  1. If I were Helena’s guidance counsellor, the advice that I would give her is that she shouldn’t be so easy, because people will take advantage of her, like Demetrius did, and she will just be used as an object, which again Demetrius used her for. And I would say that she should just let it go, he told her that he didn’t like her, and she won’t let go, so I think she should because it’s not worth it and she will find someone else who’s better than him. 

    If i was Helena's guidance counsellor I would tell her that she needs to be happy with who she is. If Demetrious doesn't like her then she needs to be herself. Its like nobody knows who her personality is. If she stops fallowing Demetrious maybe he will like her better. People like people for who they are. If she just tries to be herself someone might like her better. Eventually Demetrious might give up on Hermia so Helena could have a chance.

    Personally, I think Helena should try to ignore Demetrius. Obviously, you like him. However he doesn't like you back. Maybe he's going to like you one day. But these are not the days he's going to like you. Helena should have more confidence in herself. It kind of seems she acts more desperate than she is. Firsts things first. Get over him. Clearly, you love him but he doesn't like you. Emphasize doesn't like you. Try to branch out and make more friends and get more connections. There are probably a bunch of guys that likes Helena as who she is. She's just a tiny teensy bit in fantasy land over Demetrius. Maybe when she's going to block out Demetrius she will realize that everything isn't as it seems. That Demetrius isn't the most important thing in the world. If he doesn't want you to give him affection direct your love to someone else. Find someone better and someone who actually likes you for you. Also, maybe Demetrius doesn’t like you for a reason, maybe he would like you more if you were yourself. You’ve got 2 choices. Well, basically the choices that I’m trying to help you with. Either become true to yourself and act as if Demetrius is the worst thing alive. Or you could act as if you are way more confident. Then you’ll probably become use to being yourself. Ignore Demetrius and just direct your attention to other people (try making him jealous).

    If I was Helena's guidance counsellor I would tell that she might need to give up stop begging Demetrius and just be herself. Maybe if she is just herself she could find a better person then Demitrius. I would also tell that maybe Demitrius might give up on Hermia. He might then love her. What she is doing right now is just bothering him and making him not like her even more.

  5. If I were Helena's guidance counsellor, my advice to her would be, to just be herself. If Demitrius doesn't like her for herself, that's his problem. She shouldn't be someone else just to impress a boy. I would also mention that even though she isn't like Hermia, doesn't mean she isn't special. Helena thinks that nobody cares about her which is why she has a low self esteem. She has to stop trying to change who she really is and be herself. I'll tell her that Demitrius isn't worth it and that she should look for someone who really likes her instead of someone who just uses her.

    1. I totally agree with you. She should just be herself. If Demitrius still does not want her then, she should not be with him. She needs develop a better self-esteem. Good Job.

    2. I agree as well. She shouldn't change herself just to impress a boy.

  6. Helena needs to give up on Demetrius. He's never going to love her back. The more Helena tries to get him to love her, the more he doesn't love her, but the more Demetrius fights back the more she'll love him. If you ask me, it's really hard to come up with a solution for that there's almost no solution. I think Helena needs to back off and understand that Demetrius simply doesn't like her, and never will. Unless the magic flower works

  7. So if I were Helena’s guidance consoler I would tell her to give up on Demetrius. She is doing crazy things to win his heart like give up her best friends secret and run into the enchanted forest whit him when he’s threatening to kill her. And Demetrius obviously does not like her. She should go back to Athens and look for a man that will loves her back. I would also tell her to be much more confident. I would tell her that she’s beautiful and not to let anyone pushed her around. If she were still crazy enough to love Demetrius I would just tell her to get the flower “love-in-idless” from Oberon and sprinkle it on him.

    1. Good advice Jacob, especially about being more confident. It's definitely what Helena needs.

  8. If I were Helena's guidance counselor, I would tell her to just drop Demetrius and find someone else. It is so obvious that Demetrius does not want to be with Helena, he even says straight to her face that he hates her and is thretening to kill her when they go to the forest and he would bury her body and no one would find out. It is supposed to be the guy chasing the girl not the other way around. So she really needs to think straight because he hates her more by the minute and somehow, makes her love him more. So in my opinion, she really needs to get a grip on this situation because it's not going to happen

  10. If I were Helena's guidance counselor, I would tell her that she should not be using Hermia and Lysander as a way to get Demetrius to like her. She should learn to accept that fact that Demetrius doesn't like her and that he likes Hermia instead. She shouldn't be disappointed that Demetrius doesn't like her for herself and she shouldn't try to change herself. She also shouldn't be betraying Hermia like that just so that she could get Demetrius to like her. I think she should just forget about Demetrius and be herself again.

    Dear Helena,
    I have been selected as your guidance counselor and the first think I would like for you to know is STOP being so desperate for Demetrius. You are better than that. By following him where evey he goes , always acting all weird when he is there will not make Demetrius love you! It will make him find you annoying, creepy and definitely lifeless. So step one stop being so desperate for him. Step two is if he doesn’t like you than leave him alone . You will find someone better than him who will actually love you. Or he will try marrying Hermia but he will not be able to (because true love never fails) and he will have to come back for you or he has no one else. So just wait and see. I think that is it I have to tell you but don’t forget stop being so weird and be yourself and life will go on no matter what so just because you don’t marry Demetrius it will not make your life stop or something.

    Bye,
    Madurra.S

  12. If I were Helena's guidance counselor I would tell her to keep some space between her and Demetrius he might like you if you back off and leave him alone for once in your life. I would also tell her that some actually likes you why don't you go out with him. She doesn't have a life and she wants a guy she is desperate but now she has someone but it isn't Demetrius it's Lysander. But happens if she does start to like Lysander than her and Hermia would never talk again. Hermia would hate Helena so much but Helena doesn't have a life so I don't think she would care. I would tell her this, when you are young friends always come first.

  13. If I were Helena's guidance counsellor, I would tell her the following:

    The first thing I would tell her is to boost her self confidence. She should realize that she is unique and doesn't need anyone else to make her think or feel this way. I think that things should play out naturally without being forced, therefore I would tell her not to run after Demetrius. I would tell her to be a be less close minded and more open minded about things.

    I think that these would be some very good strategies for Helena.

  14. If was a guidance counselor and Helena came to me with her problem this is what I would tell her: Helena, so what I can tell from what you told me is that you is that you have low self esteem. It isn't helping that you are chasing a man that only sees you as an object. To start the process of having a higher self esteem you have to stop chasing Demetrius. Now I know your going to think it'll ruin your life but it will actually make it better. Next you have to stop wanting to be someone else and start appreciating who you are. Then if your willing you can fiend friends and/or a companion that is good to you. That will treat you with respect and equality. They can't just see you as an object because your a living being and you have the right to be treated the way you want to be treated. If you ever need anything else come see me.

  15. If I was Helena's guidance counselor I would say that she needs to forget about Demetrius and move on to someone else. She needs to boost her self-esteem and find someone else. Demetrius is treating Helena badly and even though she likes it when he does it it is still not nice. Clearly Demetrius is not interested in her and never will be. I'm sure Helena can find someone else who is better and treats her better.

  16. If I was Helena’s guidance counselor I would tell her this: Helena, the first thing you need to do is stop being so obsessed with Demetrius, if he does not like you than you must respect that. You need to move on and find somebody different. Demetrius clearly is not interested in you and the more you follow him the more he is going to treat you poorly. Demetrius is in love with Hermia not you, sorry to tell you this but it is the truth and you need to move on from him.

  17. VANESSA GENTILE the guidance counselor:

    Why don't you have any self-confident's, you need to let go of Demetrius. Don't try to hard for ANYONE (even if you love them as much as you loved Demetrius). Let HIM chase after you.I mean, he obviously doesn't want you if he doesn't try for you. Helena, GET OVER YOUR JEALOUSY! Well what I'm try to say is, look for someone else.

  18. If I were Helena's guidance counsellor, I would tell her : MOVE ON !!! She needs to stop obsessing about Demetrius. She needs to get on with her life or he will get really angry and take it out on her. Now that's one of the options. Another suggestion would be to stop stalking him and start talking to him. Try and become good friends with him. You need to act interested in his life so that he believes you are more interested in his life than your own. Then eventually he will ask about your life and then after you will keep chatting about many different things and really become close friends.

  19. If I were Helena's guidance counsellor I would tell her to be more confident. To help her be more confident I would tell her to lose Demetrius. To also get her mind of Demetrius I would recommend meeting someone new. I would also recommend that she should tell people how she wants to be treated. If she doesn't want to leave Demetrius instead of following just talk to him. Maybe trying talking about something they have in common. If she ever brakes up with Demetrius she can meet other people or just hang out with her best friend Hermia.

  20. I am totally on your side for what you said, that she does not need a guy to make her feel beautiful.So true. Also good advice!

  21. If I was Helena's guidance counselor I would tell her to stop being so insecure. Just because one guy doesn't like her doesn't mean nobody does. There is somebody out there that will like her for who she is. I would also tell her to get over Demetrius. He has made it clear that he doesn't love Helena and she shouldn't make herself feel worse about it. Finally I would tell Helena to stop trying to mess with Hermia and Lysander's lives. If she has to go through some big plan to make Demetrius love her than it isn't real love.

  22. It’s pretty obvious Helena lacks some self-confidence, so if I was her guidance counsellor I would try to boost it. Like I would tell her that she’s unique and special. I would also tell her that she shouldn’t let people treat her the way they are. Next, we would try to fix her problems with Demetrius. I would tell her that she shouldn’t be chasing after him, because the more she does that the more he dislikes her. Also to talk to him and maybe find something in common, so Demetrius will start getting interested in her. I’ll also tell her to try to start being friends first. So they can be more comfortable with each other. Hopefully this would work and everything would be all better! Capria Y

  23. If I were Helena's guidance counsellor, I would tell her two things. First, I would mention to her that she should be a little less easy. Demetruis or anyone could take advantage of that and use her as an object which girls shouldn't be treated as. Secondly, I would convince her to boost her self-confidence. She likes Demetrius, but he likes Hermia. This is lowering her confidence because she thinks that know likes her, when it's true. I would tell her to forget about the fact that the person she admires doesn't like her back. She shouldn't let love change herself. I would keep trying to make her happy, and maybe also talk to Demetrius and tell him to try talking to her once again.

  24. Helena, you have a problem. You need to develop a better self-esteem. If I were your guidance counselor I would tell you to be true to herself. Yes, I know you love Demitrius but he loves Hermia. I would also say, you need to be more confident in herself. You should stop chasing after Demitrius because you are so young. My last tip of advice is enjoy life and live it to the fullest. He also doesn’t like you. You need to stop, relax and take my advice.

  25. If I was Helena's guidance counselor, I would ask the following question. “Why are you in love with a man who hates you, does not want to see you, and has abused you?” It does not make sense. If she came in seeking for help, I would tell her that someone who hates her and has half-ruined her life is not necessary for her. He is not special at all. He is in love with another woman so why should she bother him. If he loves her he will come to her. She should not be chasing him and she should not try to make him love her. She is wasting your time. He will not love her. Hence, stay away maybe once she leaves him he will understand how much she loved him. This is how I would conclude to Helena.

    I would listen to helena's story about Demetrius and what's going through her head than I ask "what is so good about him". The only reason I can think of is beacuse she lost her virginity to her or he's really good at sexual intercourse. I'd Try to explain to Helena that Demetrius is not a good guy nor is he interested, except for sex. If she doesn't listen( which she probaly won't) I than bring her to see a physiologist because she's crazy, obssesed, stalker that falls in love with jerks.

    If I were Helena's guidance counselor I would tell her that Demetrius is not the right guy for her because she is too good for him and that if he doesn't like her he's crazy! I would also explain to her that guys need their alone time and that if she gave him space maybe he'll respect her more and not just think of her as an object. Maybe if I'm feeling extra crazy that day I would give her my secret stash of love-in-idleness to put on Demetrius' eyes.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I would tell her that she should not think such bad things of her self and that she should not marry Demetrius. I think that if she keeps thinking the same way about herself that she's not going to end up with anyone. She shouldn't marry Demetrius because he only love's her because of the love of idleness flower and that is not true love. In conclusion she is in quite a predicament.
