 My guidance counselor when I was 15 wished I could come live with her, and I've wondered what she thought of my mother's crazy life (constant moving). I think my life would have been a lot better if I had gone to live with her! Basically, the only adult with any interest in me after my father died when I was 14. 
 Again, that proves their only role in your emotional life should be under extraordinary circumstances.  Even when I left home and called my guidance counselor to ask if I could still graduate.  He didn't even ask. He just told me to send him an address where he could mail my diploma.
