What Would You Say ?

What would you say to :

• A teenager headed down the wrong path in life ?
• A parent who's about to give up on his/her child ?
• An adult who's made the wrong choices in life?

My first sentence would be : " Everything will be okay. We'll get through this crisis together".  Listening and sharing one another's buedens are one of the requirements to helping those in need.

Starting now, let us reassure and encourage our friends and the discouraged with the right words to say.
