Do you know, or can you find out which friends and faculty are concerned about you? If so, tell them that you'd like to talk with them instead of being forced to talk to the guidance counselor.

If you don't know which friends or faculty are concerned, ask your guidance counselor to relay the message to them; that you'd like them to address their concerns about you with you.

But maybe their concerns are well founded, and they really feel that you need someone who's trained in helping people with their problems. It may take some time for you to trust counselors, but that time could be well worth it.

If you are having a personality conflict or just don't care for your guidance counselor, or if you feel that she isn't helping you, explain and ask her to recommend someone else.

I hope that you can get everything sorted out
