Any time someone asks "How can I get _____ to ______," the answer is always, "You can't." You can't control the behavior of other people, you can only control your own. You can, however, set boundaries for yourself. And, if I were you, one of those boundaries would be the refusal to put myself into this situation. The next time this starts, quietly excuse yourself and LEAVE. No big fuss, just go. It's possible that, over time, your refusal to put up with this could have an effect. But, even if it doesn't, you won't have to listen to it.
If any of them try to discuss it with you later, refuse to become involved. Simply change the subject. If they keep it up, excuse yourself politely and hang up the phone, or leave.
You don't have to tolerate this. So, don't.

You can only take off your medical expenses if you itemize your deductions on Schedule A, and file Form 1040. If you take the standard deduction, or file Form 1040A or 1040EZ, you cannot deduct your medical expenses. Secondly, you can only deduct your medical expenses to the extent that they were over 7.5% of your AGI (adjusted gross income).
if you paid medical expenses for any qualifying dependent or your spouse, you can also include this in your deduction. Qualifying individuals include anybody who you can claim as a dependent on your tax return who lived with you for the entire year or is a direct relative or step-relative, and for whom you provided at least half of their total support.

I used to family counsel. Hated it. People have zillions of problems of which they bring them all to you. Of those zillions of problems most would have been easily resolved if people just listened to each other and came to mutual compromise and understanding. After a while I started to lose all respect for people. Individual counseling was much more rewarding. Even that got old though. Now I teach.

Search the LICENSING BODIES of professional counsellors in your jurisdiction. These are the outfits that set the code of conduct and standards of professional practice. Here's a sample of what you're looking for from Pennsylvania:
Professional Counseling Credentials
Academic Degrees
A graduate-level academic degree is required to be considered a professional counselor. A master’s or doctoral degree in Counseling or Counselor Education are the typical degrees leading to professional counseling; however, some other graduate degrees (e.g., counseling psychology) can be appropriate if the program meets the requirements for licensure. Those who deliver services with less than a master’s degree are considered paraprofessionals. See Accreditation below for information about appropriate accreditation for counselor training programs.
Some Points About the Academic Degree
The master's degree is the highest degree you need to practice professional counseling in Pennsylvania and any other state in the U.S. A doctorate is often required to do clinical supervision and is usually required to obtain a university faculty appointment.
Common degree abbreviations for professional counseling are M.A. (master of arts), M.S. (master of science), M.Ed. (master of education), Ph.D. (doctor of philosophy), and Ed.D. (doctor of education)
Most master’s level professional counseling programs do not specify a prerequisite undergraduate major, but, given the fact that professional counseling is a mental health profession, an undergraduate degree in fields such as psychology, human services, rehabilitation services, health and human development or some related field is usually preferable. For those interested in school counseling, a degree in teaching is usually acceptable and sometimes preferable. Doctoral programs tend to be more specific in their requirements and generally a master’s degree in counseling is the most direct route.
Prospective graduate students: An excellent resource for graduate programs in counseling is Counselor Preparation: Programs, Faculty, Trends, Eleventh Edition, edited by T. W. Clawson and D. A. Henderson and published by Routledge (2002). This resource is updated every few years, so check for more recent editions. In addition, the CACREP website has a directory of all accredited programs by state.
Accreditation
Two credentialing boards exist for the purpose of accrediting professional counseling programs throughout the United States. The Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP) accredits master’s level programs with specialties in school counseling, community counseling, mental health counseling, college counseling, student affairs (college), marital, couple, and family counseling/therapy, career counseling, and gerontological counseling. CACREP also accredits doctoral programs in counselor education and supervision. (Visit the CACREP website here.) The Council on Rehabilitation Education (CORE) accredits master’s program in rehabilitation counseling. You can visit the CORE website here.
Accreditation is an important credential, especially for the mental healthcare consumer; just as it is reassuring to know that your physician graduated from an accredited medical school, seeing the "CACREP" or "CORE" designation on your professional counselor's curriculum vitae, marketing materials, or disclosure statement is reassuring, as well; it indicates that he or she completed a program with high standards and should have the requisite skills necessary for the delivery of mental health services.
Completion of a CACREP- or CORE-accredited professional counseling program can sometimes facilitate the process of applying for state licensure in some states and the Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC) credential through the National Board of Certified Counselors (NBCC).
Accreditation is also becoming more vital for employment; more and more employers are favoring job applicants who have graduated from CACREP- and CORE-accredited programs.
To locate accredited programs or to examine the criteria for becoming accredited, visit the CACREP or CORE websites.
CACREP CORE
State Licensure and Certification
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania regulates the practice of professional counseling that takes place both in and out of the school setting. School counselors in Pennsylvania are certified through the Pennsylvania Department of Education as Educational Specialists for either elementary (K-6) or secondary (7-12) school counseling. Information about the Educational Specialist – School Counselor certificate is available on the Pennsylvania Department of Education website here.
Counselors who practice in the community, with clients of any age, must be licensed through the Pennsylvania State Board of Social Workers, Marriage and Family Therapists and Professional Counselors in order to call themselves “Licensed Professional Counselors (LPC)” Information about this process can be found in Chapter 49 of the Pennsylvania Code found on the Board’s website. There is no license or certification required for counselors who practice exclusively in colleges or universities (unless requested/required by a particular employer); however, many counselors practicing in these settings do choose to become LPCs.
Board Certification
There are three national credentialing boards that issue board certification for professional counselors. The National Board for Certified Counselors (NBCC) is based in Greensboro, NC, and offers the Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC) credential. This is a general counseling credential appropriate for most counselors practicing outside of the school setting. Certificates of specialization are also available for mental health counselors (Certified Clinical Mental Health Counselor – CCMHC), addictions counselor (Master Addictions Counselor – MAC), and school counselors (National Certified School Counselor – NCSC). The Commission on Rehabilitation Counselor Certification (CRCC) is based in Schaumburg, IL, and offers the Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC) credential, which is specific to rehabilitation counselors. The National Credentialing Academy (NCA) is based in Corpus Christi, TX, and offers the Certified Family Therapist (CFT) credential, which is specific to marriage and family therapists. All of these credentials are recognized nationwide; however, in most cases all of them serve as a supplement to, not a replacement for, state licensure.
For more information about NBCC, CRCC, NCA or their respective credentials, please visit their websites, provided in the paragraph above or below in the following section.

watch the clip again… it doesn’t say it was high school sanctioned bullying, but by a group of girls. In this story, told by the victim, “those girls sent my email to everyone in school”. Unfortunately, this type of bullying is very common among today’s teenagers.

That depends on the school you are wanting to attend for graduate work. If you visit the school's website it should provide you with their GPA requirements for admission.

I currently teach high school music and my best friend is the dance teacher at our school. She is getting her masters in dance at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. She specializes in modern dance and west african. She has even been to west africa to study this form of dance. The program there, from what I know, is a very good one.
