What do I do as a support if my ADC doesn't attack anything other than minions

I'm talking enemies, turrets, inhibs, Nexus. And 1/2 of these people don't communicate, and the other half just simply blame me.

The worst part is, I'm sitting here wasting my abilities like heals and shields only to have him/her stand there and continuously get hit because he/she keeps getting poked and won't attack anything but minions. Even at 15% health, the ADC just stands there continuously farming creeps.

Attacking turret? ADC: Nah, I'll just stand here farming creeps under enemy tower while you, Full Tank Support, have fun attacking that tower by yourself.

I ask nicely and target ping enemies to indicate that I am going in... stands there and continues to farm. Jungler Gank? 2v2. Me and the JG vs their bot.

Usually when this happens, I go support other lanes, which has a 30-70 chance of working. What do I do? This is getting on my nerves.

You know what's the funniest part? Even after farming all lane, the enemy still ends up with a higher cs count despite them poking and attacking all throughout lane. Sigh. Bronze, farm for 20 mins straight, still end up with some ridiculous cs count like 97 cs in 20 minutes.

Well there are reasons to farm instead of trying to kill the enemy turret.

To get a gold advantage on the enemy adc.
If the tower is low, then instead of killing it, denying the enemy adc gold and experience.

Also, do they usually die when they farm at a very low amount of health, like 15%? Because if they do, then you should let them die. If they don't, then just try to poke enemy adc.

Don't heal them though... That's like giving a friend a cookie after they decided to help your arch enemy do something bad.. (I'm not very creative.)

Gold advantage...yeah, even after farming for 20 minutes, they still have something like 97 farm while the enemy has 140-something despite poking all lane. Yes, I've settled on just simply not helping them if they refuse to do anything other than farm for 20 minutes straight, not to mention the enemy constantly poking. I suppose farming around the tower isn't that bad, but still the whole farming all lane thing is annoying as hell especially when you're wasting everything to save them. Or, you target ping them, engage, and then find yourself in a 1v2.

hmmm... Well besides what I said earlier, I don't know how to help. I've only been in that kind of situation when I was playing adc, and my support would sit around and farm. Sorry.
