i have a very close friend who is sometimes physically abused by her mother. i, outside her nuclear family, am the only person who knows. her mother scratches at her skin and hits her, only on fridays so the marks will be gone by monday. she also yells at her far more than normal in front of me even and criticizes everything she does anywhere. my friend also is severly subservient as a consequence and apologizes for trivial things very frequently, among other things. i think these are signs of mental abuse, from being so traumatized. i would do something about it as soon as i found out, except that i think, and i know my friend thinks, it would cause more problems for her in the long run. we'll be off to college in one moe year. she also has a younger brother who undergoes the same. what should i do, if anything?

You should tell someone. Your friend would regret it when she is older, and looking back knowing she didn't do anything about it. What will happen to her little brother when she is off to college? He wont have anyone to go to, and it will just be him all alone.
