ok, well my friend got raped by her dad and is abused. I dont know if he does it alot, or if he did it just once, but still, my friend is in deep shit if she dosent tell anyone. Fortunatly she told me cause we're really close, but she didnt tell the social worker *she was adopted* cause she said she dosent want her world to turn upside down and change. She told me to keep it as a secret and when she told me i was half asleep *i'm awake now* so i promised i wouldnt tell anyone that could arrest him or anything. Should i tell my parents and make her suffer but have her world the way it is and how she wants it to be? or should i break my promise to my friend and tell my parents? Please help, it's a big problem! i'll rate high!

PLEASE, tell someone! I know it's really hard to break a promise, but like you said, you were half asleep. Now wake up and do the right thing. This is very serious. She doesn't realize how dangerous and serious and emotionally damaging it will get if she let's it keep continuing. Of course she'll be mad at you, but I think deep down inside she will be relieved.

Think of it this way, wouldn't you rather have your friend be mad at you forever and safe than have her like you and be raped and abused by her father? Which would you prefer? So even if she was mad at you forever, it's still the right thing to do. I'm sure she won't be mad forever though, because you guys are friends and she will probably eventually realize you did it because you love her.
