I have a friend I've known for years, recently he came to me saying he had depression. I've been helping him through it but now he's saying he has anxiety - I have anxiety so I've caught him out in a few lies about anxiety because I know a hell of a lot about it myself. Some of the things he says doesn't add up, and he comes to me all the time saying ''I'm going to kill myself on this day'' and I know people with an actual intention of committing suicide don't tell people. I want to be there for him, but with the lies and the constant empty threats of suicide I don't know what to believe. Nothing adds up, he always says he feels like shit but then he's laughing and smiling, if I say I have a problem he says he has it too, he always turns it over to him - for example, I told him the other day I was feeling anxious and he said ''Me too.'' and suddenly started breathing irregularly even though a minute ago he was fine, he told me he's been told by his therapist that he may have bipolar, alchzhimer's and all kinds of crazy diseases that are impossible for him to have at his age, and very unlikely for him to have all of them (he named about 6). He says he wants someone to listen to him and to help him but he always comes to me for advice, it's like he comes to me because I'm the only option and he has nobody else. I don't know what to do. I don't need this kind of negativity in my life but I don't want to abandon him if he really is going through stuff. Is he attention seeking or is he genuinely having problems? (link)

I second Rahzies advice.
He definitely could be seeking attention as well as having problems. I like that you didn't call him out on all this and that you're trying to find the right way to handle this kind of situation.
Because in case he is serious about suicide, it's something to always take seriously.
When he tells you about his suicidal thoughts, go tell another adult. I don't know your ages but if you're in school, tell a teacher or counselor or his parents. Whether or not he was serious, it's always good to tell somebody because you can't take that on yourself.
When he comes to you about his other medical problems that he's claiming to have, just be nice and explain that you have a lot going on and you care about him so much but you need to take care of yourself first and if he needs someone to go to about all these serious issues, he needs to talk to someone professional. I mean that's what they're there for, right?

I don't have a lot of friends andI know I should be grateful for the ones I do have but I feel alone. I don't have like a group of friends all my friends are from different groups. I used to have a group of friends but we're not really friends anymore but that's a story for another time. Anyways lets talk about the kinds of friends I have friend A is really judgemental and she's always called me ugly but with mixed signals I don't if she knows that I caught on but oh well but this is how she'd call me ugly in grade 8 she said that me and this guy would look cute together, the next day she said that same guy and this other girl would look cute together because they're both ugly. She just basically called me ugly without remembering what she said the day before. Grade 9 comes and she says "wow you're so lucky you're not popular cause I don't hear boys talk about you and say that you're super ugly" so she just called me ugly again. Grade 10 comes and she looks at me and says "wow I'm imagining how you'd look with makeup and longer hair you'd look really good" which indicates sheets 's still not happy with my appearance, grade 11 comes and my hair is finally longer and she says "see I told you, you'd look better with longer hair now all you need is makeup" indicating she's still not happy with how I look. Grade 12 just started and she's still bringing up I should wear makeup. I finally branched out in making new friends too so in grade 10 I became friends with friend B we clicked and hung out a lot in the summer until Halloween of grade 11 when she got a boyfriend and to this day she only talks to me about her boyfriend, doesn't invite me out anywhere unless her boyfriend comes, even when you tell her that you want a girls night he still finds a way to come. They're basically joined at the hip cause they're always together so of course I feel alone when I hangout with her cause now whenever I tell her my problems she relates it to her boyfriend, I'm friends with her boyfriend too but they're just annoying. Friend C only talks about her culture and makeup and whenever you bring something else up she says "stop its gonna make me depressed" in the summer she used to call me every single day and I'm not exaggerating whether I was out with family she would call, now she has a guy to talk to and now that's all she talks about, she's like friend B where if you bring something up she'll relate it to the guy. Friend D only talks about boys and again whenever you bring up something else she'll brush it off and talk about her problems but out of all these friends id probably have fun hanging out with friend D because this summer she was the only one that wanted to hangout with me. Friend A and I only talk in school, friend B was all about her boyfriend and I don't wanna hangout with friend C because she's too "classy" to take public transit. Her words not mine. I just want a friend where we can both talk about our problems equally, still be able to have inside jokes and we're not judgemental about each other, we wouldn't talk about the same thing 24/7 and we'd go places. With the friends I have now let me just tell you this now none of them really personally know anything about me I've known friend D the longest out of all of them and she didn't even know my family background till this year that's to tell you how self-centred my friends are but I could tell you so many facts about them. I've tried making more friends at my school but now that it's grade 12 cliques are already formed and I'm super shy I'm surprised I've made different friends but the ones I haven't mentioned are just acquaintances that don't want to be anything more than a school friend. What do I do what can I do to stop feeling lonely when I have friends? I have social media too but I also feel alone on there too cause no one interacts with me whenever I interact with them they just favourite my tweet and that's it. Please help and thank you if you've read up to this point and sorry if there are a lot of typos this was typed on my iPhone. I also tried joining clubs and so far everyone in the clubs are friends with each other already so they kind of automatically excluded me with out their knowledge (link)

Well your first friend doesn't treat you how a friend should treat you. I wouldn't actually consider her a friend.
I also want to say that you should change your looks or start wearing make up because someone tells you that you should.
Friends should lift you up and support you, they shouldn't make fun of you.
It's hard when your friends have boyfriends. The guy becomes the center of attention. It sucks but it does happen. If you do have a good friend that has a boyfriend but that's all they talk about or she keeps bringing him along, I'd suggest talking to that friend. Let them know how you feel without attacking them.
But try to make some new friends as well. It takes time to build friendships but I'm positive you will.
Maybe start talking to your school acquaintances, if you make an effort eventually someone will come around. It's really hard when you're shy but sometimes it's just something you have to do.
I'm glad that you joined clubs. And like I said, it takes time to start building a friendship so don't rule out the people who already have friends in those clubs.
Just remember it takes time, it will be difficult but just put yourself out there.

So my best friend and I are always together. Because of this I tend to meet her otherfriends and make friends through her. About a year ago we started occasionally visiting her friend, lets call her Laura, and also Laura's boyfriend since ge lives with her. So a few days ago Lauras boyfriend told my friend he has a crush on me, I'm terribly shy and don't know how talk to people...let alone in those circumstances.... Buy anyway he messaged me on Facebook yesterday and I didnt know what to say... He had said hey and I left it for a few hourse until i was just like 'hola' and then he didnt say anything until this morning he said 'hit me up when your not buzy' its 8 at night and I still haven't opened it or responded and I don't know what to say I really don't want to be mean or ignore him and make things awkard for mu friend but I also don't know what to say because I really don't like him that way and considering the other circumstances besides the fact I'm friends with his girlfriend... I just don't know what to say and I can't just keep ignoring all his messages if he keeps talking to me (link)

I don't think it would be wrong to message him back. I think as long as you don't lead him on or anything like that you're fine.
Given the circumstances, that he's in a relationship, it puts you in a difficult situation.
So you can either not respond to the message, or you can answer but in an "just friend" way.
If he gets flirty or says anything that makes you feel weird, just don't respond.
Hopefully this is just a crush that will fade away.

I am a girl and my best friend is a guy who is pretty much a brother and today I found out good exgirl friend cheated on him while they were dating now they're friends and he doesn't know I don't know if I should tell him, he has a right to know but it may ruin there friendship should I tell him what I found out? (link)
|
It's not your place. I mean unless they were still together or if they're thinking about getting back together, I think you shouldn't get involved.
But if they're not together, and not getting back together and are only friends, just leave it be.

Of course I hate false rumors. This isn't exactly a rumor.
But anyway have you ever seen someone fake being goth or sad or something for attention? Well most of my school is doing that. I'd like to say first I support homosexuals just not fake ones.
Ok so there was this girl in my elementary school and she was Emo And A Bisexual she finally was excepted.
Then after she turned Bi people who hated homos said they were. Then more and more. Then more people claimed to be Emo. Just because its a stupid craze. I know youll say I don't know them but if you were in my position. Don't tell me I don't know its fake because 99 percent of a school doesn't turn homo in a day. Its not homosexuals I disapprove of its the fakeness.
So I just have to listen to everyone say how sad or depressed they are.
I don't know if I should or how I'll tell them That your fake and stuff.
Which is unusual because anyone who knows me can tell you I don't sugarcoat things or care do call you out in something or call out a faker.
Any advice? (link)
|
Why call them out? It's not going to change them. It is mean to call people fake, whether they are or not. Whether it's being honest or not, it's still mean.
I don't even get the point. Let them do what they want to do. It's not your job to tell someone who is depressed and who's not. Granted, some of them might not actually be depressed but you don't know which ones are and which ones aren't. Even people who have the best lives can be clinically depressed, you just don't know everything about someone.

Months ago I was able to call the most beautiful girl that's ever been in my life, mine. Sadly we parted ways but still remained somewhat in contact. We would occasionally talk, interact on social media, just never face to face. Today I asked her if it would be okay now to hang out and she said she to be honest she'd probably feel uncomfortable.
What I fail to understand is that she made it clear at one point I was the only one that still had feelings. Not ashamed of that, but now I don't have feelings for her and she still isn't sure we can be friends?
While dating she taught me so much. Like self care, and how to generally be happy. I've grown so much in the past few months with her and with out her and it kills me to think I'm going to lose her completely. I accept the fact that we can't become lovers again but being friends would be so much better than not having her in my life at all.
I'm not sure what I'm asking, maybe just some reading some thoughts on this would help me. (link)
|
This is pretty much the ball is in her court. So even though you'd still like to be friends and hang out with her, she's unsure about it and she gets to be the one to decide.
To be honest, she probably thinks you still have feelings for her. She probably doesn't understand what an impact she made on your life that you'd still like to have a friendship.
Or she would just feel uncomfortable hanging out just for the reason that you guys dated. Some people just can't be friends with their exes. Maybe she's one of them.
You can possibly make it clear there's no feelings. But there isn't much else you can do but give her more time.

iam 15yrs of age.i have a friend,my best friend.we went to thesame collage infact we do alot of thing together.

If you feel the same and you want to date him, then say yes. If you don't, then say no.

I raped someone I want to turn myself in immediately. Tell me what I need to do. I need to be punished. I will not say how it happen and why. I can't make up any excuses. I was drunk but it doesn't change anything. The person who was hurt doesn't want to do anything and prefers to just forget and move on, but I can't . I need to be punished and I want to turn myself in. The person wouldn't have to worry about trial or publicity. I just need to know what I have to prepare for. (link)
|
They'll probably need to talk to the other person involved to know what happened. If the other person doesn't want to be involved or denies it, then I'm not sure if you can turn yourself in.
If you still can, and you feel like you need to, then go turn yourself in.
If you can't, then I'd suggest going to therapy. I think it will help you heal and move on from this as well. If the person wants to move on and forget, just respect them.
|
|
My friend told me how I raped him months ago. We were both drunk and the incident occurred. But it's been 5 months and he tells me this. He still calls me over to help move in and set up the house. He asks for advice and assistance from. Even now when he's sick with the flu he asks me to take care of him. I have contemplated going to the police and turning myself. It's been two days and I'm thinking Monday , but he has no desire to take any recourse or make a case. I feel that he's just being nice and I tell him to stop it, that it was my fault . But for some reason it's like he doesn't care.....why?? (link)
|
Even though what you did was an awful thing, he is moving on.
I think if you turn yourself in, they'd talk to your friend and if he doesn't admit to it or anything, then there isn't anything to report. I'm not 100% sure on that but that's what I'm thinking.
Besides that, learn from this. Don't drink that much, you don't want to hurt anyone else.

To make a long story very short, I was in a relationship with this guy and we broke up about a month ago. The breakup was bad, because he broke up with me for another girl that he unintentionally got pregnant. He apologized later and I have since forgiven him. We started to become friends again, and it was good. A week or two goes by and he starts talking to me about liking this other girl. That would be fine in most circumstances, but he also said he still had feelings for me. That confused me for a while, but then I figured out how much of a liar he was in the relationship. The next week I told him that I still loved him and how I felt about his lying behavior. I told him because I couldn't get the thoughts out of my head and it was driving me crazy. After we talked about it, now he acts like we aren't friends. He says "we're cool" and there are no grudges or anything, but he won't hang out with me outside of the events I have to see him at. Those events are weekly, by the way, and now I'm left feeling like I have to pretend everything is fine in front of all of our mutual friends. Its not fine, and if those people knew what he did they may not want to be his friends. I know this sounds really messed up, but I still want to be his friend in spite of all the things we've been through. My real question is how do I go about rebuilding this friendship if I can? Should I apologize for telling him how I felt, and making him feel weird? I mean whatever I do, I know this guy will lie to my face, because I've caught him so many other times. However I don't want to loose a great friend I used to have, I've already lost him as a lover, I can't stand to loose him as a friend too. Is it hopeless, or is it fixable? (link)
|
There are a lot of things you need to sit back and think about before making a decision on what to do next.
Firstly, this whole lying thing he has going on. Now, I wouldn't want a friend who lies to my face. And you said you've caught him do it so many other times. So since you still want him in your life, he probably has other qualities that are actually good. But how can you rebuild anything with someone when they just lie? When can you trust them?
Besides that, I don't think you need to apologize for telling him how you felt. I don't see why. You were being honest with him and that's a really important thing in friendships. But apparently he doesn't think honesty is a big deal.
So if you've sat down and thought about these things and still want to keep him around for some reason, then you need to move on first. It's only been a month since you guys have broken up. That's not long at all. You're still hurt that you "lost him as a lover" so you still need some time.
My advice is to give yourself some more time to heal over everything that has happened. I know it'll be hard being around him and especially that you guys have mutual friends but you will have to act calm and cool like it's no big deal, even though it is a big deal to you. Just be cool, go out and have fun and don't worry about him right now.
Once you get past this stage, then you can decide whether you still want him as a friend and you can actually rebuild a friendship because you won't be wanting more than that.
If you want more than just a friendship, you'll never really rebuild it.

Is it normal for teen to hate their super weird friend? Alright, I don't have many friends at school. Well I do, but I'm held back by one person- my "best friend." I had sat with this kid since school started. We had other people, but drama happened and we fell apart. Anyway she's the only person I sit with at lunch. At first I didn't mind, but then I started noticing weird things about her. For example, this kid eats her hair, picks her nose and eats her buggars, she runs everywhere she goes (when she does she lifts her legs high like a young child's), she wears pants so tight you can see her butt-crack, and much much more. What's bad is that people notice! They make fun of her and then put me in the same boat as her. I have other friends who are sweeties, and I know they feel for the both of us, but they can't extend themselves to my friend because she's so darn anti-social! This friend is the only person I sit with and I feel so ISOLATED! I never liked her that much, and she made fun of me in gym class! She's not that great of a person. I hate her! I truly hate her! I don't know what to do! Please help me before I go crazy!

It's not weird to feel that way, especially with someone who you don't have much in common with.
And she shouldn't be making fun on you, so that doesn't help.
I'd suggest finding other friends to sit with at lunch. If she questions, talk to her privately and let her know that you feel isolated when it's just you two sitting together at lunch.
If she doesn't get mad or anything, invite her to join you. If you really don't want to continue being friends with her, then just find other friends to hang out with.
But if you don't like her because she does all those gross things then maybe talk to her about it? I don't blame you, I wouldn't want to hang out with someone who did that stuff either.
But some people just weren't ever taught what they should and shouldn't do. So you should talk to her and let her know how you feel about all that and what's socially acceptable behaviors.

I know all the girls find me cute I don't think there is any that don't and my best friend said to me He had a crush on the college tutor and I took her away from him becuse I could and it was lose my best friend or keep the girl so I left him for the girl so them I wrote out my Christmas cards but only to the good looking girls nobody else but people seemed to be offended by it (link)
|
Yeah you do.
You said you took away the college tutor that your friend liked just because you can.
You chose a girl over a friend. So yeah, you don't care about people. You don't care about your friends.
You seem to be a little too obsessed with getting girls? It doesn't seem like you are a real friend.
|
|
well i have this one best friend who doesnt like my other best friend and i dont like my on best friend sometimes but i act like i dont like one best friend when i am around another and vise versa so i need help what should i do i mean it i need help! (link)
|
You need to be honest with them.
That's their drama and you shouldn't be involved in it.
So talk to them, let them know you love both of them and you're not going to take sides. If they value your friendship, then they'll understand.
They don't have to hang out with each other with you but they do need to accept that you will still be friends with both of them.

My bestfriends bestfriend took me out on a date... We flirted but before that he was calling me perfect trying to get me to go on the date with him trying to tell me he wanted to kiss me and all that stuff...the date was fun.. He tried to take me somewhere expensive but I made him take me to fast food. Then after that we hung out with our friends.. No interaction, but at threnody of the night we went to get gas. He went inside and came back with a soda and have it to me and told me to share with my brother... And I didn't even ask or tell him what my favorite soda was... But he got it... Two days later him and my bestfriend were "fighting" I made them make up and went to mcdonalds..he opened the door to our friends truck so I could get out...that weekend he but his hand on the small of my back... But a week later of barely talking, even though the week before he texted me nonstop. The week later I told him I liked him( which at the beginning of the date I went in not liking him like that) and he said.. You're fun to be around, but idk if I like you... And we left it at that.. Then that weekend he snap chatted me a lot.. And then nothing this week and now he's talking to a new girl now. And I'm over him and today he snapped me... But when I snap him or text him no answer so today i didn't answer...and he's a player...and I know I'm being played but my friends that are his friends too are saying he likes me.. Or so they thought.. Help guys? (link)
|
Well if you're over him then don't stress out about it.
He went out with you, was interested in dating you but something didn't click with him, and that's ok. He straight up told you that he doesn't know if he likes you, and he was being honest. It's not like he lied and told you he liked you and never answered your texts or snap.
If they didn't hear him say that he still likes you, then don't read too much into it.
Plus, he's talking to another girl.
I think if you're offended when he doesn't snap you back or text you back, then don't snap or text him.
|
Ok so I'm sorry of this sounds confusing but bare with me because this is the first time in actually getting this out in some way
Ok so I'm 14 and I just started high school everyone knows that your clique when you were in middle school never stays together and I'm not the type of person to be in denial about that stuff I know it happens
So 2 of my friends I've known since the 4th grade and my other friend I've knowed since 7th grade I'm very quiet but I observe alot of things so it's kinda hard to make new friends for me but lately I've been depressed because I feel that I'm the most unliked in the group and since I'm so quiet and shy that it's really hard to make new friends the reason why I feel the most unliked is because little things like my friends not telling me that my other friend was in a wheel chair we have a group message thing and no one ever reply to me sometime they will read it and not reply they say that they love me and there is no one like me but it really hard for me to believe them and I know this well enough that most of you guys are gunna say just sit down and talk to your friends but I can't it's really hard for me to tell people how I feel
My questions am I being overly sensitive and should I just leave it alone or should I suck it up and try and make new friends either way it's gunna be hard for me (link)
|
I agree with the other adviser. You shouldn't be depressed over friends.
You already know friends come and go when you grow up.
I'm quiet also so I understand how difficult it can be to make friends.
You already know what you need to do. Life is hard and there are some things we just need to do in order to be happy.
So talk to your friends and let them know how you feel. You don't want to lose them over something that might just all be in your head.
And be open to meet to people and make new friends. Just because you're quiet, doesn't mean you can't make friends. I have tons of friends. Just be open and if someone talks to you, listen, and you'll have something to say.

I have this friend that censures people 24/7 and she thinks it's hilarious but I do not. Recently, she saw my mom, my mom has a small cyst on her face and she made fun of her. It really offended me. She keeps telling me that her whole family criticizes people (as always, she thinks its funny), and I don't know how she can be proud of that. It just shows how immature her family is, and turned her into the immature child she is now. We had an obstacle course test in PE a few days ago (I'm the most unfit skinny person you might ever know) and we had the longest running time cause I'm not used to physical activities and all my groupmates are mad at me including the one that made fun of me, and she has this attitude where you tick her off just a little bit, she ignores you for a really long time. What should I do? I really dont want to go back to cutting myself with shards. (link)

I think before you call off this friendship, talk to her.
At the end, you want to know that you gave everything to save this friendship. In everything relationship, not only romantic ones but friendships, it's a two way street. If she doesn't hear you out after you talk to her, then it's time to call off this friendship.
You obviously know her family background and that this is the way she was raised. So you already understand that but she needs to understand that there are boundaries and there are things that are appropriate to say and things that are not. And that some things might hurt other people even if she thinks it's funny.
So talk to her. Let her know how you feel.
The key to this is to not point fingers at her and make her feel defensive and angry.
Use the word "I".
"I feel hurt when you say things like this."
"It makes me feel bad when you ignore me."
If she doesn't work on this, then you don't need a friend who brings you down.
As for the cutting problem. I'm glad you're not cutting anymore. Have you had help for it? If not, you should see a counselor or therapist. Not because there is something wrong with you but you're still getting these urges and you don't want to fall back on that.
Nobody should have that kind of power over you.

Me and my bestfriend have hung out for a week... And we so sleep in the same bed but on different sides until last Friday after his party... We cuddled, we weren't drunk. It was after his girlfriend and everyone left I went to bed first and he came in and tried to get on of the blankets from me and at the party he said he was gonna cuddle with me... And we did... All night but. My bestfriend massaged my back, caressed my thighs and stomach and butt Keep in mind that we are bestfriends but we've never done this even when we're drunk. The next morning I went to the bathroom and came back not feeling good so he put his arm around me more but caressed his finger on my bra and he was trying to hold my hand too as well as his morning wood on my back .. And no he wants no one to know. To be honest I liked it but i dont want to like him again. And i dont.. What the hell is up? (link)
|
He has a girlfriend. So what's going on? He's technically cheating on his girlfriend. I mean this stuff isn't something you do with your best friend.
I'd talk to him and figure out what's going on. If he's into you, he shouldn't be with his girlfriend. If he wants to be with his girlfriend, don't sleep in the same bed with him anymore.

I'm having constant fights with my best friend. We've been friends for 3 years. All the previous school year and this summer we were seeing each other every day. We were inseparable. Now this school year started and I got a boyfriend. We've been unofficial for a few months and now for half a month we're official. I believe that she is jealous cause she is single for over a year and that she doesn't want to lose me as a friend. But she is showing it wrong. She keeps making scenes of jealousy, she won't talk to me, she is not even calling me to hang out anymore. I only see her at school. I don't know what to do. I don't want to lose her as a friend but she needs to understand that she's not right and that even though I have a boyfriend I still love her and she's my best friend. What should I do? (link)
|
You should talk to her. Let her know that you love her and you want to keep her as a friend.
Like the other adviser said, you don't need to point out why you're right and she's wrong.
Just communicate with her and make sure she knows you're not losing a friend. That you want to make time for both her and your boyfriend.

a couple months ago I stopped talking to my best guy friend.it's because two girls I used to be friends with hate me, and he has a huge crush on the one of them so she was able to turn him against me. My friends say what he did was wrong, just believing her over me. His birthday is the day after mine andI wanted to send him a text at midnight just let him know that I didn't forget. I don't know if I should apologize or just keep quiet until something happens. But it's already been a while and I really miss him. My friend say no and I kind of think that I should have but then I want to. And if we do become friends again that I'm going to have to worry about them still talking to him. What if it doesn't go right because they are still friends with him. I really don't know what to do and I really miss him and none of us like each other. Help? (link)

What would you be apologizing to him for? Did you actually do something or was it those girls that made something up?
If you actually did something that would cause him to turn away from this friendship, then yeah, you should apologize. Then it's up to him to decide whether he wants to talk to you.
If you didn't do anything and it was just those girls causing drama because they don't like you, don't apologize because I don't see what you'd be apologizing for.
If you didn't do anything, yeah it was wrong of him to just assume that and cut the friendship. That means he didn't value your friendship over the girl he had a crush on.
If you do become friends with him again, don't listen to those other girls. It's fine for him to be friends with whoever he wants. Just don't talk badly about them and just show him that you're a good friend.

I'm a 14 year old girl and my friend is dating someone online over Instagram (FYI Instagram is just like this social media website). She doesn't even know the guy in real life. When she told me I was concerned so I casually started asking questions about the guy. Apparently he's 13, going on 14, he lives in the Philippines and his username on the website is like Mark_B or something like that. She asked if Mark was his real name and suddenly he had to go, she doesn't seem to find this suspicious at all..... I'm really concerned about this because what if she tries to meet him in real life or something? I warned her about the dangers and she just says "But he's so sweet!" And "He stole my heart!" And stuff like that. So should I be concerned or should I just let it all play out? (link)

It's good to be concerned because there are tons of bad people out there who really can hurt you.
Assuming you're friend is 13 or 14, it can be really, really dangerous.
A lot of people aren't who they say they are over the internet.
There's not much you can do but encourage her to be careful. I'm guessing you guys aren't from the Philippines. So if he's really from there, it's unlikely they'll ever meet since he's only 13.
If he tries to meet her, it's a good chance he's not who he says he is.
Like Dragonflymagic said, tell her to skype with him. If he can use Instagram, he can get skype.
Just make sure she doesn't give out any personal information.
