Question Posted Saturday February 19 2005, 10:29 pm
today there was this party at one of my friends house i was all ready to go and i looked really cute but then i got this call from my mom and she said it wasnt ok to go to the party because there were drugs in my friends house (because his mother is a drugattic)and also his stepdad got into a fight with the gand group called hells angels so that means that the gang may come to my friends house and try to hurt him or one of his family members at anytime and i have three problems with this 1. is most of my friends didnt go to the party but four of them did and i want to make sure they are ok how would i go about that because i am not sure if they know about all the mad stuff in our friends house and i dont want to tell them because my friend who had the party doesnt kno any of this and i dont want to embarris him 2. i think my friend who had the party might be mad at me for not going (and the otehr people that ddint go) because he doesnt know why we didnt so we had to make these realyl dumb excusses up and i feel bad for him is there any way to tell if he is upset with us? 3. im really worried about my friend who had the party because it is a very unsafe place to be i mean there is drugs in there and his mother could get arrested in front of him at any time (and that might damange him for life if he sees that)and the gang might rob or come into there house at anytime and try to kill them is there anyway to keep my friend safe?
thanks for reading this all i am very greatful because i really want to help my friend out
JennyP23 answered Monday February 21 2005, 3:53 am: Wow. That is a difficult situation for anyone to be in. The only thing you can really do is ask your frineds how the party went without mentioning anything else. See what they say about it. Your friend may be mad at you for not going, but you did the right thing, and your mom was right to not let you go. Just explain to your friend that your mom didn't want you to go. Ask him if he is upset that you didn't show up and talk to him and try to make him feel better about it without bringing eanything else up. You have every right to be worried about your friend. That is a very dangerous situation for him to be in. However, unfortunately, there's not a whole lot you can do about it. Maybe you could talk to your parents about any options you may have to keep your friend safe (if they have an answer within the community or something) but other than that, you should probably just not say anything at all. Just resolve things with your friend--that's the best thing you can really do in this situation. The rest is beyond your control. [ JennyP23's advice column | Ask JennyP23 A Question ]

2. Ask your friend if he is mad at you and tell him that you’re really sorry that you had to cancel that it was really important and wondering if he’s mad.
3. There isn't much you can do, you can tell him what is happening in his own house and then try to keep him out of it. Also if you tell him, tell him you won't tell anyone and that you want to help him and are worried about him. Don't make it seem like he has bad parents though.
