mother


Question Posted Thursday April 21 2005, 4:17 pm

my friends mom is lets say not the nicest person in the world. my friend comes into school with bruses (not big ones but they shoulden't be there in the first place) and fingernail marks on her. i ask her and she just says her mom and her got in an argument, and not to worry, but i do. i really want to help her but i don't know what to do. please help

ok, i took alot of your advice and she slept over on friday. we talked and she said she really does not want to say anything because as much as they fight she loves her mom and does not want anything to happen to her. she also told me they have been working things out togeather and things are getting better. thanks for all of your help and i'll let you know how things go..

you should worry, it sounds like your friend is being abused and that is something huge you need to talk to someone such as your mom. she'd be the best person to ask about something like that. mom's always seem to know the right thing to do in situtaionslike that

You should tell her how serious abuse is and ask her if her mom is abusing her. If she doesn't tell you anything then tell her you'll report this to your guidance counsolor.If she still doesn't tell you anything report it to the guidance counsolor right away!
Casey out!

You should really tell her to go talk to somebody about this! This could be physical abuse! Hopefully she wont get mad that your talking about it but tell her your worried about her and you want to help! Tell her to talk to the school counselor or another 'trusted adult' like maybe a favorite teacher! But i would definately get help for her!

Hey, there is nothing you really can do. I would just try to talk to your friend. If I was you, I wouldn't get all involved with it though! Sorry to hear about that though.

you should try to get some kind of explanation for why her mom is doing that...alcholism, drugs, gambling. dont force a million questions into her at once. if there is something seriously wrong with the mother have her talk to someone. other than that theres not much you can do. just stand by her side and make sure shes ok. <3

i personally think you should tell her to go to counseling. like the school guidance counselor. if her mother is hitting her and leaving marks on her body, it's not right and something needs to be done about it. if she says she doesnt want to go to the guidance counselor about it, go to the counselor and have him/her call your friend down and sit her down to talk about it. she may be mad about it at first, but she will realize that you did it for her sake, and before it got too serious. good luck n lemme know how it goes!

Your friend should carry a knife. Next time the mom starts to lose her temper, have her take out the knife and stab her in the stomach. Hahaha. She wont be up for days. Or maybe, not at all.

Thats crazy. she shouldnt be treated like that. you need to tell someone before she gets seriously hurt.

novena answered Thursday April 21 2005, 4:49 pm:
If you trust your parents, talk to them about your suspicions and see if they can help you out with this:
Invite your friend to spend the night on a weekend. While you two have some time alone to talk, see if you can get her to tell you what is going on. Explain that you want to help her, and you care about her and hate seeing her hurt. Ask her permission to talk to your family about it. If she is up to it, see if they can help determine the right legal action to take.
If she is not up to it, try to talk to her about calling the police. At your house, she will be safe to do so. They will come talk to her and then go talk to her mom, and hopefully arrest her.
