well, a while ago, my friend told me that she had been raped by someone in her family. she said it had been happening since she was like 9 and it recently stopped happining. i really care about this person and i want to tell someone about it, but she made me swear not to tell anyone. im really confused on what to do and whether or not to tell someone about it. she doesnt even like to talk about it but im not sure its the 100% truth or not. what should i do?

That sounds really serious and no matter what she says, you HAVE to tell someone like your mom or dad or uncle or aunt or grandma or grandpa or SOMEONE closest to you in your family. That's not right. It's serious and whether she likes it or not, you HAVE to tell someone like the cops. They can investigate and arrest whoever is raping her!
Best of luck!!!
Hope I helped!!!

Then You need to tell someone, iwouldn't tell family b/c knowing most parents, they'd be reluctant to ever let you go to that person's house again. I know that your friend will be mad when you tell, but it's the right thing. A good friend keeps secrets like these, but best friends tell so they can help. Trust me. Let me know how it goes.

So they share their burden with a friend. Then they swear that friend to secrecy because they don't want the raper to know that they told someone. You should probably tell your friend's mom or dad depending on who it was that raped her. If you don't tell some one your friend never will until she finally breaks under the pressure of that secret. When my friend told my mom I was angry at her for a while, but eventually I realized that she really set me free. I'm working through my problems as your friend will her's, with your help.
