is there anything i can do?
hey everyone, i have a really huge problem and i need to know if theres anything i can do to help or fix anything.. my best friend is being forced to go to a different school by her parents.. the reason is because of her grades and how she isnt 'responsible' randomly friday they got rid of her cell phone, and grounded her all thanksgiving break and told her she was going to a differnet school... the school is a christian school and its about 30 minutes away. anyways, they got rid of most of her clothes and replaced them with 'christian apropriate clothes' she'll be starting at the christian school the monday after this next one. i know we'll still talk and stuff but its just not going to be the same having her gone... i need to know some ways i can help or make things change.. or some excuses shes already threatend she would kill herself or turn lesbian (no effence) but theyre just like 'i dont care' please help..

Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
tell her to ask her parents for one more month and tell them that if her grades don't go up they can put her in the christian school and if they do ask if she can stay that way they can see if shes responsible or not

Ewww, sadness for your friend. I think that moving her to a completely different school and drastically changing her clothes and her life is a bit extreme. But they are her parents and that is their desicion.
There is something going on that made them do this. Whether it was the last straw or irrationalness, they are seeing something as threatening to them or her.
If they are acting this way, I would mind your P's and Q's around them for a while. Try to be more respectful (not that you are not now, just to be safe)and fly under their radar. She will need to keep as many of her old friends as she can.
You cannot change their desicion, but you can be there for your friend. That is about all you can do, unfortunately.

There really isn't a whole lot you can do I don't think.
One thing you might want to do is dress the way they expect HER do dress when you go visit her. The reason being if they are becoming that fanatical about her lifestyle, you could be the next thing they go after. So, regardless of how you feel about them...do as they would expect in order to keep your friendship.
As far as your friend goes just be there to listen. Hopefully she will be 18 before to many more years and can leave. Encourage her any way you can. So long as she can get out once in a while with her friends, she will just have to tolerate it as best she can. :)
