How can i help my friend.


Question Posted Friday May 5 2006, 7:37 pm

Ok so i got this friend i have known for like 4 years now. I been on messenger talking to her mom alot. Her and her mom are always arguing. Then her mom says she thinks that my friend is cutting herself in the bathroom and all this. Then her mom said that she has caught her doing some thing on the webcam. And then her mom says she is talking bout moving with this 21 year old she met over the internet bout a month or so ago. And she hasnt had time to really get to know this person. What is something i can do or say to her that will help her cause i am getting really concerned as far as her and i am not one to get concerned hardly but i am real concerned as far as her.

You should first talk to your friend alone and like ask her what's really going on. Tell her that she can trust you and ask her about the 21 year old and if she's serious. The internet is like so dangerous these days because she could get a stalker like I had, and you should tell her that!

Hey Sweetie,


I think it isn't your position to get invovled in a mother daughter situation.

I think it is her moms responsibilty to control where and when her daughter get's on the computer and what kind of access she has. And if she can't control that then I don't feel it has anything to do with you.

And how would your friend feel like if she found out her mom was telling you this kind of stuff. It's like you don't know whether to believe it or not, or if you should ask or not. Either way someone will be hated either her mom or you, in my opinion but honestly I don't know.

All I know is it is very dangerous to meet someone online, an if her mom is that freaked out they can catch the guy or w/e if it's that serious.

But I have a friend who's sister was killed by someone over an internet relationship. And believe me it is scary so, just leave it up to her mom, an exsplain to her mom that she should talk to he daughter about it!

*Hope I helped*

I think that you should stay out of your friend and her mother's relationship and not talk to her mother at all.

Your friend sounds like she's getting herself into something serious, but her mom needs to deal with that, not you. Her mom needs to step in and stop her internet behavior, this is not your responsibility. You cannot be expected to rat out your friend and save her. The way I see it, you need to just tell her mom that you really don't want any part in this problem between them and that she needs to confront her daughter with their issues, not talking through you.

Besides, there isn't anything you can tell her that would make things better. She is her mother and if she suspects a certain bad behavior, it is her job to step in and see if it's true.
