my bestfriends parents are mean to her..they dont hit her but they call her names and stuff..she called me crying hard and i know she cant take it! and i need to know how to help her..any ideas??
Tell her that what her parents are calling her, (depending of what they are calling her) aren't true, and that's your always there for her when she needs you.
itsz_JESS answered Wednesday May 17 2006, 7:08 pm: whenever they make fun of her or call her names, tell her to call you so she can talk to you or have her talk to someone she trusts. try to comfort her and you both could hang out or go somewhere that isnt at her house. good luck!

TurrrrrrtleMolly answered Tuesday May 16 2006, 8:01 pm: I think you are her main source for comfort. They may not be able to afford a counselor, and her parents may not want her to get one. You can help her alot. My best friend is like my therapist. So you can be hers. Try and call her every day and talk about her day and yours. Try and hang out with her, and do stuff together with a bunch of friends, you know, occupy her mind and get her to try and not to worry about it. And, if possible, tell her she should talk to her 'rents about how they hurt her. Well, thats all that I can think of, but if things get worse, talk to the athorities or your parents will know what to do. Hope I helped. ^^Molly^^ [ TurrrrrrtleMolly's advice column | Ask TurrrrrrtleMolly A Question ]
Devina answered Tuesday May 16 2006, 7:51 pm: Councilor!! She needs one!! And maybe she might want to tell an adult about her problems!! Her parents are not treating her right. Maybe, her parents are having hard time with job and other stuffs, then just hit your friend with their rage. It's just not right. Ask her to go to a councilor and she should report what her parents do to her.
Hope I've helped. Tell your friend that everything will be alright. Tell her that I wish her the very best luck. >.< Everything will be fine... Just breath... [ Devina's advice column | Ask Devina A Question ]

orphans answered Tuesday May 16 2006, 7:23 pm: Tell her to talk to a guidance councelor. They will keep everything private, unless it's a big enough issue that they have to tell someone. No one will find out that she had to talk to the councelor, so has no need to be embarresed whatsoever.
You could always tell your parents about the situation or another responsible adult, and see what their opinion is.
Make sure you tell someone, because even though it's not physical abuse, it's still verbal abuse, and sometimes words hurt more then anything else.
Just be aware that her parents might have to have some counceling to stop themselves from verbally abusing their child.
It's nice to know you care about your friend. That shows your a true friend.
Any other further questions, just send to my inbox.
Best of luck to you and your friend, take care.
Just comfort your friend and hopefully everything will turn out good.
CavieOwnsU2 answered Tuesday May 16 2006, 7:18 pm: I, too, have been through this with my best friend. What I did was told my science teacher (last year) and we practicaly dragged her down to guidance. She said she'd only go if I was there with her the entire time. Well, we talked to the guidance counselors and the nurse. The nurse called DSS who sent one of their counselors to inspect the home and talk with the family (her, her mom, and her dad). Luckily, her parents realized what they were doing and put their act together.
KELLY_ELIZABETH answered Tuesday May 16 2006, 7:12 pm: i think she should talk to a school councelor. or call a teen help line. since they are professionals - they should know exactly what to do. i hope everything gets better like soon. if you need anything else - leave on in the inbox
