One of my best friends, Sandy isn’t allowed to have a boyfriend (at age 13). She has one, but can’t hang out with him around her parents. One of my other friends, Casey, lives across the street (and is friends) with Sandy’s boyfriend, Mike. Since she can’t see him at any other time, she is always spending time with mike at Casey’s house, and never with us. When she’s with us she either is hanging out with him, talking to him on one of our cell phones (her dad has a recorder on her cell), or talking about him. We don’t want her to do anything stupid, so we want to keep an eye on her, like the great friends we are. We don’t want to be around her when she’s like this, but we want to keep protecting her and being her friend. What should we do?

First off, I understand what you're going through, my friend did the same thing... She had a b/f that her parents didn't approve of and made them break-up, but they secretly stayed together, but in the end decided it was best to just be friends... In your situation however, I suggest you try to talk to you friend about what she is doing, and ask her if she thinks it's wrong or not.. She's sneaking behind her parent's backs and lying to them! She needs to realize what she is doing is wrong! Tell her that she needs to confront her parents about it, and tell them the truth! Because, if they find out another way, she could get into a lot of trouble! Just try to help her, guide her to the right choice! Try sitting down with her and tell her to ask her parents about maybe changing the rule. That she's only allowd to see him w/ friends around, go on double/group dates...! I hope I helped! Please let me know wat happens! Good luck! Best wishes!
