Question Posted Thursday November 8 2007, 7:35 pm

my friend got into some trouble that made her have to switch schools, and she had a drug problem becasue she felt like she never got love from her parents...well today she came to school crying and said that her mom found a memior that she wrote for school and it was talking about how her mom blamed her for everything...well she said that her mom emotionally beats her down and said that this morning she slapped her across the face...so she called her dad and her dad told her that she was being overdramatic...she said the court told her she has to listen to her parents and i said that there is a fine line between listening and abusing..but she kept on saying she cant talk to anyone because they wont listen to her because of her drug problem from the past year...i just dont know what to do...i mean what if i say something then she really is being a drama queen..from the way she talks about her mom her mom dont like her...im just stuck on this one

First off, I completely agree with you - there is a VERY fine line between listening to your parents, and letting them emotionally, physically, and mentally abuse you. And second, I want to tell you that you are a very good friend, for caring enough to try to help your friend.

This is a toughie, normally, I would tell you to talk to your friend's parents. But now, her problem is her parents. So the only other person I can think of, is to tell the police or call one of those hotlines for abuse. They're completely anonymous, and they just tell you what they think you should do as her friend. And I think that would be a great idea, would you like me to look up the hotline? I'd be happy too, just let me know in an inbox question.
