my bff and her boyfriend


Question Posted Tuesday March 18 2008, 5:23 pm

okay so one of my best friends has an abusive boyfriend but she thinks it is ok. me and my other bff have tried talking to her about devonte (her boyfriend), but everytime they break up they get back together. he punches her and calls her names sometimes and hes always trying to take her stuff and look through it. how do i convince her to break-up with him for good this time. (just in case you want to know, a lot of guys think she is the prettiest [black] girl in the WHOLE school--devonte is-not to be rude- butt ugly,in nice terms)

Yeah you should get her help real quick. She's in denial because she thinks he loves her, but he doesn't because he wouldn't be hitting her or calling her names. Try calling some crisis hotlines or telling a trusted adult(parent, teacher, cop, etc.) and try to get both of them help, but mostly the boyfriend.

P.S. Love is not abuse

You need to talk to your counselor about this at school.

She'll be able to confront both, your friend and her boyfriend, in person.

That's one of the only solutions that works best - confronting them yourself doesn't usually work because they tend to think everything is alright.

A counselor will make them realize that their relationship needs help - and that your friend needs to move on and find someone that actually respects her.
