I have been friends with this girl for 11 years. We're both 17. Her parents are about to lose their house. When they lose it, they'll have to live with someone. Her parents will probably want to live with her Grandma. My friend wants to stay in our school district. Her step-dad is extremely proud and stubborn/childish. Do you think I should offer to have her stay with my family and me or would that be insulting?
adviceman49 answered Wednesday February 2 2011, 10:15 am: I think that would be a very nice thing to do. First you have to clear this invitation with your parents. If they approve of offering your friend a place to stay; which wil allow to stay in the same school district, then both you and your parents should make the offer to her and her parents.
Making this type of offer does two things for your friend. It not only allows her to stay in the sea school district. You are also offering her a safe haven of sorts as she could be living in conditions that could be, very tense and lack the type of privacy a teenage girl needs.
Your friend should also understand that while living in your home she will be subject to the same rules that your parents place on you. Your parents in effect will be her guardians while she is in there home regardless of how close her parents may be living to you.
