No matter if she want's to tell or not, your responsibility is to your friend. YOu have to protect her if she can't protect herself. This is very stressful, especially for someone young like yourself. Just tell someone. The school counselor or principal and your parents would be your best bet.

Your friend is getting hurt and for her safety and happiness you have to an adult like your mom or your dad. I really hope you follow this advice.

MandaBear answered Thursday January 10 2013, 6:52 pm: You need to tell your parents about this. You cannot keep it a secret even though she may have promised you not to tell. This is illegal. Your friend is getting hurt and you have the power to stop it. If you or your friend don't feel comfortable telling your parents then tell a teacher at school or a counselor. Tell any adult that you trust and they will help you and your friend. Don't be scared or nervous to tell an adult about what is happening to your friend they will call the police and make sure that no one hurts her anymore. I hope that your friend finds help and I hope that you make the right desicion by telling an adult. [ MandaBear's advice column | Ask MandaBear A Question ]
karenR answered Wednesday January 9 2013, 11:07 pm: Your friend needs to tell someone who is older that will listen to her and help her. A teacher, an Aunt, maybe even YOUR mother. If she has nobody she feels she can trust, she needs to call the police. This is a crime.
Since you are underage, you cannot have a column on the site right now. We won't delete until you get a few good answers but we will have to soon.
Its great you want to help your friend. If she doesn't do something, talk to your mom about this. She might be mad at first but you can't let her be abused. [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
