friends help: I have a friend, who needs help, - Help.com

You need to help her surround herself with people who will do the exact opposite of what her family is doing. Most people can only take being put down so long until they start to believe that what they say is true. Once that happens to someone it is really hard to get them back from that dark place, so the sooner she can find some positive people in her life the better off she will be in the future, no matter what she decides to do about the circumstances with her family.

I wish I could but I live in a different country from her now, I live in England, I don’t know what to do for her,

send her here if you wish, you can only do so much from a distance, just let her know you are there for her.

Ok. Thank you for your help

If anything do some research on places she can go and let her know about them, she may not be aware of the places around where she lives. Or if she has any hobbies, if there are any after school programs she can join. anything to get her to be surrounded by different people and give her a chance to feel good about herself.

Ok {hugs rememberpoe} thanks a lot, I will look into some stuff for her,

No problem, keep us updated :)

I think that the best thing to do in a situation like this is try to get her out of it. If that means sending her to live with a friend for a couple of months or if that means taking bigger action to get her removed from a situation. A person cannot come home, to a place that is supposed to a supportive and positive and to people who are supposed to love and feel put down and rejected. I’m not sure of the degree of the problem but if it is small and something her parents are doing that they haven’t always done maybe have her start by talking to them and telling them how they make her feel. If it is true emotional abuse let her know that there are always other options and that she’s worth so much more than that! Above all if it is a serious case of emotional abuse, get her OUT of the situation before she goes off the deep end. Emotional abuse can be the worst and it will eat away a person until they have nothing left! I hope she gets some help and thanks for being a good and caring friend, we need more friends like you in the world!
