rape help: what do u say to a raped friend? - Help.com

you don’t say anything don’t bring it up he probably wants to move on. If he cant get over it help him to get over it by helping him to get over the side effects the event has caused him.

if he told you then he wants to talk about it. Just try not to blow it to insane proportions and let him know that happens to a lot of people and that he just needs to move on from it if he hasn’t. Don’t let something some crazy person did ruin his life he needs to move on.

Just remember that most raped people think that its there fault. So pushing the point may make him feel worse about it. It wasnt right what happened. But it did. He needs you. Dont be pushy, talk when he wants to.

This is a very sensitive issue, you can really help your friend or can hurt him…
The most important thing your friend should feel, is confidence or himself, and his capability to be a strong person and a better person, he should be strong to get over this issue.

God gave people the bless of forgetting, however i think this top must be handled by a professional who can go true this topic with your friend and help him get over it.

Its not a shame to be a victim.

I wish him the best, and i know with an angel looking after him like you, this guy will be alright.

Just let him know you are there for him if he wants to talk about it, listening is really all you can do.

It was probably a relief for him to tell someone, to trust someone with this, maybe even a way to let go or accept it. And now you’re stuck with it.. I know what it feels like, powerless, you can’t fix his past.
