Hey there. I realize this is weird and not at all related to this journal entry and maybe totally awkward. I just say your question about abuse in AMA and couldn't help commenting in a more personal area. I really hope you were able to find someone that you could speak to about the girl you know. I wanted to say I was abused as a child and I told a trusted friend. She told the appropriate authorities and it stopped the abuse. I was so angry and I denied it and one thing after another but she saved my life and I wish I could tell her that now. Um, that is so awkward and such a weird thing to share with a total stranger but anyway good on you for doing the right thing even though it's hard. She probably will deny it and she might even get upset but you're doing what's best for everyone involved, and you might be saving some others from what this person is doing. She and her sister probably aren't the only ones. Anyway, I know it's weird to be commenting like this, but I think it's awesome that you're doing the right thing and really,

Thanks for the comment. I'm just so confused about it still. I have so many questions, The problem is , she told me she had sex in the 7th grade and it wasn't consensual, and then I said "was it your dad" and she said "yea....let's just leave it at that" . Would that be considered a confession of being raped. Another problems is that she's supposed to moving to Texas this summer. I've talked to some friends about this and they told me not to tell. So....I'm just so fustrated over it.
It would be. And she wouldn't have said anything at all if she didn't need help. if it happened once, it will happen again. It's probably still happening, and she needs help. There are a million good reasons to tell but there isn't anything positive that can come out of keeping it a secret.
Yes I agree with you, I'm just scared something will go wrong. If she does find out I told I would lose a great friend and probably other friends. This has happened to me before where a family member has rejected me because I wanted to help them. I hate helping people and them flat out refusing it making it seem like I'm a liar or crazy. I understand how they feel but I'm just still confused over it.
