I need to know some signs of abuse, particularly SEXUAL ABUSE.
I think my friend is being abused. She's really anti-social. She really HATES perverted jokes, and she would not sit next to a kid a lunch, beause he wrote a letter to his girlfriend talking about sex, and now she thinks he is a RAPIST! (by the way he's not).
Another disturbing detail is that she wrote the words, "Kill All Humans" over and over again on a sheet of paper. I asked her about that, and she laughed and said she had more at home
Speaking of her homelife, I know that her sister and older brother do drugs. Her dad does not live with them and she thinks her mom is a whore because she has another daughter with someone else
So I need some signs of sexual abuse, or any type of abuse. and If you think she may have a disorder, please tell me! I dont want to assume that she's being abused and realize that i'm wrong
By the way I can't ask her or start a conversation about it. She wont talk to me if I asked.

Sounds like a teenager struggling to find a personal identity to me.
But, you never can know in these things. Best advice is not to jump to conclusions without clear facts. She could have trauma issues, or she could just be looking for validation and attention. Unless she tells you, you can't know.
You can, however, be a good friend. If she won't talk about it, that's fine. But you can be there for her. Provide her with an ear that is non-judgemental. Keep an eye on her to make sure she isn't frequently getting into dangerous situations.
She needs to make her own choices - most people aren't willing to be helped until they reach out for it themselves. All you can do is help make sure she has a support system and an environment to feel comfortable in.

You can't be sure if it's sexual abuse, but your friend has problems and kudo's to you for being a great and caring person to ask for help.
If I were you I'd talk to your school counslor and tell he/she that you have a friend who may need help. She may be acting out in other ways you don't see either. It's the hardest thing to do and NO you won't be going behind her back. She needs someone to talk to and help her. If you don't seek help with a trusted advisor you will be doing her an injustice. Good Luck!
As for other responses on here..... if a teenage girl who obviously has enough teenage problems of her own, thinks this isn't just another teenager acting out and seriously thinks she has a problem. THAN SHE DOES. Teenagers know other teenagers. Don't be so quick to judge that she just wants attention.

If her brothers are doing drugs, then there is probably abuse in the home, either emotionally, verbal, physical and/or sexual. Talk to your school social worker or counselor.

Chances are she isn't being abused. sexually abused kids tend to act out a lot more than she does, or they jusr shrink into themselves. Relax, and please mind your own business. ifshe needs your shoulder, she will ask
