I try to talk to my friend at school about being firm in her disions, but she keeps changing her mind. I know she is trying to be nice, but she has to do something about this guy who has been harassing her. My friend is an atheist so i don't know what to do.

First of all, I would pray for Jesus to give you the right words to say and to open her ears, eyes and heart to what you are saying. Then I would tell her that there are some crazy people in this world and the best thing she can do is report him to someone in authority - like her parents, a teacher, a counselor. When people know they can intimidate you they are "in charge" - when you stand your ground you take that control away from them. Tell her to not let this person manipulate her.....and then I would ask Jesus to open her heart to Him. Until that time, just cover her with your prayers.

Well, sooner or later she'll come to a point where she realizes that she has no foundation. That's probably going to get frustrating for her and when she gets stressed/upset, maybe you can talk to her about God and how you make your decisions through Him. If she doesn't want to hear it, then good luck for her in the future. God will know you tried your best with her, and will reward you. And also know that whether she listens to you or not, IS a firm decision.

What does your or your friend's faith (or lack thereof) have to do with anything?
If your friend is being harassed, ideally she should report the harassment herself. If, as you say, she is unable or unwilling to do that, then you, as a witness to the ongoing harassment, should take it upon yourself to report it. Either way, it needs to be brought to the attention of people who are in a position to put a stop to it.

just support her. and remember that being her friend is the most important thing right now, cuz even tho she's indecisive, having a good friend always helps in its awesome ways. let her kno that ur gonna be there for her (even IF she needs a shoulder in the end to cry on). most of all, if she makes the wrong decision (in ur opinion), try to forgive her, and luv her anyway ^^.

one of the hard things you have to learn in life, is to accept that you cant change people, you cant live their life for them , and you cant even help them if they dont want you to. no matter the intentions, all you can do is offer some advise. it is up to her what to do with it.as you well know, God gave all of us free will. what you must do is to stand back and let your friend do as she wants. if she tires enough of the guy harassing her, she will do something about . best wishes

God doesn't micromanage. That's what free will is all about. Offer to go with her to the school principal and tell on this guy.

Her being an atheist has nothing to do with her indecisiveness. If she really wants to put her foot down, it will be up to her, not up to Jesus. Dig?
