a really good friend of mine, her dad is extremely strict and doesnt even let his daughter, my friend, out of the house other than shcool. her dad wdoesnt even let her talk to guys like us. but she still does. anyway, i have a feeling that her dad abuses her and i am not sure to what extent. i really am close to this friend and do not know what to do. and i dont think she wants to turn him in for abuse because she is afraid, what should i do?
i do not know if he actually hurts her, but she asks to stop talking about it when we bring it up around friends.
i am thinkin gof having a seruious talk with her tomoorrow, just the two of us.

Yes, talk to her as soon as possible. Don't bring it up around other friends, becuase she'll most likely avoid the topic. Have a serious talk with her one on one and don't let her avoid the topic. Make sure she knows that she shouldn't be scared, and she has to tell you if something is wrong. It's good you care so much about your friend. But don't jump to conclusions unless your sure that her father is physically abusing her. If he is, talk to your parents and/or a school counselor, and get her help. Even if she tells you not to tell anyone, you have to take action. Good luck!

Talk to your and/or her teacher(teachers have to report suspected abuse,it's the law). That way you won't have to get too involved and your friend can get the help she may need. Tell, she may be mad at first but if she's being abused you have to help her get out. At the very least you find out what's going on. You are a good friend, be a great one and TELL.

What age is she. If she is still in school, YOU can go see a counselor. Tell them what you suspect. Be honest. Tell what you know and don't know. They are trained to handle this kind of thing. They will keep your name out of it. There may already be a file started from previous incidents. Don't abandon your friend, but don't involve yourself. That will only make it worse for her.

This could be a serious problem if you don't help her in the early stage. As a friend, you should do everything that you could to help her before things get even worst. Do talk to her first before reporting it anyone. Help her before it's too late.
