I got this email from my friend, and I was shocked that people would actually do this to her! I'm not sure how I should reply or make her feel better, please help!
btw I only keep in contact with her by email, I never see her in real life.

hello pplz,
i need to u guyz the true story of sumthing that happend 2 a high school girl last week.
ok here it is,
one day after school at around 3:00 pm, a teenage girl was walking home from school alone. she was taking the shortcut that she always took home from school (walking behind albertsons, rite aid, sports store, jelwry store, and liqour store.). as she was walking in that allyway, she was jumped by 5 ppl. 2 girls and 3 guys. 2 of the guys held her arms behind her bak while the other 1 kicked her, punched her in the face, and spit on her. the 2 guys let go of her arms when he was done and the 2 girls laughed at her while she layed on the ground crying and bleeding all over the place. the 5 teengaers then ran off. the girl couldnt move very well and it took her a long time to get up. she eventually got home were she didnt tell her mom anything. she got a black eye and has had a bloody nose nonstop 4 about a week now. she is afraid to tell any1 anything. why is she afraid?

You need to be there for her as much as you can and try as hard as you can to convince her to tell the parents and the police (email her DAILY!). When crimes like this go unpunished, the culprits often continue to do this to others. Tell her that she could potentially save another person from being a victim of such a horrible hate crime.

Ok if this is real then someone should help her tell someone what happened and find a solution to this.
On the off chance someone copied and pasted a myspace chain-mail bulletin about hate crimes, Ill have to say what this user said was funny
"Incidently heard from a gay mate that grown up lesbians can be very aggressive if hurt or wronged... so maybe she should pass on her story to some really butch lesbian types..."
I believe it still is the user right above me that said this, now its pretty funny.
I have nothing agaisnt gays or lesbians, I say do what makes you happy, no pun intended.
Now this is very stereotypical but I picture a group of women with mullets and plaid button ups cornering the skinny white boy that harrassed the original girl and beating the crap out of him.
As you can tell I watch too much Family Guy and Dane Cook.

My best friend is gay. I remember us going out clubbing a few years ago and him being bashed into a pulp. I tried everything to stop them, but at a short petite woman there was only so much I could do. It is so sad, how people treat others.
It made me cry for a long time.
Just talk to her like a normal person would. Make sure she is ok and be there to listen.
I wish I could tell you it won't happen again, sadly some people don't respect other people like they should.
xxxxx Merry Christmas.

as a lot of people already said, you just have to be there for her. tell her you'll be there if she needs to talk and that no one should ever be treated the way she was. if you can, convince her to go to the police or at least tell her parents. what will happen if they do that to someone else? but most likely, they already have. a lot of people would get scared if that happened to their friend and would distance themselves. that shows so much about you that you're still there for her and that nothing has changed. I hope everything turns out alright!

Keep in contact with her and be her friend
Tell her to learn self defence then carry out revenge attacks one by one...
Try martial arts like nijitsu as in ninja assasin or krav maga as in isreali specail forces or find anyone in the army etc
Cripple the guys and disfugure the girls
they are evil scum
Incidently heard from a gay mate that grown up lesbians can be very aggressive if hurt or wronged... so maybe she should pass on her story to some really butch lesbian types... who may give these scum types a taste of their own medicine... if they survive and se how they like picking on people who are their size or bigger and more even or out numbered odds
Who can leave notes with them for cops as to why they got battered ... as a just punishment for attacking and bullying others and the same will occur to anyone who tries it with any lesbian or gay person, or anyone else innocent and nice without just cause

Didn't her parents notice the bruises and bloody nose? Why didn't they contact the police if this actually happened? If that was my daughter I would call the police and sue their parents for everything they had for raising kids that are so bigoted that they think it is their right to punish someone for being gay. Just because someone is gay that is no reason to treat them different than any other human being.

I would say talk to her and comfort her. Sometimes thats all you can do, because you do not know her in real life.
Edit:
Oh I see, well what you should do is talk on an instant messaging system and get her to confide in you, so she can get all the pain out. Then with your support tell her to go to a police website for her county where she can report crimes.

She is afraid to tell someone because she feels violated and dosent know how to trust anymore. This is mostly true if this is the first time something like this has happened to her. One reason she diddn't tell her parents could be she diddn't trust them enough to tell them, diddn't want them to feel her, or she was to ashamed to. You should just be there for her and tell her you fell sorry for her and that if it is still troubling her she should maybe get some counseling. Or if this happened recently she needs to trust an adult and tell them what happened.

I myself don't understand what people have against gay people. I felt like crying when I read the story and I think she really needs to talk to her parents about what happened to her.
Make sure she is proud of who she is and not be affected by people who don't even understand sexuality.
I am not gay myself but I know alot of people who are and they are no different to anyone else.

Oh wow, that's nasty. The only thing you can really do is to try and convince her to report it, and, like Nikki said, email her daily. That's just sick. You could try telling her that if they do it to her and get away with it, they'll probably do it again, to her or someone else. Sorry, that's an awful situation to be in. Keep us posted, I hope she does the right thing.
