My friend and I got back from work really really late. They were short on people so we had to work from 8am-12am. Crowd was rough. But the weather sucked. My friend, Ang, went home and I went home to rest and we were soaking wet from the rain. I think or know that she was a bit cranky. I think her papi was too. But half an hour later she asked me to come over for a while at like... 2 am and she had this ugly looking bruise on her arm and she was crying. She said she was arguing with her dad and said no to him and he punched her in the arm and she swung back at him. And he left. And she said she took one of those little blue glasses that are square shaped and she grabbed one of her dad's alcohol bottles and poured it in their and drank the whole thing. I know this is bad because she's only 15\. Only a month younger than me the girl has already lost her mind. I know her dad freaks out sometimes. She shouldn't take that from him since she bruises easily but still. She didn't have to drink the nasty stuff. And now ONCE AGAIN she another friend is at my house sleeping in my room. I don't mind having my friends sleepover when they're on trouble but I feel like a nanny or something. I'm worried about her though. She said it burned her throat but tasted kind of good. Even though it's ILLEGAL. I told her she should call child services or something but she doesn't want to. She hates her dad of course. Her mom is sick so she can't do much. Her dad doesn't hate her though he spoils the kid. Labtop, phone, cell phone, flat screen tv, aircondition, ipod, ipod attachment, two cats and a dog, sweet fifteen on a yot,... I'll stop now. But not to mention her bedroom is 5x bigger than mine. I could live in her closet. lol But I'm still worried about her. First cutting, then sexual interaction with that dirty no good two bit cent bum, and now drinking? Jeez she's not 19 or something. I love her as a sister and a best friend but I don't know what else to do.

Sexual interaction with her dad you mean? :scream_cat:
It sucks but I dont think there is much you can do, save inform child services yourself. If its anything like the UK system then your friend wouldnt have to find out that it was you who reported whats going on. Thats a better option than letting your friends take advantage of your kindness when there is specially trained people out there who really know what to do. It woudlnt hurt for you to speak to child services, find out what they potentially could do, before giving them any details. I know you shoulnt have to be the one doing that, but it would be better all round ultimately, because you have to think about the pressure that YOU are getting from this, aswell as your friend.
Good luck.

No man or boy should ever hit a girl even if its her own father or boyfriend. That right there has crossed the line. you just don't hit girls. Tell her to join one of those programs that teach you how to protect yourself if need be. Maybe finally her father will get the message whenever he tries to hit her again.

Sorry,but i just gotta say that hitting girls is no worse than hitting guys!both are just as wrong!ok,i'm done now.
ok,abi.if your friend isn't going to call child services,then,unfortunatly,its up to you. -
I know this isn't really the point, but you were working from 8 in the morning to midnight? Thats 16 hours, not only is that quite illegal, but there are laws preventing minors from working past a certain time, nevermind laws preventing anyone from working for that long. I don't think getting paid overtime is worth that.
