My friend was raped, but she's acting happy. How can I help?

Answers:

OK, I've read all of the answers to this awful question but I believe that this girl needs help. I agree and disagree with the panel's answers.

"Been there, and done that" is my story. Except I stayed with the guy and it went from rape on to many other things.

Possible Manic Depression

This girl is feeling violated and doesn't know how to feel. She doesn't want anyone to know about it so she is covering up her feelings and hiding them from people. This shows signs of a possible manic depression.

She needs to talk to someone that can help her deal with her feelings, maybe as the friend you should talk to your parents and get advice from them on what to do in this situation. They will more than likely want to talk to this friend. If she is not really close with your parents, then talk to a trusted adult, teacher, counsellor, help lines, etc. Ask them what to do about the situation.

Tell an Adult

As much as she may not think she needs help, she really does. And although you really want to see her helped, you can't force her to do anything that she doesn't want to do. My biggest advice is tell someone, an adult that can be trusted, and try to keep the lid on the whole situation. She may be mad at you for telling someone, but this guy has to be dealt with.

Eventually she will get in touch with her true feelings about this issue and realize that you being her best friend, did what you had to do.

She Will Forgive You for Getting Involved

Jeannie

Her friend will not forgive her.

She will forgive you and you will be friends again. Just remember you are involved now, it's going to be a bumpy ride and you are going to have to help her go through it, whether she wants you there or not.
