***MOD*** I'm in DESPERATE need of a second opinion right now. My friend (15 years old) has had the toughest time as of late with just life and stuff. Her parents have done some pretty crazy things for her "own good" that even I have to agree are a stretch. But now, she's told me that she wants to run away with her boyfriend. This isn't just some random guy though, they've dated for almost two years and they are really in love. However, I KNOW that running away isn't the answer!!! There is no way for them to support themselves and they will cause major heartbreak (me included). She trusts me more than anyone else and only told me because I'm the only one she trusts. However, I know this isn't right and I'm HATING the situation I'm in right now because no matter what I say I feel like I'm talking to a wall. Did I mention I'm really stressed already to begin with so now this is putting me on edge?!!? What do I DO? HELP!!!

Hey girlfriend, you're right, running away is defintely not the answer! We defintely need to get her some help, maybe you could refer her to your school counselor. She probably needs to get away from her family, so see if she can spend some weekends with you, because you seem like you're a pretty positive influence in her life. Whenever you get the chance try to talk her out of it. Hope this helps ya!!!

i think my older sis is anorexic.and im also angry because shes always been thin, even wen she did eat, and ive always been the bigger one, the uglier one, the one who doesnt get any guys, and it seems as if im more confident than HER, and theres been countless times ive cried myself to sleep becuz of tht, but i wood NEVER become anerexic just cuz ive gained a lil weight, also, my sis has (or had) depression, n wen she was 13 or 14 she started cutting, and i think she stopped, and now shes 16, shes gorgeous, shes thin, she has big boobs, and a hot bf, and SHES anorexic, im just so angry, sad, confused, worried, idk to break down and cry or scream in her face and knock her out, what am i supposed to do?!?!?

Hey girly! It sounds like you have a really good head on your shoulders, which I'm very glad to hear. As for your sister, though, you definitely need to talk an adult about this and let them know what's going on with her. Try talking to your parents about it. Show them the site and let them know how worried you are. If you can't talk to them, I'd talk to an aunt or uncle, a grandparents, or even a friend's parent that you trust. Also, guidance counselors at school would know what to do. The bottom line is, your sister needs help before this gets any worse.

Hey, girlie. I totally know how you're feeling right now. My family did foster care for about four years before we adopted my eight-year-old sister. I'm not going to lie, it was hard getting used to having another sibling besides my brother, and having to share my parents attention between 3 people, but it got easier. So whatever your parents decide, hang in there. It will all work out.
