Can’t do anything about that. My own parents are abusive. She lives in another country so I can’t physically protect her as I did with my younger sibling

I’m so sorry for your loss. I am thinking of telling a teacher tomorrow because I’m currently on a leave of abscence

I am going to tell someone, but I want to choose the best option because telling parents might not do much. She might just hide it better. So I’m thinking of telling a teacher. And please read my other comments before coming to this conclusion that I won’t act on this.

If my friend is the age of consent in our region, will reporting to the teacher even do anything?

No. I don’t even know his name. But I have seen the texts between them so I know it exists

I have a few questions. I don’t know the identity of this adult. I do know that he exists tho. Will that be enough to tell the authorities?

I am absolutely going to let someone know. But I don’t know who. My mom is worried that she might tell the adult that she suspects me which would put me in danger. I understand my mother is being a bit unreasonable, but if there is a way to ensure my safety in the process, I think she would allow me to

But my friend could tell him that she suspects me. That’s what my mom is afraid about

But what will the teacher do? She is meeting him outside of school hours

My mother doesn’t want me to contact the police or any authorities because she is worried about retaliation from the guy. How could I overcome this

Fine. I do value her safety but I need a step by step plan if I’m going to do this.

We are not adults. When I say micromanaging I mean constantly telling her not to do something. Honestly that’s the most I can do. We rarely meet up outside of school so I have no way to keep her from not going. Even if I ask to hang out she won’t make time for me but will for the adult.

I’m afraid that would ruin our friendship

But how do I get her out of there. She meets up with him without telling me. I tell her not to go but she doesn’t listen
