I dont have problems... I was born with them, and I've grown to like them. No problem darlin', hope your friend is ok. <3

the first line was generally to everybody.

but yeh, thanks!

Seems like my situation pretty much, apart from the physical abuse part.

Only sometimes though.

Its not very nice.

It's still best to take everones advice first though as he seems like he really loves his mum.

I think it's 16, with your parents permission.

Tell him to ring up childline or some councillor person at school

Or just have 1 - 1

At the end I saw you said she having an operation. Maybe the build up to it has stressed her out and makes her feel this way. This is still no excuse for her behaviour. The only option I would suggest, but I wouldn't do it myself is to call the Child Line. It would be a big decision and a hard one to make. I do hope the problem gets resolved and everything is ok in the near future for your friend. :8

If you have serious concerns then you can contact the NSPCC or ChidLine yourself and explain the situation. Failing that you could see whether or not he would be willing to talk to somebody at school about it, a member of staff, as I think I am right in saying that the school has a legal obligation to follow it up or pass the information on to the relevant authorities.

atat paul. i would but it might ruin our friendship.

and @ elliot.. its been like this for years aparently

and @ andeh, 1-1 dont work.

but ive spoken to him. hes said to his spoken to his mum saying he is going to call the child line if things dont get better. he has all the numbers and all the advice and is going to speak to them tomorrow about what would happen.

so thanks.

personally, i'd keep out of it.

he asked me to help. thats why im helping.
