Answer #1

just be there for her mate im going throught the same sorta thing with my best mate you just have to be there for her no matter what she says cause deep down she doesnt mean to upset you, just hang in there nad be there for her

Answer #2

maybe instead of a suprise attack tell her your hugging her or something before doing it…maybe that will reduce the bouncing back motion.You HAVE to tell someone if someone’s getting abused, everyone has hte right to feel safe within a community. Sign her up with female selfdefence programs and if she doesn’t feel confortable going alone go with her even tho your not a female just to support her. If all else fails restraining order xD

Answer #3

I told her parents and they called the cops

Answer #4

Find an adult you trust, tell them what is going on and ask for help.

Answer #5

good for you mate,she mite think it was the wrong thing for you to do but it was the right thing you chose to do for hersake
