I'm her brother and we're still in school, but on summer break. Lately she's been telling me a month ago her "friend" mom threatened to sue her on Facebook even though she said a few insults to her daughter! (they weren't getting along) My sister has been worried about this ever since and lately she's been acting very different and lonely. She tells me that stuff doesn't happen more, but I don't understand what's bothering her. Maybe summer boredom? We don't get out much. Nothing I say works so I'm asking you guys for some advice. She refuses to tell our parents :(
She sounds scared more than depressed. Involve your parents. This is not nearly as serious as you might think. If your parents talk to this friend's parents it can most likely be worked out.
If it was serious facebook threats or bashing...the mother is trying to scare your sister to stop her behavior. It has been in the news alot and it can cause problems like teen suicide.
Involve adults. That is all I can really recommend.
Jody is a Nurse with a lot of experience with kids, I hope your sister gets everything sorted out, She is lucky to have a caring brother like you !
