Answer 2

There's no harm in suggesting and at least it gives hope if needed.

Answer 3

Anyone who boasts about grooming young girls needs a different type of help.

Answer 4

it's nice for someone with no friends to have someone to talk to but meeting them in person is better.

Answer 5

no, it might be patronising.

But I know what you're saying and I probably feel the same as you. I think I'll just keep out of it.

Answer 6

Of course, though what they need is time with the remaining friends, and support.

Every situation is different, and requires different actions x

Answer 7

I don't know, I try not to jump on a bandwagon. I try to treat people how they treat me, but some of the things I've learned today make me wonder.

I'm actually speechless and well that just don't ever happen!!!

Answer 8

not if the person does not have to be alone and has friends out there who are concerned, ppl should realise that not everyone judges a book by its cover and that not all ppl judge the same and jump to conclusions without hearing both sides of the story. xx

Answer 9

yes of course it would be kind but seeing as you never really know a person you can't say they are virtually friendless or alone

there's a lot of strange people out there

makes you wonder don't it

Answer 10

I always thought it a little weird that a guy would want to use girly avatars. Other than that, I am not here all the time and have nothing to say about it. Especially since I am not part of your big email clique here.

Answer 11

I believe they may not want help.

We can't help anyone, even ourselves, if there is deception.

Answer 12

No - that is probably one of the nastiest things you could say.

The Samaritans is there for desparate people.
