Mature readers on please?

Question

What would you think/do? You were talking to a shy, quiet, college girl that you always thought was sort of strange & you wanted her to open up to you. After years of trying, she tells you she was raped 2x when she was 14.

Answer 1

Yes, absolutely be there for her. But also do some research on your own about what resources are available in your area - what types of supports, services, counselling, etc - for people with her specific issues. This way, if she comes to you looking for specific help, you will know right away where she can go to get it.

Answer 2

Well, she obviously trusts you to open up like that to you...so I would just be there and supportive of her if she choses to discuss it further.

Answer 3

she trusts you, keep her talking but do not mention the rape, let her talk to you about it, do not mention it let her.  

Answer 4

just be there for her since she confides in you

Answer 5

Just be there for her. Listen to what she says and understand she probably has trust issues and the fact that she opened up to you is a big deal.
