Urgent need of help with a girl!!?

This girl at school has a big problem and out of all people she came to me for help (and im probably not the best person to ask for help)

here is the problem

She is 16

Her parents are divorced, her dad has gone through 2 wives and is on his 3rd wife, She thought that the wife he had before was her blood mother. She went to New York for a week and her real blood mother who she had no idea existed called her and talked to her in New York over the phone, she was shocked that this was hidden from her all these years and the lady she called "mom" was not her real mother. Her father found her talking to her real mother over the phone and pulled off the phone line and told her that if he found her talking to her again he will kick her out of the house.

Now she is all sad and depressed and is coming to me for advice, she says she wants to run away from home when shes 18 to go and live in America. I believe that she is too young to make those decisions now, but i don't know what to tell her, Ive told her what i think she should do like, confront her dad but she is too scared.

She has always acted weird, she likes to talk behind peoples back and live in a fantasy world with imaginary boyfriends on facebook, i always thought she did this because she wanted to, but i think her family problems, having to go through divorce and having no female figure or real mother in her life is the cause of all her problems.

she kind of made me angry by making another fake boyfreind, i was going to ask her

" Why don't you ask your boyfriend, maybe he can help better than me". But that would be just wrong to say at this moment knowing that boyfriend does no exist.

can anyone help? she wants to talk to be tomorrow so i need to know what to say, i believe if i do help her solve this it would make the friendship even stronger.

  1. I would suggest she talk with another female teacher/counselor someone that can help her.  Running away is not the answer.  It is possible that her birth mother abandoned her and her father still resents her.  Or her birth mother made some very terrible decisions and felt she had no choice.  Maybe if she is that scared of her father he has issues such as controlling, manipulative, or abusive.  In this case a teacher or counselor can possibly help her.  Give her your support and maybe accompany her to the appointment.
