I really need help.
The people who moved into my old house have a daughter who is in 3rd grade and best friends with my 3rd grade sister. She came to school and had a brush mark on her side, as well as her mothers mark on her shoulder. Whever the girl (Emily) does the slightest thing, she is beaten with a brush. Its so sad! Please help!

Hi, it all depends really, does this girl seem happy? Does she get scared when she talks about 'mummy'?? If so then you should tell your mum/dad/caregiver. What's happening to her isn't fair especially at her age I know what violence is like and I know that I didn't have the guts to tell anyone so really you would be doing her a favor. Also, does she ever say that mummy hurts her?? And how bad are the bruises?? If she does you and ur caregiver should go straight to the police..
I hope this helps a bit, please tell me how it goes

To Brooke:
I kinda have this problem. There is this girl at school. Everyone makes fun of her. But shes my new friend. People bully her. When I hang out with her people say really mean stuff about her. Should I [stay friends] with her? My mum says I [should] but I don't know...

Hey there!
Well, here's the thing. Do you like her? If you like her, then there should be no problem. Does it matter what they say? Make sure to stand up for her. It's hard to be bullied. Ditching her would make her life even harder. As long as you like her, that's fine. If you don't like her at all, and if she says some things that upset you or does some things that she shouldn't, that's probably the only reason you should leave her. If you like her, forget about what they bullies say. And if you truly are for her, make sure to stand up for her.
