Is she being abused?

i know this girl at school who i talk to, but im not really friends with her. (we're 16)She has a very outgoing personality, and never seems down.but she has these bruises like everywhere. and she shows people saying she got it by someone throwing a ball at her, or someone poking her with their cell phone...i just thought it was weired that she has sooo many of them and has this like specific story when we asked her about them.but could she be getting abused? the whole situation seems weired to me, so should i tell someone about it, and if so who should i tell? i dont feel comfterable confronting her about it, because we arent that close.please help!

Answer:
the posibilty of her being abused by a love one seems likely in this situation. since you aren't really that close to her, and you dont want to seem like you're intruding in her business, you should go and tell a school counselor or teacher that maybe you both have in common-someone who can intervene. it's very common for an abused person to make excuses for bruises and shrug them off like no big deal to keep people from pressing the issue-either because they dont want the abuser to get into trouble, or they're scared of the consequences if they do tell. good for you for caring so much, even though she is not a close friend!

Just tell your school counselor or school social worker.

go tell, she doesnt have to know who told, but if she is being abused, she'll be happy someone did, tell a teacher, or something

i don't know. she might be but you should tell someone about it like a teacher or someone.

i think that you shouldn't go too far by confronting the police, but i think you should start out by maybe telling your teacher or guidance counselor, they know how to answer these situations the right way...hope you get an answer!!

You are a good person for caring about others. it really sounds like she is.. i would talk to ur school counsler or someone else u feel conferable around (parents teachers etc.)

she probably is and the reason she cts confident is because she has low self esteem. maybe you could tell your guidance counselor. it will help her in the wrong one, but ask your guidance counselor to be anonymous.

There could be other reasons too.Such as her health like hemophilia, diabetes etc.She could be epileptic and have seizures. By all means talk to your teacher or school councilor about it.
