How can I help her?

So I just found out something I shouldnt have. I looked at an email on my mums email...she said to. and I found out something about one of my mates...who i have only meet once but we talk etc...our parents have known each other for ever and so he told my mum...
anyways what I found out is that on her 16th bday her friends got her drunk then gave her to a man who then took advantage of her. I dont know if i should say something or not..as she has been through so much already.

PLEASE HELP!!

^I agree with That One Guy.

Saying anything now will totally kill all trust she has in you already.

I know but I really dont want her to get even more depressed and go suicidle again =[

I know I cant do anything unless she asks for it, however I feel so helpless, sitting here knowing shes depressed. I feel like I'm waiting for her next suicide note.

I wish I never saw what I saw.

I agree. It's not any of your business to bring it up. If she wants to talk to you she will. Her depression is caused by what happened that night & she will remember that, you letting her know that you know what happened isn't going to lessen her feelings of it... The best thing that you could possibly do is just let her know that you are there for her if she ever needs to talk & then keep reminding her of that (but don't mention anything about that night or you knowing as that is not your place but rather just tell her that you know something is bothering her & you just want to be there for her).

She said to me the other day she needed to talk...and i said im open and i wont judge you and so on...and she went to say it then she just shutdown on me and bursted into tears...(this was on the phone) I just dont know what to do...she wants the help but shes scared.

^ And naturally she would be scared, even with your encouragement to be there for her, listen to her & not judge her. Just give her time & continue to be there for her.

Maybe you can hint towards it.

Sometimes the person doesn't even have to tell you for you to find out. I looked at my best friend and knew what had happened without her having to tell me. I was the only one who could do it because I knew what it looked like since I had been there too. And this was actually before we were best friends.

She probaly wants to tell you but is too afraid. And sometimes it takes someone else to say it for you for one to actually be able to open up. Howver, don't push it if she doesn't wish to talk about it. But telling her you know, from personal experience is not a bad thing.
