Is it abuse if so what do i do?

MyFriend comes to school with some bruises every once in a while. She says she got in a fight with her parents but wont tell me if they hit her. Is this a sign that she has been abused. if so what do i do?

Maybe you should do what you totally DON'T wanna do. Talk to a counsellor or leave a note or something.
THEY WILL NOT TELL HER YOU TOLD.
I know this b/c I've been spoken about for variouse reasons and I've never known who spoke.

If your friend finds out there IS a possibility she might be mad at you for a bit. But it's worth it, I promise, and she'll get over it once she realizes that you told because you love her.

My email is on my page. Use it WHENEVER you need.

Firstly: You posted this in so many forums...Which is a big no no...

Secondly: If your friend does not want to discuss what happened to her with you. Then that is a big sign to stay out of it. You can encourage her to speak with you, by being there for her. But if she does not want to speak to you. Then leave her be.

Third: If you think she is abused, then you should speak to a counseller, and recommend her to the counseller.

Do what you think is right if you think some thing is wrong talk to somebody and get that checked out...

all i can say is my mom always tell me that a womens intuition ( that weird feeling you get when you think something is wrong ) is always right well atleast most of the time and you should never ignore it. do what you think is right like these others said.

I think you should talk to a councler about it, they will like said above not tell who it came from.. but they will check it out.
You must know however that not all people who get bruises are acctually being abused, they could be doing it to themselves, looking for attention. Now, this does not mean your friend is doing exactly that... but I'd get it sorted out... it'll make both your life and her life easier
