I can imagine that navigating this situation might have felt isolating, especially if you're feeling that no one else is sharing your worry. You mentioned that the trusted adult of you and your friend now lives across the world. May I ask who this person was to the both of you? Our advise here would be for you to encourage your friend to open up to someone else she trusts such as another trusted adult family member, or a trusted adult professional, such as a teacher, GP, or a Helpline such as Childline for instance. How do you feel about this? Do you feel like your friend might feel comfortable enough to open up? In terms of further advice and support, some of the following organizations may be able to support your friend: https://shoutlink.info/safelinehttps://www.childline.org.uk/https://www.themix.org.uk/explore-our-topics/sex-and-relationships/age-of-consent-in-the-uk/https://www.beateatingdisorders.org.uk/get-information-and-support/get-help-for-myself/i-need-support-now/helplines/ How does that sound? How are you coping personally too at this time?
