HELP EXTREMLY IMPORTANT (not a guy)

Hi everyone.

So there is this new girl at work and i've just became friends with her last month. But there's something weird going one. For the past few weeks when ever she comes to work she has these bruises on her arms and when ever i ask her about it she'll pull her sweater down and make up a excuse like she fell or hit the door. And the other day we where late getting out and her dad was picking her up and she just looked at me and it was kind of a scared look, but her dad looked even scarier like a abusive type. So I'm scared that she's getting physically beat at home, and i want to help her i just don't know what to do. I'm scared that if i ask her and that's not the case she'll get offended or if it is the case she'll deny it and never talk to me again.

What should i do?

If she doesn't want to talk its either she is scared or maybe she doesn't want help.

i think you should build trust with her first and then easily ask her these things...She probably does not want to trust any1 with the things she is going through...

You are doing a good deed by taking concern...but really, try to build a stronger relationship and be extremely nice to her so she can trust you, then she might open up..

Your a good person,

Nisha, sometimes however much we want to help, we are quite helpless until the other person understands that there IS a problem. So for now, I suggest that you just be there for her as much as you can. Try to get her to talk, but don't force her if she doesn't want to.

I think its really sweet of you to worry about her.

As everyone else said I think you need to hang out with her more and get to know her so she learns to trust you because I doubt she would wanna tell somebody what goes on in her life just after talking a few tiems so you need to try to talk to her & once she realizes that you are trying to help, I think she will come out on her own and tell you...If she really is getting abused I think you should let her know that she needs help. Let the police take care or call someone else that you know would be helpful :)

You could invite her over to your house it's best to get her away from that kind of environment if possible.

Assure her there is nothing to be afraid of she is working and I'm guessing can support herself. She can get a restraining order from the abuser if she wishes. Tell her its best to get away from him in this case.

like everyone saidd be the best friendd..................and just be there for her...
