    Question

    My best friend is going through posttraumatic stress from losing her virginity for the first time under assault (the guy was sober but forced her to take a drink). How can I approach an adult when I know this topic is really against my religion?

    Answer

    I am so sorry for your friend, and for you. Please call RAINN with her -- 1.800.656.HOPE and visit http://www.rainn.org. They provide free and confidential support and answers 24/7. The quicker she talks to someone the better she will fell! She needs to know she is not alone!
