Dear Anyone,

I recently told my mom that my best friend "Sam" (14) is having anal and oral sex. I know my mom owes it to my friend's mom to tell her about it, but that's not what I'm worried about. My friend's dad is old-fashioned, sexist, and a homophobe. I'm afraid of what he's going to do to her (and the boy) when he finds out. What can I do?

P.S. The boy lives walking distance from her house.

Afraid for Best Friend

WHAT'S YOUR ADVICE?

Vote for Option A   
A:  Persuade your mom not to tell Sam's mom. For Sam's parents, ignorance is bliss.
Vote for Option B   
B:  Make your mom promise that she'll only tell Sam's mom on the condition that nothing is said to Sam's dad. That should protect Sam.
Vote for Option C   
C:  Leave it alone and hope for the best. It's out of your control now, honey.
Vote for Option D   
D:  Next time, keep your mouth shut. When you blab your best friend's secrets to your mom, don't you think the word's gonna get out?
