I know I shouldn't be mentioning this but I didn't know where else to turn, especially with anonymity. Last night my friend went to a pajama party (I guess it was more of a graduation party since she's graduating a semester early from high school) and after a certain point, she stopped texting me. Late in the night, she finally responded with a snapchat of her crying. She told me that she was with 4 guy friends in the woods afterwards & they started touching & grabbing her & one guy even tore her top off. I was pissed off at them & told her she should report them but she said she wouldn't since she didn't even try to stop them & thinks there's something wrong with her.
She said nothing else happened but she doesn't want to talk about it anymore & I don't want to piss her off or make her mad but I don't know what else to do if she doesn't report them...I'm even more afraid if she decides to forgive them & keep hanging out with them but I just don't know what to do without pushing her too far. Please help

That's sexual assault, there's no way around that. If she's sending you snapchats of her crying, you know that there's something wrong. If nobody tells anyone, then what's stopping those guys from doing that again, and to a more serious degree? As her friend, you need to do whatever you can to help her. Talk to her, convince her to tell someone, because what those guys did was wrong. Talk to your friend and tell her why she needs to tell someone. If she's stubborn about it, tell her parents. What those people did to your friend are wrong and if you really care about your friend, you would do what's best for her.

You're probably right...I've never met her parents since we've only been friends for a short time (our relationship started out as a mutual, possible-dating interest in each other, if that makes sense). I hope she doesn't hate me for it but I don't want this to happen to her again. If I can't convince her to tell someone then I'm going tell her that I'm telling her parents, whether she wants me to or not. I know what it's like to keep things bottled up inside & it hurts like hell...I won't let anyone else make the same mistake
