Hi Tishie, I try really hard to never give advice...but, I am going to now. If the teenager is in danger--sexually, physically or emotionally--I would do whatever it takes to help them. Talk with the teen but if need be, talk with the parents too. When I was a teen I was "befriended" by an older man. It lead to years of abuse. At the time, I did not realize it was abuse--I thought he loved me. In reality, he was just using me. I wish a parent or adult would have stepped in and helped me. It would have saved a lot of heartbreak. Of course, I would have been resistant and resentful at the time...because I was being manipulated by the man...but it would have been for my own good.

You are in a difficult situation...follow your heart and do what you think is right.
