My friends mom died last year from cancer. She was extremly close yet only 12. She brought her moms locket with her to school last week for emotioonal support, it was silver with a picture of her and her mom it also had some of the ashes of her mom. At school someone took the locket out of her backpack. She is in hysterics by now becasue of the date and also becasue the missing locket the teacher was yelling at her for skipping class to look for it. What do i say and how can i help?

Maybe you can talk to the teacher and tell her exactly what went on. and just be there for her, and if you hear anything around school about the locket, I would talk to the principal to handle the matter, I hope she gets it back. some kids can be so cruel.

Post fliers around the school describing the locket and offer a (small) reward. Make it annonomous (no questions asked) return and give your name and info of who to contact. At least she'll know you're there for her and feel her pain.

Oh, how horrible. I think all you can do is be a good friend to her, listen to her, and let her have a few "bad days". Then try to lighten the mood. I'm not saying ignore the topic completely, but go out somewhere, have her over to your house for a sleepover, whatever. I lost my father and I know that the one year anniversary was hard- I am not sure anyone could have said anything to make it better. Just be a good friend and take care of her. She's lucky to have you. Also, was the theft reprted to the school? I wonder if you talked to someone in the office, maybe they could help figure out what happened and possibly recover it. THat is just such a terrible thing.

Just give her a hug and tell her you care. Keep your eyes and ears open about the locket. Someone may tell who got it. The teacher should have helped find it. Shame on teacher.

I feel so bad for your friend. Being there for your friend is great support. Also talk to the teacher, principal, the janitor and let the school office know about the locket in case it shows up then they'll know who to return it too. Talk to your school councilor they maybe able to talk to your friend about what she is going threw and help her coop with her grief. It is extremely hard to lose a loved one and I can't even imagine how hard this has been for her to lose her mother. Keep being the loving, supporting friend that you are. Hope the locket turns up! Good Luck!

Omg that is so sad! Well, i would definatly try comforting her during this time, since its probably very emotional to her. Just be comforting, and understanding. Maybe put up little posters around school asking everyone to look for it, and have a description of the locket, so people will be more aware of whats going on. I know it may sound a little weird, but it may help and it may show your friend that your really, truly care about finding it. As for the teacher, she needs to be a little more understanding. Maybe talk to the teacher for your friend, and explain everything to her. Maybe the teacher will even give an apology, and it may make your friend feel better..Well i hope i gave you some ideas. Hopefully the locket will be found!

Well, I want you to look at this in a different way.
When my Mom passed, I didn't want people to remind me of it and all I got was "I'm So sorry"

I had many people remind me that my Mom died every day.

Wow, I already knew that. I didn't want anyone to remind me.

My Mom passed from cancer.

Your friends mom died slow and painfully.

I know that's harsh but it is true.

There really are monsters out there and they hurt people bad.

Your friend saw one of the most important people in her life die slow and painful.

A year or 20 years...It doesn't matter. The pain remains.

Go to your principal. Tell her/him what's up.

If that doesn't work, go to your school board.

If that doesn't work, try your paper.

Then the Internet.

Then your congressman.

I'm not really that important here but I'll help if needed.


The MOST important thing you need to know is this.

A single person is a voice.

Many people become a chorus!

Sing.

OH, GOD ! THAT IS ONE OF THE MOST HORRIFIC THINGS I HAVE HEARD IN A LONG TIME !
I FEEL SO BAD FOR YOUR FRIEND, AND DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START.
LOVE HER AND SUPPORT HER. MAKE YOURSELF AVAILABLE TO HER WHENEVER / WHATEVER SHE NEEDS. GO BACK AND TALK TO THE TEACHER, AND EXPLAIN ABOUT THE LOCKET. MOST OF THEM WILL HAVE THE COMMON COURTESY TO BE ASHAMED OF THEIR POOR BEHAVIOR / REACTION.
TALK TO EVERYONE TO CAN (IF YOU KNOW THEM OR NOT) EXPLAIN ABOUT THE DEATH OF YOUR FRIENDS MOTHER, WHAT WAS IN IT AND THAT TO HAVE IT RETURNED WOULD BE SOOOOOOOO APPRECIATED ! SOME ALWAYS KNOWS SOMETHING. GO TO THE PRINCIPAL ON BEHALF OF YOUR FRIEND, AND EXPLAIN THE SITUATION ABOUT THE MOTHER, THE LOCKET AND IT'S THEFT, AND ABOUT THE MISSED CLASS IN SEARCH FOR IT. APPEAL TO HIM / HER TO INVESTIGATE. IF THE LOCKET SHOWS UP ON SOMEONE ELSE'S NECK, AT LEAST THE PRINCIPAL WILL BE ABLE TO CONFISCATE IT, BECAUSE HE /SHE ALREADY KNOWS OF ITS THEFT.

BEING A GOOD FRIEND, IS WORRYING ABOUT HER ENOUGH TO ASK FOR HELP, EVEN IF IT'S ON THE INTERNET. BEING KIND WHEN YOU DON'T WANT TO BE, AND LISTENING WHEN YOU WOULD RATHER NOT. SHE NEEDS HUGS AND ATTENTION AND A GOOD LISTENER, THAT IS WHAT YOU CAN DO.

MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU AND YOUR FRIEND, RELIEVE YOUR BURDENS AND SORROWS, RELIEVE HER GRIEF AND RESTORE THE GOOD MEMORIES, AND MAY HE RETURN TO YOUR FRIEND HER TREASURE. AMEN

just be a true friend to her, when she needs to cry let her cry and try to comfort her as best as you can.Also try talking to her and tell her to remeber the good times that she and her mother had together. I really hope that she can find the locket I know hope much it means to her. Shame on the person that took it.

Please don't say anything. Also, there is really nothing that you can help. I'm serious.
2007-02-20 5:14 am
Just be there for her to support her. It's very hard time for her and she needs your friendship and support.

The only thing you can do is to be by her side and give her your shoulder when she needs it. And pray and hope that she gets it back
