Re: Friend in Gang in Morocco

Post by EquALLity »

I've been avoiding the person in the gang, and talking about a possible solution to getting her out with some other friends. Yesterday, I told one of my other friends for the first time, and she totally blew it off. She said that the other person was probably lying about the gang, and that if it was true, that she didn't even really care, because it's in Morocco. :?

No idea what's up with the "It's alright because it's in Morocco" thing. Maybe she was just blinded by her feelings for her friend or something.

Then, I got online this morning, and saw I had some messages from the person allegedly in the gang.

She sent me:
"Hey I've got something HUGE to tell you about the gang! Are you ready for this? Really ready?"
"So first of all, send me a picture of what you think our gang looks like (could be drawn, from google images, etc)"

And like a minute or two after I got on, she sent:
"Oh wait nvm"

And then she told me that she left the gang.
"It's weird for me to be in it when I'm not even in the continent"
"plus they were all asking me out"

How coincidental that she has just decided to leave, right after I was talking to that other friend who disagreed for the first time. :P
Hm... My friend mentioned telling some people at the school or her parents, but I explained that that probably isn't a good idea. So even though we didn't decide to do that, the idea was thrown out there. Maybe that girl who disagreed told her about that conversation, and she got nervous. I'll have to ask her about that (the one who disagreed). There's no guarantee that she'll tell the truth though (of course). >.<

Options:
a) She was never in a gang.
b) She left the gang.
c) She's in the gang (and lying).

If it's b, that's great (maybe since she was likely ethically blinded by being close to people in the gang before, she was in denial she was doing horrible things, and now it's possible to convince her those things are wrong), but unfortunately, that seems to be the least likely of the options.

If a is true, she lied multiple times, but at least she wasn't terrorizing eight-year-olds.

If c is true, then she's horrible.

What do you guys think?

Again, I'm not so sure that you can trust her, you did say that she has a history of lying. If it is true, than that's good I guess. But if she goes to Morocco every summer here is a chance the gang probably wouldn't react so well to her leaving the gang. I guess if she disappears in Morocco you know what happened.

Well, according to her, they did it on Facebook, and the gang was just like:
"Are you sure?"
And when she said yes:
"Are we still friends?"

So she's still friends with these people, she's just not in the gang. If this story is true, that is.

I asked my friend who disagreed whether or not she talked to the person allegedly in the gang, and she said that she did. She said that she didn't tell her that my friend and I mentioned telling parents/school counselors when I asked, though. She said that they talked on Face-time for an hour, and that she finally convinced the other person to leave the gang, saying we were worried.

Not sure what I believe about all of this.
