Help For My Friend

[Six_Stringed_Demon]

i have a friend, she is a Muslim and lives with her parents and she is 17. However her father is trying to force her to go to an uni in Egypt, which she doesn't want to do at all. She feels she cannot live her life, and she is merely existing to please her father. She really made him to out to be so harsh, apparantly she is not allowed out because of the posability of catching SARS



Anyway the only way she can escape being forced to go to this uni in Egypt is to stand up to her father, but she doesn't feel stong enough, (i am in England by the way) does anyone know any support numbers / websites she can contact in order to get professional help to stop her father doing this?



I am scared that soon i will lose a friend as she will go to Egypt as to not disapoint her family. She was in absolute tears about it all she doesn't want to go at all.



Any help is appreciated. Thanks
