You tell Lowell that you're sorry this is happening to him. You explain that this isn't his fault — he has the right to decide if and when he wants to have sex, and Ivy should respect that. Lowell responds, "Thanks for saying that. But it's really not a big deal. She's a good person. I just need to be better about setting boundaries." What would you say to Lowell next?

>> I appreciate you sharing this, and you deserve to be treated better. Do you want to talk about it more, or I can help connect you to someone on campus to talk to? That's probably true. Everyone wants something different out of relationships, and you know about your relationship better than I do, so you're probably right. Do you know what Ivy is doing is a crime? You should report it so that she doesn't do it to other people.

You empathize with Lowell, saying that his situation sounds serious. Then you ask him how he feels about it. He says, "Well, it's definitely annoying. It's more than annoying, actually. But then again, it's my fault for just going along with it, you know? I guess I just give in because it's easier." How would you respond to Lowell?

>> I'm really sorry to hear this, and I want you to know that it's definitely not your fault. You have the right to decide if and when you want to have sex, and Ivy should respect that. You shouldn't just go along with it. It kinda sounds like she's not respecting your wishes and forcing you to have sex with her. If I were you, I'd report it. Are you sure you're being clear with her? That just doesn't sound like something Ivy would do.

Can I use your phone to call her?" Chris is obviously still interested in pursuing Sara. How could you respond to his request?

>> Nope. She obviously doesn't want you to contact her. Be respectful and stop trying. Honestly, you're going too far, and you could get yourself in trouble. You know there's a way to keep your number from showing up when you call her, so you can avoid the block, right? Why don't you just do that?

Lowell has always been one of your more outgoing friends. He plans weekend road trips and organizes lots of events. But lately, he's been a bit disengaged, so you ask how he's doing. Lowell seems a little embarrassed, but then says, "Things are going pretty well with Ivy, but sometimes she does this weird thing when she's drunk. She'll get really aggressive and insistent about having sex even if I'm really tired, or not in the mood, or even if I straight up say 'no.' I think she might have a drinking problem." What would you say to Lowell?

>> That sounds pretty serious. How do you feel about it? That sounds like rape, you should report her to the school. Yeah, people do weird things when they're drunk. Maybe you should get her some help.

Look, suicide threats are really serious, so he needs to talk to a qualified person immediately; there are resources available to support him." "That's super serious. Was he always depressed or have you been having more relationship stress lately?" "I'm sorry this is happening, but we've talked about this before — remember what we said about you being firm about leaving? I care and really don't want you to have to go through this situation over and over again."
