Talking to Eric & Sarah

       If I could talk to Eric I would tell him he needs to find out what's wrong with Sarah and needs to not pressure her into telling him, even if he is her best friend and has been with her for awhile it doesn't mean he can just go and ask her about it.
        What he wants to ask is a very touching subject. Also, he should try to find out more about her mom to see if she is passed away or if she just up and left like Sarah thinks she did because Sarah doesn't think her mom loves her anymore. Then, go and talk to her dad and find out what he really did to Sarah when she was 3 and he must be careful cause if he drinks and is always angry Eric will have to be careful so that Sarah's dad wont hurt him.
         I would also go with him to talk to Sarah and find out more about herself and understand more about wanting to be in the hospital for a month and not talk, and I would ask why not tell the protection services because if she is that scared that she needs to fake not talking for a month and doctors saying something is wrong with her brain she just might need to talk to someone who doesn't talk down to her.Also, I would go with Sarah and help her find out what is wrong by actually listen to her and that by staying quiet won't really help with the problem
