Friendship Problems Please Help!! ?

Question

my best friend used to cut and she told me she was done but then I found out she was cutting again, her dad passed away and her mom left her and her dad when she was a baby and when her dad passed her uncle and aunt got her and, her uncle is her dad's brother and he's an alcoholc. I'm worried tis upcoming school year will be the same as last, her cutting and stuff like that, she doesn't look like she does that stuff she's always smiling and laughing, but I know what she's really feeling and what she has to go through, I don't want to her to cut and I don't want her to cry when she goes home, and think she's worthless, should I tell my parents or will this just make things worse for her?

Answer 1

always let her know you are there and get intouch with some support networks

Answer 2

tell your guidance counselor, and then she won't know you told.  Her counselor will act like she figured it out.

Answer 3

My friend also cuts herself, and everybody knows about it. They tease her, espically the prep boys in our class. My other friends want to ditch her, but im not that kind of person, She always smiles and is a very nice perosn, her parents are divorced and always fight. We told our teacher and they are going to help her, So i think you should tell your parents or a teacher.She might be cross with you for a while, trust me i know, But she will come around again and she will be thankful :) Think of your friend like i did :)

Its good your recognize beyond what she's showing.

Make sure she knows you are there. That your willing to listen and get through these things with her, so she's not alone. A lot of times, that's the feeling they get, that they are alone in the world, so make sure she knows that you love her and will help her nay way you can.

To actually take action, invite her over after school more often, invite her over to for sleepovers and stuff like that. that way if she needs to get out of the house she has an excuse and doens't need to ask. she may be too shy to admit she needs help.

The main thing I think is to be there for her, and definitely most importantly encourage her not to hurt her self.  Tell her that it doens't just hurt her, that she's hurting you as well. something like that, but make sure she knows your not okay with it.

Good luck and just be the best possible friend you can be right now! :)

Answer 5

You could maybe call suicide anonymous and tell them that story and they could give you advice on how to help her. Always be there for your friend and tell her how much you care and love her, and what a great person she is. Make her feel loved and important especially when her family doesn't.
