Question

Shannon, she has been my friend for exactly 5 years. I've stood up for her when Heather started a rummer about her. I beat up Michel's brother for thronging a Gatorade bottle into her back. I helped her through a situation with this guy how was trying to get lucky with her, and has always been there for her. And I know everything about her, and I know that she doesn't have a stable personality. What I mean is, She is so easy to change, and I've avoided doing that for 5 years!

Well, just this last year, I made a new friend, she absolutely is the best person I've ever befriended! No offense to Shannon. I didn't make that clear to her. I still spent time with both of them and treated them the same. But after awhile Shannon became more distant with me. That bothered me, but I didn't let it show.

I saw her with a girl named Sara. When I was younger, she was the biggest b**** ever! and i say her with Shannon. I tried to tell shannon what kind of person Sara was, but she didn't listen.

Anyway, remember how I said Shannonch was changeablegable. Well Sara went through this emo phase, cutting her wirsts, makeing people feel bad for her. then, the pricaple found out, then she started cutting her ancles. Shannon copied. i tried to talk her out of it, but it didn't work, Sara was her leader.

It's been a mouth now, and I recive a call. Someones crying, It's Shannon. She told me she finaly found out Sara was talking c**p about her. I told her that I warned her, and we became closer again.

You think it's over, happy-ever-after? Well your wrong, Another phone call, screaming this time, Shannon. "I'm gonna kill myself" she wispered, coaking on her tears, and then she hug up. I called back, trebling that she was serious. I called my mom to tell her what was going on, but she didn't answer, i didn't have time to tell anyone. I tried her phone again, and she answered. I tried to be calm and ask her what was going on, and she only said she was sorry.

I don't know what to do. She can't keep doing this to me! I want to tell her mom, but she never answers her phone. I need some good advice, something that will keepher alive! please help me!

Answer 1

I think you should see your school counselor....that way everyone can meet in a safe environment and there is complete confidentiality...(unless the threat to harm herself or others is evident and in that case, the counselor will seek outside help)

Answer 2

Honey, you've gone above & beyond to help your friend, done EVERYTHING in your power to help Shannon.  This is just way too much for you to handle on your own, & you shouldn't have to anymore.  The reason I'm saying this is because she needs professional help, & she needs is NOW...I would advise you to go look in the yellow pages of your phone book & call the Suicide Hot line No. Just tell them briefly about Shannon & make sure they understand this girl needs help NOW.  These people are trained to help & know what to do.  Tell them you know she is serious & you are afraid for her.  Ask them to do what ever they have to do to help her this time & that they'd better respond & do something now because you are really afraid she means it this time.  Tell them to do whatever they have to do to help her NOW & you're trusting them & putting her in their hands for you.  You can't help her anymore, & you've done everything anyone of any age can do for her. She needs serious professional help and you can no longer be expected to help her.  I'm going to let you go now so you can make this call for her,  This w/be the ONLY way you can help her.  You are the BEST FRIEND anyone could ever want to have.  Bless you, honey, MAKE THAT CALL NOW...:)  PS...if you need my help, click on my picture & you can email me direct if you have to.  I'm here for you too.

Answer 3

Find a proffessional to act. This is not your responsibility and someone needs to intervene. If no one knows then your friend will not get the help she needs and this situation is likely to esculate.

Respect to you for your level of friendship and I hope it all works out.

Answer 4

Get off the internet and go tell SOMEONE!! the girl needs help. she may get angry at you for telling but that would be better than never seeing her again!! They send people away for making such threats, but they need it! HELP HER!
