Answer 1

hmm its hard with people like that because you dont know what theyre going to try to do to you in response. but i definitely think you need to take the high road - you dont want her to drag you down with her. maybe encourage her to talk to someone about her self harm.thats really bad. you can tell her you would like to go with her to help her get some proffessional help or even tell her parents. but if she doesnt accept the help then yes i think yo need to fend for yourself.

Answer 2

Self harming is usually a cry for attention. Does she have a bad home life? Were you her only friend? If you are not friends anymore the best thing you can do is inform an adult like a teacher or counselor..sometimes people hurting is too much for a young girl like yourself to cope with.
