how can i help my friend?
my friend is 13 and she cuts herself on the wrist but not too deep though which is a good thing but i don't like too see her doing that kind of stuff. i know she doesn't like hearing or others telling her to stop and why she shouldn't do that kind of stuff but im her friend and i want to help get over this whole thing and the reason why she's doing this, she tells me everything which makes me even more worried because i know what she's doing but she wont let me help her which is frustrating for me. she says she doesn't like life and it sucks and that she doesn't like her family either but i have been trying to show her that life isn't all that bad and it doesn't suck but she just wont listen i don't know what to do. i can't just leave her.
if you have got any ideas on how to help or anything please tell me thanks and is this normal (if you ask me helping a friend is normal but what friend is doing to her/him self isn't normal)
They will give her all the help she needs. Minus knives, shoe laces, etc.
If she is truly cutting to bear with the emotional pain she needs professional help and you should tell her school counciler, you can do that annonymously.
#2 Talk to him/her.
#3 Talk to a counciler about how you feel.
#4 Get councilor to force-talk to her.
#5 Hang on, it gets hard, this person may hate you at the time, but in the end they'll thank you.
THIS IS NOT A JOKE, I've been through it, I CRIED. Don't be afraid to cry and talk about it. I know how it feels.
