I'm 15 years old and I have a problem. I need 2 know what 2 do before I end up going to 2 funerals.I have this 1 friend that is a cutter and she almost killed herself 3 times in the past year. She has a friend who is also a cutter and has also attempted suicide 3 times in the past year. As fishy as it sounds they did not decide upon it together, but I'm worried about them. Neither of them have ever gotten help 4 it and I think they're both getting out of control. I myself am also a self injurer, but I am ,most of the time, in control of it. I am not addicted 2 it;however, they are. I think they need help, but they don't seem 2 think that it is as bad as it seems. Please give me some advice on what 2 do.

What I would do is get in contact with someone like a doctor or help line or something about it and fast before something bad does happen, I had a friend who was exactly the same and with a bit of help he got though it.
I hope it turns out the same for your friends.
And remember to stay supportive of them and help them though it as much as you can.

You're not going to like to hear it...
... but if you are that worried about them it's time to talk to their parents!

Better that then going to, as you said, two funerals.

Here's one other thing that might help sweetie.
Get help for yourself!
Maybe your lead will be an inspiration for them.

I pray you all find your way out of the darkness of pain and into the light of healing.
God be with you.

Have you told the parents of your friend.. or someone who can do what needs to be done to make them stop... call CPS or something don't do nothing... thats the worst you can do.

Where in the world did you get the idea you were bothering anyone? They were just trying to help.

You, at 15, cannot help someone who is a self harmer, they need professional help. All these fine people were trying to do was to tell you where to go get help for your friends.
