    My friend is cutting herself.
    I'm on my cousins account, so hi. Well, it was the first day of 8th grade and my friend looked sad so she showed me her cut marks and started to cry, she even said she wanted to kill herself, and it was an option. What should I do, its invading my brain now.

    She showed you because she wants and needs help. Tell your parents, school guidance councilor, pastor, or any adult that you trust to help her NOW. Don't wait and don't be scared just focus on getting her help as quickly as possible.

    If you are still reading this than you are waiting to long, let someone know right away!

    Untreated depression is the number one cause of suicide, and suicide is the third leading cause of death among teenagers.

    The thing is, she said that she didn't want help. She said that she doesn't want it, because help never HELPS HER, she is really stubborn... I don't know who to tell, I don't trust anyone at my school [adult wise] and her parents are complete negligent potheads.

    BC 123,

    Anger is a normal emotion when a person is forced to go through a big change in their life. Give her time to go through the program and her feelings will change. You did the right thing.

    Doing the right thing isn't always the easiest thing to do.

    You did the right thing, and I'm proud of you.

    If she lives long enough to grow up she will forgive you 1000 times for making a stand for her in her time of need. Don't give up on her!! I have a buddy her daughter was a slasher... she went through training she is a different person now... they need assistance in many ways. It's a self worth situation.

    After she gets better, she will forgive you.. it just takes time.. you did the right thing and she will be thankful for it later. You are nothing but a very good friend and she will see that.. but right now she's in a position where she can't see what you see.. she's in her own box and that's y she being stubburn... but when this hospital gets her out her box [[which they will]] then she will see her wrongs and will thank you for realising them...
    I don't know you but I can tell your really a good friend
    **good luck and hope everything turns out great for you and your friend**

    Thanks, guess what, she made up that whole hospiolized thing up... She's been at school perfectly and acting all normal with her friends, except now she glares at me and gives me attitude, the thing about her is that she holds grudges and is too stubborn to understand any one else's way but herself... so what now?

    I absolutely agree with BlakeCory!

    You did the right thing dear. Not only for her, but for yourself. This would have stressed you out longer and would have interfered with your normal life - you saved a life - be proud... we are!

    You can help her. Talk to her, help her, make her feel better. Then, call for help... that was seriously a suicide threat... dont take those lightly!
