Story time...

There's this girl in my class who just started at my high school in August. She is the most typical American teenage girl you will ever meet, she's almost like something out of a movie: loves pink, super girly, always dresses well, always has her nails done, loves shiny stuff, on the cheerleading team, on the prom committee, etc. I'm not like that at all so I never really talked to her. A couple of months back I noticed that she started wearing around 3-4 thick bracelets on her left wrist everyday and never took them off, ever. And even though she's really teen-boppity and all that, she always looked really sad whenever she wasn't talking. So I thought..... what if? What if she's SI-ing?

I dismissed it as me being overly paranoid because of my history... and then today I got paired with her for a project and she had a line of ten faded scars on her wrist. So I was right, of course. But we're not friends, we're in completely different social circles, and I honestly don't know her well at all. I know that it's probably not in my place to bring anything up, but at the same time I don't want to sit back and do *nothing*... I like helping when I can, but I don't know if I should in this situation. The bracelets were off so I don't know if she has stopped SI-ing or simply moved off to another part of the body. Should I be saying something? Doing something? Even though we are *not* friends *at all* and we *never* talk to each other except for when we have to??
