I have this friend who is 12 and she is like my little sister. Anytime someone asks if we are related we say yes. We are sisters. But she is scaring me
Last night she was super depressed and panicked. She is stressing over this boy that I haven't met (or approved of) yet. So it's hard to help when I don't know the guy. All I know Is that he is 13, smokes, and gets into fist fights with kids at her school. So I don't really want her near him. I am very protective of her. I don't want her to get hurt like I was. Anyway... She was so upset she was about to kill herself and I was freaking out. I was so worried and stressed and I couldn't handle it. She cuts a lot and I can't get her to stop. She needs to understand that cutting hurts other people, not just her. She keeps saying "it's my body I can do what I want. It only hurts me not you" but she doesn't understand. It's effecting others I was already stressed out and now she has me worried constantly about JER safety. When I am barely safe with myself. I need time to heal and help myself and she needs me too. I can't do this. The urge to SI is too strong. I just caved in today. And it felt so good. But bad too because I know I have problems too. PLEASE HELP US!! |

What is it that's stressing her out so badly? Is this boy abusing her or something?

Why did she start cutting? Does she have trouble at home?
Sorry about all the questions. I'm just trying to understand the situation.

Does she have access to a counselor or a emphatic teacher to lean on or talk to? Maybe try and get her to open up to an adult about some stuff will help the both of you not have to handle so much alone.
Can you tell her parents about her cutting? do they know something's up with her? maybe they can help her? P.S. i know i haven't been on here in a while etc, so feel free to take my opinions with a grain of salt (if that is the proper expression) |

She doesn't have a teacher or a counselor. Her parents know but I'm not sure if they are taking her seriously. |

If her parents aren't taking her seriously, that may be part of the problem. She might feel like they don't care. I know first hand that it really hurts when your parents don't take you seriously, especially when it's about something that's important to you.
