The thing about school counselors is that they aren't exactly like psychiatrists or psychologists - they aren't in any way required to keep the information your friend tells them confidential. If they believe that she is going to start harming herself or that she may be a harm to others, they will most definitely inform her parents. However, if your friend is wanting to stop cutting herself, then she definitely needs to speak to someone. I agree with the other answers when they state that it may be a good thing if the counselors do go ahead and inform her parents for her - it will make things a little easier on her when it comes to letting them know what is going on, plus, they will have broken the ice for her by filling the parents in on the situation at hand and she can just go from there by explaining to her parents why she cuts and what feelings or triggers she has that specifically cause her to cut when she does.
I'm sure she is scared of her parents reaction to her situation, but if she truly wants to quit, then they need to know what is happening with her so that they can help her, support her, and get her any other type of help she needs. I hope everything works out for your friend. Good luck to you both.
school consulers will get her parents involved if this problem is endangering her life so they robably will
She wants to stop so what better way than to have the counselor help break the news to her parents? She can ask the counselor to wait a while until she gets her nerve up. Sooner the better for her. Good Luck!
If she tells the counsellor that she doesn't want her parents to know then he/she should respect her wishes unless he/she feels it is a major hazard her/him not telling her parents. But not matter what she should tell someone and sometimes your parents knowing is the best thing as they only want to help.
If she is still a minor (which I guess she is if she is still at school) the counsellor has an obligation to tell the child's parents if she is at risk of hurting herself or others.
If your friend really wants help, then it might not be such a bad thing if her parents were to find out. It will be scary and it will take a lot of courage. I hope your friend gets the help she needs.
ok my friend told the school counselors that i cut and they told my dad. i asked them not to but they said that it was part of their job to and that they had to. she should get help with it but if she doesnt want her parents to know then do NOT go to the counselors....have her talk to you or someone else.
by the way...my dad now knows and it was hard at first but it does help after a while. i know its hard but it does enventually help. i still wish he didnt know though.
no the school concelur will not tall it is suppose to be kept a sectert between them. she needs to tell some one to get some help before she cuts herself in the wrong area and dies cause of it
