Your friend is literally crying out for help!. While it may be difficult for you to tolerate her strange behavior and even harder for you to understand don't write her off!. Adolescence is hard and everyone copes with if it in their own way!. I wouldn't be teenager again for anything in the world!. Do take your friend seriously though!. She needs friendship and support !. She is desperately seeking a sense of belonging!. This is very common when going through adolescence!. She is trying to establish her individual identity by assigning herself to a group that is very seperate from the groups she feels alienated from!. That might be why she identifies with Emo!. She may feel no one understands her or what she is going through!. I know she can probably be annoying but try to be patient with her!. I wouldn't react to her sensationalizing her "cuts"!. She is trying to get a rise out of you!. She wants you to say OMG! She really just wants you to show her that you care!. So tell your friend that you really care about her!. Tell her that while you might not fully understand you know that she is going through something and tell her that you'll be there for her no matter what!. Hopefully your friend won't graduate to actual cutting!. Although it might seem way uncool you might want to mention this to a responsible adult like a counselor at your school!. They will keep things confidential and will not mention that it was you that told!. The most important thing here is that your friend seems to want to hurt herself and that has to be addressed!. It is a problem that is way too complex for one person alone to handle!. She sounds like she might need the help of trained professionals!. You also might want to talk to your school counselor for your own good!. Or talk to your parents or older sibling if you are comfortable!. This situation sounds like it has you a little stressed!. Good luck Babe!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

When people self harm, a lot of the time it's a cry for help!. I'm not saying she's suicidal but from what I've experienced, suicidal people will try to reach out to their friends for help and one of the ways they do that is by self harming!. Tell a teacher or a parent or someone you trust, just so things don't get worse!.
She might not be cutting she might be burning or just generally hurting herself!.
Hope all goes well!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

What your friend is doing is called 'acting out' to get attention!. This is done by anyone who feels 'isolated' and that they can't get attention any other way!. If you act annoyed or don't pay any attention to your friend she could start cutting herself in real life!. Tell your friend that you do care about her, and tell her that you will go to the school counselor with her so she can get some real help for her problem!. Then DO IT!. This girl needs help and as her friend, you can get her to the help she needs!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i dont know what to say, but the fact she has red marks is self harming even if it is attention,,, maybe talk to her and ask why!?
i agree it isnt too normall to broadcast u cut or your depressed!. And people who do cut may friend her offensive!.
ask her why she is doing this,
and say that you think it is stupd, of course you will try and help her through the problem but if shes not goin to tell you it how can you help, your not a mind reader and she is making it hard for you!.
this may seem a bit harsh but you know your friend i dont and if you think she is attention seeking and you know her quite well the possibilty is that she is, however i think you should talk and if she doesnt listen tell her u may have to tell an adult!. and if she still doent listen tell becuase the red marks may turn into cuts and itl become more of a habbit and become a more serious problem!. hope this helps!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
