Question:

My friend is going crazy cutting herself and getting close to suicide, what do I do?

I can't tell her parents and she just got out of the psych ward two weeks ago for this, she's dumping her anger on Johnny and I'm standing on the side saying stop.

Her parent's are a problem. They said many times they don't care for her and have threatened to send her to a foster home.

Some people who are "cutters" feel that when they cut them selves that it is a release and to them it feels as if it is, but your friend doesn't sound like that...silly as it seems ask her why she cuts herself? and what does she fell afterwards? listen to her you'll need the facts to make your case, you'll have to sort between whats fact and whats opinion(this way your unbias as possible) i know it sounds creepy but see what she says.... to me she wants some one to talk to with out just having to ask for some one to listen, at times people feel they ask too much of their friends and can't go to their parents because they don't understand them so they try to make due on there own and end up worst then when they started...my friend became a cutter after his ex broke up with him ..I found out and sat him down in a cafe i asked him why he cut him self he said it took away from the pain of seeing her and what she did to him (she was his first and cheated on him twice then publicly embrassed him in front of mutual friends neither time i was there)....then i grabbed his wrist and said what do you feel now....he flinched it hurt!! i told him in life things hurt and sometimes lessons come with pain. i told him he traded one pain with another and that rather digest what he learned he chose to over look it for what he believed was still there and that there was a difference in what we chose to believe and what's remains to be fact. i told him he was a good guy and crap happens to every one and today was his day and tomorrow would be his day if he let it , i said life goes on and so will you if this happens think of all the crap that could be worst (his mother was sick before) he stood threw that and we could get threw this ..i sat there and reminded him about the person he is and why he matters and that the things he did that he thought was sparing people actually hurt us (every day you walk out the door, you walk with your friends behind you and your family , when you hurt ,we know we feel ,and we hurt, do whats right by you and you do whats right by us :) and for about a week we went out to the movies, for walks and every day i just listen to him talk and now he is happy and slappy just like before ^__^
