    My best friend just got dumped by her boyfriend....again! Man, she wrote to me in a note that it was a good thing I made her promise not to purposely hurt herself or anything because she was really going to kill herself or at least cut! God, she is so happy when she was together with him but then he broke it off then she was a mess! Then he came back to her so she felt happy again but in 2 days they break up again so now she's even worse than before!! I'm soo afraid she's going to hurt herself. She said that he was her world, and now that he's gone for sure, her world is now crashing down. I'm supposed to be her best friend, the one she can talk to about things so I can listen to everything and then give a little advise. She said for me not to say anything about the cutting and thoughts of killing herself and yeah. I don't know how serious this is, maybe it isn't at all so I shouldn't say anything. And she'll only talk to me about everything. Ahhh, Does anyone know what I should do? Please...help.

    Honestly keep an eye on her my friend tried to commit suicide. I made her promise long before that if she tried to at least say goodbye to me so when she did i called the councelor. She lived! And she was glad she did she admitted to me a year later that she was glad i helped her and she thanked me. Don't let your friend slip away, but don't take any action to soon eithier, wish her all the luck.

    If she's suicidal because a boy dumped her she should get professional help. There is something really wrong with that, sorry.

    Advice otherwise? Well, just remind her that she's young and he's only one boy. There are plenty of MEN out there and shouldn't be tied down at this young an age...

    Hmm, she shows me her wrists..if I ask her to.. each day, I see it and it's cut free. Just wondering, are their other places ppl tend to cut themselves at? Yeah, but I'm her only friend at the time being. Her other ones left her after she changes her hair style or something. Well, if I do tell on her and it's not serious, then she'll hate me for sure and we will no longer be friends. But also...she'll be alone. All her life people that she cared for left her or hurt her in some form. Mother, father, 3 uncles, a brother, her former friends...and I don't want to be just another person who causes her pain. Then after that, she'll have a lesser reason to no cut or anything and she might actually do it at that time. Yeah..I don't know. This is something she sent me this morning in reply to me.:

    What I said:

    It doesn't matter what time you get this because it'll always hold true. I don't know what I'd do if I lost you. It may sound weird coming from me but I care about you. And.. I love you. I've lost friends before by death as you may know. You promised you wouldn't hurt yourself on purpose.. but I just wanna let you know that I don't want to let you go. If somehow you can't stay away from that for yourself then do it for everyone else that cares about you.. including me. Yeah.. I think that's all for the moment. love you.
    Always,
    Cheyanne

    What my best friend said in reply:

    I'm not sure... I think I made it worse or something. I don't know what to do. I don't even know how to answer her question.

    Obviously he didn't love her. She has to face up to this, Cheyenne, it's the only way we develop as people. If she doesn't face her problems she'll be left at a stand still.

    Love for teenagers is such a fickle thing you wouldn't (and most likely don't) believe. The sooner she moves on and finds someone else to shower with affection the better.

    Try telling her that. I can I tel her that he didn't love her, that that was all a lie too? I don't know how.
