I've been blonde,brown,brown with blonde,black,red,and blonde again!I love helping people I found advicenators when I was just 15 and didn't understand the world! I feel I have matured with this site. The people on here are amazing and I love coming on here in my spare time to be there for people in need. I won't tell you what you want to hear because that's not advice it's just fooling yourself. I try to help in whatever way I can I try not to judge and try to relate to a situation if I can. :) If you don't like honesty then you won't like my advice.
If you're kind enough to rate me please leave a comment letting me know if I helped! I love hearing that I have!

advice

I have a friend who is really depressed and suicidal. It really freaks me out when she comes to school with scratches all over her arms. I really care deeply about her, but lately I've wanted to just give up. It hard to keep telling her everyday, "You look great, you have lots of reasons to live" and then see her puke up her lunch and cut herself with razors. Do you have any advice as to what I should do?

hey there
okay this is really serious,and its great that your there for your friend, and i know you probably feel like your getting absolutely no where and just giving up but don't your friend needs all the help and support she can get and to know that your there for her.
but you definately cant do this on your own and be expected to either its putting alot of stress worry and burdens on you its not healthy for you either.
does her parents know about this?if not you defenatly need to start there by telling them
or even another friend or teacher anyone.
then what needs to be done is her parents need to go about getting her counselling for all this and need to find out whats causing all this.
she needs to see a doctor too before she hurts herself even more,she obviously has alot of emotional pain that she feels the need to selfharm because of it. it can be helped and the most extreme cases have come through so please dont give up on your friend.
I really hope I helped and gave you some idea as of what to do and I really hope your friend gets the help she needs and gets better =)
much
