Sorry it's so long, but I think I might to need to tell a teacher or somebody, can you help me?
A friend told me earlier today, she made me pinky swear that I wouldn't tell a guidence counciler or anything... well she told me she's cutting, or like that she wants to start.
Then by 3rd period... 3rd block, whatever you call it, she said she talked to a friend and said that she decided she doesn't want to cut... I don't think she started, just she talked about wanting to cut, and she said she was suicidal, because she couldn't stand living with her mom, her parents are divorced, and he mom won't let her live with her dad, and her mom won't go to court & let her choose what she wants to do.
Can she change her mind from being suicidal, to having talked to somebody that fast, or should I tell one of my teachers... I have a teacher that I know I can tell anything to. What she made me promise is not to tell anyone, like from guidence or anything.
So what I'm asking is
1.)Is she really over it?
2.)Would I be breaking the promise (I don't care if I am or not, I just want to know if I'm breaking it. if I tell the teacher I mean.)
3.)And Should I tell the teacher?
(she told me around 7am, then around 12ish she told me she talked to a friend and won't cut, and doesn't think she's suicidal. She seemed happy when she told me.)
Thanks for all the help in advance, I appreciate all answers, even if they're rude. (link)

1.) Your friend may think she is over it, and may not cut herself for awhile...but you never know - she could go back to her old ways =(
2.) Figure that one out for yourself. You pinky-promised your friend that you wouldn't tell anyone about her problem, so telling a teacher is telling someone!
3.) I'm not sure if your teacher is the right person to tell, maybe talk to your friend first and try to convince her yourself that you think cutting is a very dangerous habit and that you love her and don't want to see her cause herself to be in pain. Tell her that whenever she has a problem and feels like cutting herself she should come talk to you, or take a nice hot bath or shower, or write down her feelings in a journal. If all else fails, yes, tell a teacher - or your parents or her parents!
I hope your friend gets better! =)

The teacher that I was thinking about knows her, the teacher has me second period, and her 4th period. But yeah, I thought it'd be breaking the promise
