i have had this best freind of mine since i was in 4th grade. recently in 8th grade she and i started acting really different. i cared what other people thougth of me, and she couldnt care less...i knwo i shoudlnt care...but thats not what im askin advice about. well one time she told me that she had to go to the doctor and i might never see her again and left it at that. so i was worried. well it turned out that she had family problems and she was cutting herself. well we 'broke up" as friends and my parents are always askin why dont i ever talk to her anymore. im afarid that they wont except that we broke up bcuz she acted weird and i just thougth she was plain weird for an answer...what do i do?
Additional info, added Friday July 23 2004, 4:38 pm: we arent friends any more, we both changed a lot and she was always lieing to me..i didnt "break up" w/ her bcuz i thought she was weird...that is just what everyone thinks . Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category? Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship? charmed3fanatic answered Sunday May 1 2005, 1:36 pm: okay im really sorry who ever wrote the answer to this was not me!! so i will answer it! okay... well you really shouldn't care what people think.. there decision should not effect you! at all... cutting yourself is a disease it is not for attention.. oviously something was getting to her.. see cutting is a control thing most of the people can't control there life and the only thing that they can is there body. so thats why some people go anerexic or even cut. cutting themselves is a way to relieve pain to them everyhting just fades away when they do. i think that you should maybe give her a call some time and talk about the old times and now your parents should understand you gotta remember they were a kid once too! they will most likely help you get threw it... it's alright if you don't want to tell anyone but keeping it inside is just going to make everything worse.. if you need any more help just ask! i hope everything goes well!

redthang2008 answered Friday February 11 2005, 3:33 pm: Hey! yea, see i have a friend like that. Her mom beats her up and she did try cutting herself...but i've been started to hang out with her more b/c if i do so then i mite can change how she is like for example i'm a major jesus freak and i invited her to church. So i think you should hang out with her...you never know what can happen. And people shouldnt judge you on who you hang out with...that gives a bad impression on who they are if they do. So just try to hang out with her, things can change! [ redthang2008's advice column | Ask redthang2008 A Question ]
Siren_Cytherea answered Friday July 23 2004, 6:59 pm: Try talking to your parents, and explaining why you did break up.
You may be surprised at the way your parents react. My parents have been known to shock me every so often.
Try opening up first. If that doesn't work, ask them why they won't accept it. Sometimes it works to answer a question WITH a question. Lol.
Hope I helped!

You need to tell your mom so that maybe that can get her some help..if your friend keeps cutting..n looses lots of blood she can die..and i know you would feel sad..just like i told one girl..one of my my best friends cutted and she quit..becuase she didnt want to loose her friends..tell your mom so she can get help for her..
keep me posted
dancergal1024 answered Friday July 23 2004, 4:10 pm: I think you really need to tell your parents...and you should try to help your ex friend... even if she is your ex friend you should check out some clinics that specialize in trying to help people with that [ dancergal1024's advice column | Ask dancergal1024 A Question ]

girdy_goo15 answered Friday July 23 2004, 4:05 pm: you just have to accept that your friend cuts herself. some do it cauz they feel trapped and that's how they free thierself. my friend usto cut herself. but i talked to her about it and how bad it was for her and how it could kill her.
at first she didn't listen but then she thout that she mite kill herself and she got scared. she hasn't done it since. you need to talk to your friend about it you can't controll her but
you can be there for her. she needs you rite now. good luck. *~~~shana~~~* [ girdy_goo15's advice column | Ask girdy_goo15 A Question ]
