iLjaG answered Monday August 2 2004, 9:58 pm: Tell her that if she keeps doing this to herself over some guy, that she will cut too deep soon. Tell her to put her mind on other things than the guy. Hang out with her alot, as she wont cut herself in front of you. Try and keep her mind off of her ex, and giver her positive re-inforcement all of the time. If this doesnt help, sit her down and talk to her about it and tell her that you are concerened and may tell her parents. She might not like you if you do tell her parents, but you will be doing her a very big favor that she will thank you for sooner or later. [ iLjaG's advice column | Ask iLjaG A Question ]

I think that this ex boyfriend of hers needs to be taught a lesson in how to be good to a girl other then making herself hurt like she does.. Get her the best help that she can get, and dont be affraid to tell her parents what really happens.. even if she hates you, she will get over it once she realizes that she really needed that push to be helped -goodluck, I hope I helped and Dont forget to rate me. Need me for anything else just drop me one in my inbox [ pinkangelx3's advice column | Ask pinkangelx3 A Question ]
