Question Posted Tuesday September 28 2004, 4:55 pm

<13/f>
My friend and I were exchanging secrets, and i found out that she had been cutting every time she got stressed out; she swore she'd stop, but then I saw two more marks... she just said she'd stop again, and she was talking about it like its no big deal.
(she's been through a lot... she was adopted when she was six, and she thinks her real parents sexually abused her (and beat her)).
I'm worried... what should I do?

It might be a good idea to tell an adult about this. On the other hand if said adult goes to her about it she'll realize you've told someone her secret and that could do more harm than good. If I were you I'd just be there for her, let her know that she's got a friend she can go to instead of a razor.

Def. tell your parents or who ever you live with about this. That's really dangerous and it can hurt her. And also, if her parents do abuse her the police need to know. It seems like she hasn't have such a good life. Try and do something about it. Hope I helped. Good luck. Rate me please.

xoxo, Maris

hi. the best thing you can do it let an adult kno about this so they will kno wut to do. cuz i wouldnt kno wut to do either but try to keep her from doing it. just keep an eye on her until u can tell an adult that u trust so they can help her. take care. hope i helped! x3 SweetStar.
