Question Posted Wednesday October 20 2004, 5:01 pm
Ok, I'm a 10th grader who really has a life I like.There are a couple of things I don't like, and one of them is how much my friends worry about me. Last year, midyear, they started to freak out about me, and almost every day they'd ask what I did the night before. They were scared I was cutting, I wasn't. Now, this year, they are still after me about it, and some of them think I"m suicidal (no, I'm not depressed, though I sometimes act like it), and not only are my school friends thinking this way, so are my friends who dont' attend my school, and a bunch of my dance friends think this too! Is there any way I can convince them that I'm fine? It's making me crazy, and I've got enough to stress about right now.
thanks!

Okay! even though i dont know you i do believe you about how you dont cut urslef! well like everyone else prolly said , you should talk to them ! they need to know how you feel about this and how much stress they are causing you and stuff! okay i have a little story for ya i know some people that cut them selves and you can tell that they do becz they have cuts on they waist and that r really deep! so it might be weird but show them taht you dont have any cuts and tell them that you are glad taht they worry about you but them are pushin this one a little bit to much! i hope i helped!

ld answered Wednesday October 20 2004, 8:11 pm: thats a tuffy... but they should understand that everyone has bad days sometimes. Tell them that its annoying and tell them to trust you like a true friend would tell them that your getting ticked off with them. Sometimes thoug, a friend just wants to care alot. give them a taste of their own medicine. get on to their cases and show them how annoying it is. trust me i'll work. Once they see how fustrating it is they'll stop. hopefully. is there like proof that your cutting or something why do they say that ur cutting? cuz it could be all rumors. For your friends other schools.. i dunno what to tell you..m/b hang out with them some more and when you do be perky and happy and tell them good stff that has happened... they cant possibly think that you are going through depression then can they?

I mean I guess you can tell them and tell them but I'm assuming you've already done that and it didn't work. So maybe take my approach?lol
