Since September, I have been friends with a girl, we are both 13. I really like her but I am very worried about her. Before she came to our school, her Step-Father, she hasn't seen her biological father in 10 years, threw her, her Mother and her sister out of their house and they had to move back here.
Since then, she has been cutting her wrists and talking about how she wants to kill herself. Recently, she has started taking paracetemol everyday because she says that she gets headaches and feels ill if she doesn't have any. She used to smoke and I know she still has cigarettes at her home in case she needs them, I'm worried she might start again.
She hates her Mother and yesterday she told me that her Mother is moving to another city and leaving her and her sister, who is 14, behind. I can't tell anyone because if I do, my friend will be put in care and she will never forgive me. No one else knows about all this except me and I am so worried about her.
I don't know what I can do to help her, I am going through a difficult situation myself and I'm so wrapped with it that I don't know how to cope with my friend as well. I have tried talking to her and telling her to get help but she wont and there is no way I can make her. I don't know what to do, I can't tell anyone and she wont get help. I'm so scared that one day she really will kill herself, she's threatened to so many times. What should I do?

definately tell someone. because if she actually kills herself one day you are going to feel so guilty thinking she woulda have lived if i would have told someone. She needs serious help and you are the only one who can help her right now. so please tell somebody no matter what because if she told you she must want help so tell a counselor/teacher or some ADULT that ur close to before she does something she's going to regret.

You need to tell someone pronto. Your friend will thank you later, believe me. She'll thank you for saving her life, and helping her.. if you are a good friend you will tell a counciler, or an adult in general.

Are you willing to save her life? Sure, she'll be mad that you told at first, but in the long run wouldn't it help her. If you truly care about her, you will tell an adult. This is too big of a problem to take on yourself, especially if you are having issues too. I know this isn't what you wanted to hear, but it's the truth. The girl needs help and you can't give it to her, so get someone who can.

usually when someone tells you and only you that they are going to kill them selves they want you to get them help!! so i think you should go ahaid and get her some help i think she might get mad at first but she will see how much it helped.. and the whole moveing i think you should ask your mom or dad if by any chance they could stay with you.. or look up on the internet foster homes and see if there are any near you because in my town i know of a couple and you could ask if she could go there or stay with you. you really need to do something because if she does kill herself you will never forgive yourself for not saying anything to anyone
i.m me if u need anything jilliix3

Tough situation...
Well, you have to decide what's more important: losing her trust or letting her die.
I would tell someone, and trust me, eventually, she will forgive and she'll know that you did because you care about her, even though it'll take some time. Good luck!
Hope I helped!

This is a very serious matter. Your friend may be having problems like many other people but it doesnt mean she should cut herself, take meds. and smoke. I understand that you do not want your friend to be mad at you for telling on her, and this is a very tuff decision to make. But if i were you i would tell your mother about your friend, she will be taken care of and after she is better she will know to thank you because you saved her life. You dont want to lose a friend, but you also dont want one to die when you could of told someone (not saying that it would be your fault, it wouldnt you are trying to keep a promise), but if she was to die you would always think about the fact you could of stoped her. i really hoped that helped! <3 Diona **good luck**
