ok i have a really good friend and she is hurting herself by like throwing herself into walls durring school because i think she is depressed. It seems like she really doesn't want to talk about it to anyone. The other day she almost cracked her head open. (she kind of did or maybe she just got a cut on it and it started bleeding because she was banging her head on the lockers) ya i know it sound phsyco...but i don't want her 2 be like this! i mean 2day she was slamming her head against the concrete until i made her stop! what should i do to get her to either tell me whats going on or to stop her from hurting herself????? (i rate high)

marti answered Thursday April 7 2005, 3:05 pm: i had a friend like that to and i used to be depressed and i went to counseling. first tell her that if she doesnt tell you whats goin on or stop hurting herself that your going to tell someone. if she keeps this up you need to tell someone. she might be mad at you for a while but shell get over it and this will show that u truely care about her i mean come on its her health annd if she keeps doing this it could lead to worse.

She will be mad at you at first but will get over it someday. If first person doesn't cure the problem, keep it up until someone does. [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
qotsa369 answered Wednesday April 6 2005, 10:44 pm: First of all, shes doing it for attention. If she was seriously depressed she wouln't be doing dumb shit like that. Tell her to get the fuck over herself and stop being dumb. Also, its 'to' not '2'. [ qotsa369's advice column | Ask qotsa369 A Question ]

you have to tell her that her doing this makes her feel like theres nuthin you can do to help her with her problems and tell her that she can come to you for anything have her come to your house or go to hers (even better) and just talk and have her pour it all out to you. i know it might make you depressed but once she gets it out she will feel alot better that she has some1 who will be there for her. friends are the best thing to go to first to with emotion and physical problems (in your case) email me if you need to talk its all on my site AIM and email adress.
tell me what happens (im always on!)

katkrazy answered Wednesday April 6 2005, 8:38 pm: she might be insecure for right now but if it happens again, make sure she stops. i dont think you should bug her that would make her close up to you. what you should do is let her know that you are and always will be her friend and if she has a problem then she can always talk to you. reminder her that at least once a day. and it might help to tell her that banging her head is EXTREMELY dangerous. and tell her to try ripping paper. hope i helped and i hope she opens up to you!!!

bottledfearxx answered Wednesday April 6 2005, 8:08 pm: 1. Your friend could be doing it for attention because she's phsyco!
2. She has a serious problem. Talk to her parents about it. or talk to the school counsler.(I recomend talking to the parents more because schools just want to call social services on people)
3. tell her to stop acting like a reject and stop banging herself in the walls becuase she's losing the little brain cells she got left! Tell her that you worry a lot about her and if she doesn't stop your going to tell her parents. [ bottledfearxx's advice column | Ask bottledfearxx A Question ]
