i have this really good friend but lately she has been acting different. she says she cuts but i dont know if she is lying because i do cut or she really does. i asked her what she "cut" with and she said i dont remember and she like never has any marks on her. I would like a second opinion because she wont tell me if she is lying or not and i think she is.

icey0990 answered Thursday June 2 2005, 9:17 pm: she may be cutting somewhere else..even if shes not cutting, shes obviously feeling insecure because she feels the need to lie about something so serious to get attention..i wouldnt tell her shes lying..i would treat her as if shes really doing it because even if shes not..theres a screw loose up there because people dont just say they are cutting to get attention (well they do...) but its nott healthy to. set up a meeting with the guidance counselor in school to talk with hher [ icey0990's advice column | Ask icey0990 A Question ]

[[like near her private..]] and i really dont think she would lie about something like that,but thats just me. I really hope you stop cutting,just remember this phrase --who knows what could happen do what you do just keep on laughin im telling you theres always a brand new dayy-- it gets me by. Also my health teacher said.."lifes going to throw you a bunch of wild cards some are good some are bad but just remember it cant be bad for long" i really hope she dosent cut though! [[but yes she could be lieing about it..]] [ cokecap_x21's advice column | Ask cokecap_x21 A Question ]
Sporkster answered Thursday June 2 2005, 6:21 pm: Why do you care? Are you afraid she's going to say she's cutting so you'll think she's cool or something? Why would someone lie about cutting? If they do, then they're a sicko or desperate for attention. Just don't bother her about it. Cutting is NOT a good thing, no need to encourage her to actually start cutting if she's not already.
xOxGlamerous4 answered Thursday June 2 2005, 5:43 pm: if there is no marks then she isnt cutting and if he says that she doesnt know what she is cutting with that deff means that she is facking it just to get attention [ xOxGlamerous4's advice column | Ask xOxGlamerous4 A Question ]

xxBrOkEnxx answered Thursday June 2 2005, 4:44 pm: it sounds like she wants attention, yes i know its harsh but thats what i think, i know people that did cut and they did it for attention because it was stuff like they carved an X on their arm,but i dont really know her so maybe look at her arms, and if she wears a lot of long sleeve shirts she might cut. talk to her to find out the truth.

Teza answered Thursday June 2 2005, 4:44 pm: She doesnt cut. She just wants attention. I mean shes like starving for some attention. You have to be able to see something on her skin to belive her. But shes lieng. ♥ [ Teza's advice column | Ask Teza A Question ]
