okay, well i got this guy friend, we were pretty good friends but then I found out he was talking crap behind my back. i got pretty upset and didn't talk to him for about a month. Now we're cool and all but then i found out that he cuts, i got mad at him for doing that. Sometimes if I don't listen or if I'm just not in a good mood or don't agree with him on something, he will find something to cut his wrist on.
One time we were at the movies, and I didn't agree with him at one subject and he took a quarter and started to cut himself. He scares me when he cuts, especially in front of me. He even showed me his cuts he has on his arm that he cut as a "Z"
I want to talk to him about it, but he has mood swings and can get pretty ticked off easily.
Sorry for this advice thing to be long.
but what should I do?

It's a sticky situation, but you basically just need to do what any parent, teacher, counselor, therapist, adult in general would say. You need to tell someone that can get him help. Tell him that aside from all the hissy fits, whether he's mad or not, you care about him. It might ruin your friendship but better that than his life. Tell him you hope you can still be friends after he gets what he needs, but more importantly, GET HIM what he needs! I have friends who have cut, do cut, and are in the process of quitting. My best friend used to until i threatened to tell her mom. It's going to be tough but you need to let someone know. Hope i helped &+ Goodluck!♥ [ ROXiEMARiEX3's advice column | Ask ROXiEMARiEX3 A Question ]

Thats better yet then! Take a look at that site and get your friend some help if you can. He really needs it. He shouldn't use your feelings like that. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
