As a recovering cutter...I cant stand people who do that crap...But really if she wants the attention let her have it and when sum1 goes and tells her parents and they but her in a correctional facitality for teens she'll think twice about the attention. The way I see it if she wants attention so bad she should be put in therapy cus thats just pathetic. Sooner or later every1 will see she is a complete total fake and they wont want anything to do wit her. That just kills me cus there really are people out there who have miserable lifes and really dont wanna live.

Ya know what.

She wants the attention, then let her have it. In fact, tell her parents and see what they will do, see if she really enjoys having all that attention when her parents come clammering down on her and send her off for therapy.

It's ridiculous. I will bet she has nothing true to be upset over. She is crying out for attention and she is getting it. However, in the end I gaurantee you she will be friendless and broken mentally. Are you being a bad friend for speaking up saying she doesn't really have any cuts to show? Absolutely not, in fact your being more of a friend by trying to stop all the attention from getting to her.

Quite frankly though, if she wants the attention, let her have it, but tell her in the end she will end up broken and friendless. And for the record, I hate people who pose themselves like that for attention. If it was me in the situation, I would have exposed her so fast....

I hope I helped, and good luck with her, it sounds like your really gonna need it.

well oviusly your friend is crying out for attention. Maybe she feels a like of attention. But tell her that its anoying and she needs to grow up, and if she thinks your horrible so be it. Or tell her parents, they will give her counciling, because ovisly she needs attention so give it to her.

Omigosh! I Have A Friend Just Like That.. She Thinks She's Sooo Emo, And Pretends To Cut, Her Myspace Is Filled With Icons About Suicide And Cutting, But If You Really Knew Her In Real Life She Has Nothing To Be Upset About.. Her Life Is Perfect.. She Acts Like She Listens To My Music But I Was Looking Through Her CD's And All I Saw Was 50 Cent And Shit Like That, I Called Her A Poser, And Told Her That She's Just looking For Attention, And One Day Someone Is Gonna Put In A Mental Hospital, Is That What You Want?, For People To Look At You Like You're Sick And Twisted?, Because I Go Throught The Whole, OMG, She Wears Black She Must Be A Troubled Teen, So Don't Give Me This "My Life Sucks Soo Bad, I MUST Cut!!" I Told Her All Of That And The Next Day All Of Her Little Icons And Shit Were Gone And She Stopped Talking Like She Was Gonna Kill Herself.. I Guess It Workss Lol..

Good Luckk,

<//3 Rabekah <//3

It sounds like your friend is clamboring for attention. Is there something bugging her? A sick mom? A dad in Iraq? You should talk to your school counselor with her. Try to figure out what is really going on. Does her mom knows that she is faking cutting herself? One day, she might really cut herself. Like I said, talk to someone close to you to try to figure it out.
