cutter
Hi my name is Katie. I think my friend Brandi has a problem. She told me today that she got drunk yesterday and she cut herself with a razor all over her wrist and hand. I am really worried about her because she talks about all the time and I don't want her to do anything stupid. I think she might be doing it for attention but you can never be sure with because it is not something to toy with. I told her if she keeps cutting I will not talk to her anymore because I don't want to see her hurt like this. I love her alot but I don't want her to think I am okay with this. What should I do? I want to tell a school counsler but I don't want them to try to get help for her because she will know I was the one that told and I don't want her to me. Please help me with this problem. I want to be a good friend and help her but I don't know what to do.
thank you alot!
Katie

Dear KATIE,
The only reason that people ever cut themselves is for attention. Take it from me, I caught my grandchild, Louisa, cutting herself. Then she was showing off her cuts to everyone and acting pathetic. It turns out that her friends had stopped talking to her that week. Louisa wasn't cutting because she was upset, she was cutting because she wanted attention. When found out about Louisa's cutting I hit her in the chest, and she stopped.
Your pal Brandi shouldn't be drinking, cutting, or bragging about it so maybe you should hit her in the chest. It worked for me.
Love,
GBL xoxo

Hey your friend is obviously going through a rough time right now. The one thing you shouldn't do is stop talking to her because if you are one of her close friends and she loses you she'll get worse and be even more depressed. Now it all depends on how she tells you...did she brag about it like she is proud of it? Or was it more of "I'm ashamed I did that to myself". This whole thing can eventually lead to suicide (it did for me and a lot of other people)...try to continue talking to her..but if you see that she's getting worse and your talking isn't helping you definitely need to tell someone. She'll thank you for it in the long run..even if in the beginning she's upset with you. Trust me I've been there, and I wouldn't have been able to get through my difficult times without my friends help.
Hope I helped

If you want to be a good friend you will tell some one your friend has a problem. She may be mad at you at first, but she will thank you in the long run, trust me. Friends look out for one another, no matter what! So, do your friend a favor, have her talk to some one, some thing good will come out of it! Good lukk!
