friend cuts burns drinks smokes what else is there
Question Posted Wednesday May 21 2008, 7:21 pm
Ive became real close friends with this girl again we were like two years ago. She cuts, burns, smokes and drinks. I used to cut and burn and still drink. i was addicted to smoke but not me smoking I cant stand it seventeen of my relatives have died from the things that come from smoking I cant stand it. Long story but cutting is her sanctuary it’s a habit since shes been in 5th grade. Ive been talking to her a lot about it. Shes been in rehab and hospitalized few times. She cuts during school and everybody knows. When I used to I never told or showed anyone but my best friend which spread then I got nick names :(. She will die without cutting she needs it, she stopped burning, she drinks with an adult, she smokes less. The feeling has been so strong lately but she doesn’t wana go back in rehab that made her go crazy. As much as I am against cutting and smoking, I want her to stop smoking and I don’t wana hurt her by keeping her from cutting. Shes in seventh grade for a few more weeks ina catholic school and im graduating eigth grade in two days. She needs to stop smoking, and tone down the cutting even more. Shes depressed and her parents constantly yell at her. I talk to her so much about everything but I don’t know what else to do. Her parents know everybody knows but nobody really cares. She got my friend to bring his pocket knife to school so she can use that instead of glass or blades she said or else shed cut really deep. I got pissed at him and even more at her. What do I do? whats next her getting nocked up in 7th grade, cutting burning drinking smoking. :(
