Emo bff is pushing me away because I'm concerned for her.
Question Posted Sunday May 15 2011, 11:58 am
My best friend is going through a hard time with her family. Her mom is a homosexual, her father is going through a divorce with a bitch who was always mean to her. She is very protective of me and our other friend. She said that she " will enjoy every scream and every drop of blood someone spills that she causes after they try to hurt us. I've been really worried about her,and I insisted that we take her to a couseler since she won't let me help. She began cutting herself saying she "aches to see blood." She got mad at me for "thinking there was something wrong with her" but I'm just worried. She starts to go toward someone to hit them then stops. She always tries to help everyone else saying she comes last. She won't let me help, and she hates attention so why is she doing this? Whats wrong? Please help- Worried friend

VoiceofReason answered Tuesday May 17 2011, 2:57 am: She has a lot of anger issues over an unstable family situation and yet is wary of being a burden to her friends, perhaps being afraid of driving them away. While her mom and dad were dealing with their issues they neglected her and so she cuts herself to get the attention.
You're just going to have to tell her that you love her as a friend and that a counselor or therapist could help her sort out a lot of her anger and put her in a more constructive frame of mind. You guys actually kind of need to nurture her since her parents aren't really doing that. Keep reminding her that she is an important part of your life and, eventually, I think she will begin to calm down once she gets the emotional reinforcement she needs.

delasaurusrexcheetos answered Monday May 16 2011, 5:22 pm: I'm not emo.... exactly. But i do knoe many people that are. I think the problem is she's stressed. She reminds me of me. I am Scene. I carve words on my body, pierce my body parts, and do eraser burns. I can't exactly explain the reasons whyy she is doing this. Buut my advice is not to be too invasive, if you get what i mean. If she wants to tell yhu then she will. If not than dont push it too far. Otherwise you might push her to the edge. [ delasaurusrexcheetos's advice column | Ask delasaurusrexcheetos A Question ]
advice_gurl101 answered Sunday May 15 2011, 5:41 pm: I think the things she are doing are calls for help. She needs to see professional help. That's the only way you can help your friend. It don't matter if she dose or does not want professional help. If last resort maybe stage an intervention. She needs help as soon as possible.
