My friend is still in high school, she's gotten into smoking and she's always been a bit dramatic, but it's not too much of a problem. Her parents basically treat her like crap and her mom has proven that she cares more about their dog then my friend, who has really bad emotional problems. They don't have much money either. Well, about a year ago, my friend fell for this guy and she adores him. I personally don't favor him... He's on a restraining order, he gets high/drunk, takes her to illegal parts, he's seriously bipolar, he takes medications. The list goes on, but she can't stand to be away from him and I think that's finally driven him crazy because he told her he was moving out (He lived with her for about six months because of the restraining order against someone at his home). Now she's broken up about it and she called me sobbing and saying she wants to cut herself to make the pain go away and she's kind of scaring me because she used to cut herself with safety pins once upon a time, but stopped because this guy told her to. I seriously have no idea what to do or what advice to give her because she keeps making up excuses. What can I do to help her?!
Just tell her that if he was really meant to be with her he would be. And it's not the end of teh world because she doesn't need a guy in her life to depend on. She can depend on herself. Now it definetly will take some time for her to heal,. but just being there to listen to support her is being a great friend.
if she starts becoming really deperessed and suicidal,. then it would be time to talk to someone that can help,. not really her parents,.
