My friend needs help

My bestie insists she doesn't need to go to therapy, but she's in denial...

I have 2 best friends, and they're both depressed. One of them goes to my school, and she is the most messed up one. she has a messed up family life, and a terrible boyfriend. She's told me she's wanted to kill herself for a long time, and she once got really close to doing it. She's cut herself and everything. The other friend is depressed because she thinks she's ugly and doesn't have a boyfriend, and has also alomst died. I really want to tell my teacher what's going on, because this whole thing is stressing me out and I want it to stop. Should I tell my teacher or keep my friend's trust? Please answer I'm so lost!!




Hey babe, 

Whenever a friend tells you they've thought about suicide, tell a trusted adult fast - a teacher, a guidance counselor, a parent. Your friend might think you're betraying their trust, but it's more important that you save their life, right? I'm so sorry you're going through this, I can only imagine how difficult of a situation this must be for you. Be sure to talk to someone about how you're feeling through this entire process, too. xoxoxo

MOD MOD MOD EMERGENCY !!!!!Ok so my good friend is going through therapy because she told me and my other friend she considered killing herself and so we told the counseler and ya but she started dating my recent ex. I mean we went out for about 2 years so we were pretty deep and we broke up before school and she insist it's helping her but it's hurting me so I got I to an argument with her and told her I didn't want her to talk To me anymore bcuz she's scarring me and so she threatened to kill herself and I didn't say anything back.....what do I do?? Emergency!!!!




Hey girlie,

This is so tough, because your friend is obviously going through some serious business as she tries to get her life on track. So you don't wanna upset her, but at the same time you want to make sure you take care of yourself, too! If she ever threatens this again, you need to make sure you tell someone, preferably one of her parents or the counselor in charge of her therapy. It's a serious statement to make! I think, unfortunately, that she might have said this in order to just get you off her back - and using suicide as a way to do that is  so wrong. So while she's going through this rocky time, try to avoid any serious conversations like this. Wait til she's a lil more stable before you conquer big topics - you're on a straighter road right now than she is, so just try to be understanding <3

MOD:MOD:MOD: Do u know the website Girlsense?? There is always an add in your magazine for that. Anyways I note this girl on there who is really nice. We give each other advice and We even have an advice group on there together. I am even friends with her little sis. Anyway We think we wanna meet in real life someday which we both think would be fun and cool. She agreed with me to ask you if you thought it would be a good idea. We both wanna even have the same job! and im positive that she is not a bad person. she is MY best friend on there! Thanks!! I LOVE your magazine! Smile ;) Smile

 

Hey chica, this girl does sound really cool and great, but you have to be careful with these internet sites. Who knows who she could really be? So I would defintely wait until you're older and have a parent or friend go with you. She could be okay, but just to be on the safe side. Smile Smile

Ok,my best friend(who is a guy),is a hispanic.They just put an immigration law in our state,and he has to move away.It has made me very depressed,and I am already starting to miss him,even though he hasn't even left yet.How can I beat the depression and still remember him when he is gone and not cry.=[

 

Hey babe,

This is a total bummer, so it's ok to be sad sometimes! But don't let it consume you. Try to remember how EASY PEASY it is to stay in touch these days! You have texts/phone calls, emails, Facebook, Skype, and ol' snail mail to swap stories and stay close friends. It's going to take more work and you'll miss him lots, but these definitely help get you through <3

MODMODMODMOD! I've been bullied since Monday and it's already started to affect me. Before it was just words. It hurt, but I survived. Then it got physical today. It's to the point where the nasty things these guys say, make me want to transfer schools. What do I do? Reporting to an adult doesn't work. My school sucks with that. How do I seriously fix it without others being involved?

 


Hey chica, I'm super busy right now trying to answer all you guys! Hit up some of your gal pals on here like facebooker1240 for help! I'm sure they'll be willing to lend a helping hand! Smile Smile Smile

MOD
A close guy friend of mine recently told me that his girlfriend wants to have sex with him, but he does not feel ready. She is a forceful girl and may not take his feelings into consideration, but I know he still likes her. What can I do to help him avoid getting hurt or have something even more tragic transpire?




Tell him to talk to her about how he feels and if she doesn't respect his feelings, he may have to find someone else who will.

I feel like my best friend always lies. It just feels like half she says just doesn't seem legit. And I have that feeling. What should I do?




Hey girl, why not prod her a bit to see if you can get a better sense of the truth from her. Your intuition may be on to something, but try to stick to the mentality she's innocent until proven guilty.

hey! tell your friend that councelling is for anyone who neesd it. tell her that you love her, and don't like to see her upset and confused like she might be. i tried that with a friend in a similar situation, and she totally listened to me!
