She probley is not actually trying to kill her self. My friend cuts her self to, she says that it help her feel better, even thought there are thousands of other coping methods. Tell you school gudiecne consular, because your friends is obviously depressed and she could accidentally kill her self. Be there for her and try to suggest better things for her to do. Offer to do a lot of different activity's with her. |

Cutting superficially indicates that she is having trouble dealing with feelings that she may consider too big for her to deal with by herself. She needs counseling. I suggest you tell a responsible adult, like a teacher or school nurse, about what is going on. They can guide you in the right direction. |

Classic symptoms of bordeline personality disorder.
She needs urgent help, medication and probably about five years of therapy.
Do whatever you can to encourage her to seek help. |

Does she have family? Call them immediately. You can also call 911 to have her picked up. If she is underage, she has to go. |

Get her some help pronto, by calling a depression hotline or something, or get her to a psychiatrist. |

if she is serious about doing her self in , then why hasn't she cut her wrists. I don't understand younger generation, every one has so much drama.... Why is someone's life so awful they want to kill themselves.. when i was a youngster, we just sat a round and smoked pot, and did hallucinogenics, maybe that made my generation happier...... |

You cannot help others, until you are capable of helping your self, Your friend needs professional help, and you could possibly help her to get help from a professional.
Just the thought of people doing things like this to themselves makes me feel crazy, I would say that she is seeking attention in the most negative kind of way possible.
Since she now has both of our attention, and including all of the people responding here on yahoo answers, how about contacting your local mental health establishment and talking to them about your friends problem, you yourself may also wish to speak to a councilor there, as I know if my friends were going through things like this I would feel very distressed myself.
People are simply under two much stress these days.
If your friend is doing this right at this moment I also suggest that you dial 911 |

you need to be the best friend you can possibly be to her and really talk to her about this. try to get her to seek help as well. its a hard thing to deal with but its not something wher eyou can just force the person to go get help. you've got to be very supportive for her, be there for anything she needs, tell her how much you love her/how much her family loves her...alert her parents to the fact as well but ask that they not mention you said anything to them. its a delicate balance here so you've got to play your cards just right to be able to save her. |

HELP HER!!!!!!!!!!! Would you rather ignore it, and lose your best friend???? Check out depression sites and hotlines, and get as much help and information as you can get. Good luck! |

Is she emo?? Talk to her and try to get her to stop. Tell her that there are many people that love her and want to help her out. If that doesn't work, talk to her parents( if they don't already know ) and get them to take her to a hospital. |

People who are deliberate about suicide will show certain signs. They'll quit bathing, eating, hanging out with friends and go through a state of depression and spend a bit of time alone reflecting on their lives for closure.
Then comes a stage of apparent happiness. They will give away their possessions and probably say something along the lines of "I'm going home soon".
These are the signs of a true suicidal.
Then there's your friend. The typical (likely teenage) mellow dramatic drama queen. She's starving for attention. Good or bad she's wearing her heart on her sleeve for all to see and wants to feel better by means both masochistic and sadistic.
She wants you to comfort her and tell her everything's going to be alright and pat her back and listen to her woe-is-me sob stories.
True cutters cut themselves for a variety of reasons. To some it gives pleasure, to others it's a release, some say it's because it diverts the pain from the mental to the physical and some just like to see the blood.
I think your friend is going through a tough time and needs to feel like she has friends who truly care for her so go ahead and play along and be her shoulder to cry on. When she's done scratching herself up with a spork you can go eat some ice cream afterwards. Good luck. |

DO NOT LEAVE HER ALONE!
get help- she may not want it, she may get pissed off as hell for u telling an adult or someone but trust me in the long run she will be so thankful for what u did. u will be doing her a huge favor by saving her life, and once she gets the help necessary to realize life is worthy living she will realize that u did the best thing by telling someone |

She needs help, you need to let someone know. Hiding this is not helping her in any way. She may get mad, but in the long run she will thank you and realise that you are a true freind. Do the right thing.. |

Some states have a law to protect people who threaten suicide by mandating that person stay in a mental facility for a period of time. It is 72 hours in Missouri. You have to talk to her parents about this problem. I just lost my step-brother a few weeks ago to suicide and really wish he had reached out to someone or someone had talked to him. Don't just leave her alone though. She may temporarily hate you for "interfering" but she'll love you more one day. Don't take this lightly. |

Tell Someone, ANYONE. She needs help and most of all you're support. Don't get mad at her, let her know that you're always there for her, and that you don't want to lose her as a friend. |

Time is of the essence. If you can get in touch with her parents, do so. If you can't bare the weight on your shoulders simply have some one else call an ambulance. I had the same problem happen with me yesterday when my brother was suicidal. Don't waste anymore time, seek help if you want her to get better or survive. |

Cutting her arms and legs won't kill her. It sounds like she is a cutter. Sometimes when people are really depressed, they start hurting themselves. Sometimes they use razor blades to make numerous superficial cuts, usually on their arms or legs. You need to tell someone she is doing this. Talk to her parents. She needs psychological help to get her past this. |
