ok. just asking for an opinion...

[daniel_]

ok well im friends with this girl and i hav recently found out she does self injury and stuff. ok to make this easier to understand im going to call my friend hu does self injury Gerry (not her reel name) and my other friend hu you will hear about in a sec Karen (also not her real name). so anyway, gerry does self injury and she told karen and me. shes better friends with karen and she has only shown me one scar wich looked like it was from quite a deep cut. anyways, the other day gerry showed karen her finger wich she had stitched with string. karen is now trying to help her but shes got problems of her own and she really doesnt need this right now. gerry hasnt really talked to me much about it and i dont really wanna ask her many questions.

i just wondered what you guys think i should do. should i try and talk to her or shud i support her while shes tryin 2 give it up?!?

thanks.
dan

that is some serious stuff. i think it goes beyond your help. professional help is needed even if she doesn't want it

Go back and fix the parts that say 'hu' to 'who' and maybe I'll read that.

i cant believe you of all people is joking about this. didnt you post similar stuff in the personal forum??


anyway, i dont see your real dilemma. talk or support?? its the same thing--support her trying to stop. i've dealt this sort of stuff and its a nightmare. good luck

Perhaps Gerry and Karen are hurting themselves because Daniel won't call them by their real names.

But if the problem is deeper than that then yeah, there isn't much we can do. Get them some proper help.

ohh is that what it meant... i just skip over parts like that, it makes for faster reading anyway.

I think there's some people who deserve to be laughed at "IE: Looking for girl from North Texas..." but someone who signed up for an account JUST to ask this question deserves a proper answer, unless it's impossible to read (which it isn't).

My advice for this is to talk to Gerry about it and find out why she's doing it and make her known that you're concerned and that you care about her, that's the only reason why you're interested and yes, try to convince her to get professional help.

[I am all talk]

what is her reel name?

[asianxcore]

self injury? like pulling their own hair?

[xLovexAndxLiesx]

definitely try to help her. when i used to cut no one tried to help me and i really wish they did. i mean a few people helped me.. and it did help me to eventually quit.

dont let her do this to herself- you have to be the one to make a change.

o.O ooook

[amillionmiles]

yeah, I know how that is. I have a friend like that also. I think the best thing to do is just let her know that you care, your there to talk and you wont judge her. don't ask questions unless she shows that she can openly talk about it with you. once she realizes that she can talk about it with you, she'll open up more then you can talk more about how to help her. good luck, hope all goes well.

ah, point taken. I should really not leave AP.net up for the younger cousins to mess with. I wonder what else they did. ek.

Hahaha evil. I read it but I was laughing. Sadly it isn't a laughing matter.

Dude: a) Tell someone. A teacher, parent, guidance counselor, nurse. SOMEONE. b) Go back to class and work on your spelling and grammer, because most likely these people won't listen to you if you talk like a retard. c.) Gerry?? Wtf???

[revengerocks]

Talk to her. I know someone who did that. Try to give her a better way to vent. Be available to talk, or at least let her know that you're there for her if she needs you.

And by the way, this subject isn't funny at all.

[ClapClapSnap]

ooh that hurts
