my friend is very depressed and has been for a long time. i can relate because i have been too but she is a lot worse. im 16 years old and i really dont know what to do. she cuts a lot, scars everywhere but she is paranoid about anyone finding out. she is also suicidal but refuses to consider help. i dont want her death to be on my conscience and i really want to help my friend. she doesnt want her parents to find out and cant go to the doctor without them because she is too young.
im really worried about her and i want to help her. i have problems myself but nothing compared to her. if anyone could suggest how i can get her to get help please tell me. :frowning:

I want to help my friend

Well, goto the doc with an older friend? Walk in clinic? I found when I'm down I just need people to be their for me, so just be there for her whenever she needs you, talk her through it man. Make her understand that sure, its bad now, hell it gets worse but it does get a lot better.

yeah thats all very well, i've been doing that for years, but what happens when she decides enough is enough? i dont want her to kill herself, and have no doubt that she is capable.

you need to tell her parents...... cutting is very a terrible thing and it shows that she's sinking more and more into depression. I know that if I had a kid that committed suicide I would beat myself up inside wondering how come I didn't see this coming. so tell her parents if not for her sake, for her parents sake.
help your friend....
