You can skip to the last part if you dont wanna read this. But if you wanna get the whole story plz read. I am not using real names because some of them are on this site. I am using Sarah and Lucy.

1st yr, 2 yrs ago
My first yr at a new school. The first friend I met was Lucy then I introduced her to Sarah. Lucy and Sarah hated each other before I became friends with both of them and we all became friends. basically what happened was they ditched me for the popular girls and cyberbullied me on instagram. They unliked all my photos and unfollowed me. Then they made a list about all the bad things about me, nothing on it was true. Then I pretended to be someone else on an ipad and I said bad things about myself to get information. Then we split up and didn't talk. Oh yeah and this happened around my birthday and they came to my party and ignored me the whole time and made me cry.

Summer
There was a party that I went to during the summer and Lucy was there and we hung out and sort of got back together as friends.

2nd yr, 1 yr ago
Me, Lucy and Sarah all got back together as friends. I just let it happen because I was confused and they were so nice to me before they were mean. Lucy told me she was so so so sorry about what she did to me. It made me feel good that they were nice to me again. Then in the middle of the yr Sarah took someone else from our group and decided to leave because they said we were taking down their grades, this got resolves in a couple days. We all got skype and lets just say we talked about the most unnapropriate things and lots of bad things. During a skype call Lucy was so depressed because this was like the day after Sarah decided to leave us and it hadn't been resolved yet. She started cutting herself and another friend and I started screaming at her and we had no idea what to do. Then we threatened to call her parents if she wouldn't stop and then she did. The next day she covered her arm.

3rd yr, Today
My parents found out waht I did on skype and I got grounded for a month and I wasn't allowed to use it anymore. So I had no contact with any of my friends for 3 months. When I got back in school after summer which was Yesterday I had learned that she hadn't been eating and she was starving herself. She says that she has to contact these two people on her phone, a girl and a guy, like its an emergency. I asked her how important it was on a scale of 1-10 and she said 9. I believe that she is gonna do a triple suicide. I dont know if im right or not but i'm really scared.

I also feel that i'm responsible for all of her cutting because if I never would have came to that school then she would've never met Sarah who ran off with another friend (shes back now) and made Lucy cut. I believe that the cutting resulted in starving herself and now I believe she is gonna commit suicide. It really hurts me that she is hurting herself. I dont even know if I should be friends with her because of our history. Im so confused and scared please help me. I'm only in 8th grade and i have no idea what to do.
Someone please respond I need help.
I'm going to school tommorow and I have no idea what to do, im thinking of telling the guidence counselor but Lucy really doesn't want anyone to know because her parents will ground her.
PLEASE HELP!

It sounds to me like Lucy needs to be grounded. Tell her parents. Tell the guidance counselor. It's for her own good. Really it is. Otherwise, you'll end up regretting it.

This may sound cruel or negative, but honestly, when someone starts cutting themselves in front of others, that usually means it's a cry for attention or for help. The fact that you weren't on Skype for three months to feed into her need for attention probably made her feel like she had to do something more extreme to get that attention, thus, she starved herself. Not to mention the fact that she's in 8th grade, 13-14 years old. This is prime time for hormonal onsets of depression and anxiety as well as bouts of extremely low self-esteem and insecurity.

Bottom line:
She WANTS you to tell her parents. She WANTS you to tell the counselor. She WANTS help. She needs help.

I agree with Mariko. I was only a year or two older when I went through a self-harm phase, and I can promise that it is not that hard to hide. Depressingly easy, in fact. If she is letting you know about it, she wants attention. She's asking for help - maybe she knows she is, maybe it's just her instinct kicking in and trying to get help for her. 8th grade is not exactly the epitome of good introspection.

There are two possibilities. The first is that she is doing it all for attention, she knows she is doing it for attention, and she might not even actually be hurting herself. There are ways to make it look like you have cut without actually doing much damage. As for eating, that is probably just her word and the limited amount that you see her at school. Maybe she feels like she is losing control of her world because it was HER that was left behind this time. Maybe making others worry over her is just her way of keeping people reeled in. If that's the case, then she is only doing it for the attention, she is using your sympathy, and she needs to be put back under control and learn that the type of behavior that she is exhibiting is not a way to keep friends. It's manipulative. Not because she is mean, but because she is scared and doesn't know how to handle it. She needs help.

The other option is that she really is hurting herself, which could be for any number of reasons. No matter what the reason, she probably isn't familiar with it, or with herself, enough to understand it. She doesn't know what's wrong - something is just very wrong. In fact, eating disorders are often caused by feeling like you have lost control in life. Not knowing how to handle these feelings that she doesn't understand, she leaves it to her instinct. Her instinct wants her to get help. But she can't ask for help, because she can't find anything around her to be wrong. It's all inside her. So, she brings the pain inside to the outside. Then it's visible - then it's there. Then people can see it. Now she has something to focus on when she reaches out for help. She doesn't believe that her parents will help. She doesn't believe that the councilors can help. But she needs someone to help. And like you said - you are only in 8th grade. You are at the same level she is right now. You can't see any better than she can. But her parents probably can. The councilors - this is what they are there for! They are trained to be able to see and know what to do to help. She is reaching out for help in the wrong places. The best thing to do is bring it to the right place.

So either way, she needs help. Either way, the people who can help her are the people that she doesn't want you to tell. Whether they need to help her learn how to keep friends without being manipulative, or help her learn how to deal with her feelings in a healthy way, her parents and the councilors are the ones who can help the most.

Thank you so much for all this helpful advice. I will definitively talk to the guidance councilor about this, I just needed to know it that was the correct decision. My parents dont know about this and i'm afraid the councilor will tell them about this. They didn't want me hanging out with Lucy and they wont let me hang out with her if they find out. Thats something that i'm scared about.

I agree with Mariko. Well parents just want to protect you and they aren't wrong since she's going so far to trouble you. With friends let them know you're there for them but you're also not going to get yourself hurt either. Usually people think of themselves at that point, so think of yourself as well getting involve with a serious situation if you're willing to put yourself there to protect.

Skimmed through it, but it looks to me that you're a depressed teenager who needs to realize that your emotions are you own, and that this part of your life doesn't matter to anyone currently and won't until you grow up and act like an adult

You clearly did not read through this well enough, because if you did, then you would know that OP is talking about their friend, Lucy, not them self. Secondly, what the hell kind of response is that!? That's how you tell a person with depression how to deal with their feelings? Suck it up? That DOES NOT WORK. Depression is not a simple sadness, it is not some passing feeling. It is a huge problem, and your advice will not help someone who has it. In fact, it would only serve to make them feel worse for themselves.

OP, like the others said, you need to get an adult involved. It's clear that your friend won't help herself, so you need to get an adult to intervene before it is too late. Even if you're wrong, you're doing everything you can to help your friend. Good luck, and I hope that everything works out for the best.
