I'm really worried for her and also angry at the friend who told me as she was talking about how stupid our friend were and that if she wanted to end her life, why didn't she do it? Not only that,this friend also mention to a few other friends,which those friends responded with "She's been doing that in class too." "She is just looking for attention! What the hell is she trying to do?!"
I cannot believe at how insensitive these people are being. I just am so disgusted by their attitude. I wanted to help my friend but I don't know how. I have little to no experience when it comes to dealing with this. I understand that there's no real and straight-forward answer but please help. I don't know whether to approach her about the cutting or not. But I do want to help her. I feel like no one else is trying to help her. They're all telling her to 'get over it'. As someone who gets panic attacks from time to time, I know that there's nothing worse than to hear someone telling me 'To get over it' when 'it' is something that you can't really help.
Please help.
A concerned friend.
