My little sister, who is 17, has been cutting herself for about a year now. She is in therapy, but is now quitting. She had a drug overdose about 5 months ago and now has a food disorder. She listens to hard metal and wears really dark eye makeup and wears only while and black striped clothing, or just black. She is depressed ALL the time. We are pretty close, she tells me everything. She doesn't get along well with our mom, they fight constantly. She just told me that she is bi-sexual and that she really doesn't want to stop cutting herself becuase she feels it's a part of who she is. How should I react to that. I tried to be supportive of her decisions to be bi right off but told her I would rather she wasn't. I've tried to get her help for all her problems but I work 24/7 and can't be there for her as much as she needs. My parents aren't doing anything about it....what help can I offer as a big sister? Any advice would help...thanks :)
