I have a friend that has started cutting.She used to listen to rap, like school, love life, etc.In the past few weeks she has changed. She now only wears clothes from hot topic,listens to hard rock, and as I have learned,recently started to cut herself. I can understand that the changes in style and music are normal. But the self-harming is what i'm worried about.I self-harmed and cut my wrist before and so this problem is no stranger to me. But Im scared because this new habit of hers is getting much worse in a short period of time. It has been 3 weeks and she now has 20+ cuts, doing usually 4 at once. She says she likes the pain and it feels good.The source of the problem is her boyfriend. He is depressed suicidal and uses a lot of drugs. He thinks it's hot when she cuts and introduced it to her. She thinks shes in love and gettin married w/ him(shes 14)she cuts when hes sad.Im scared of what she might to if he dumps/cheats on her.Suicide seems likely if so. what do i do?
