My friend is slowly turning very emo whether she knows it or not?

Question

My semi- good friend of 2 years has been turning very emotional and needy of attention. When we questioned her about why she was acting all gloomy and sad she came back to school and pretended like she had cut herself with a big bandage. We believed it and were scared for her. Then she started lying about how she was moving to lebanon or that her nice and really cool older brother beats her and hurts her emotionally. She also started taking what she called drugs which turned out to be just caffeine pills_ honestly i think id be better without her as a friend because i dont trust her or like her but what can i do to help her be a better person? should i just let her go?

Answer 1

She needs help. it sounds like she might have emotional problems, or possibly suffering from depression.She might also just be a drama queen that needs attention.Either way, I think you should tell her parents, or a counselor at school, because if she is serious, she COULD hurt herself and she can be helped. And if she is NOT serious, her jokes are NOT funny and she will lose good friends like you. She'll be embarassed if you call her out, but she needs to understand that her behavior is NOT acceptable.

Answer 2

She is calling out for help. Have a talk to her, then have a talk with your school counsellor about her, then have a talk with her parents about it.

There s probably something in her lfe that is causing this reaction, you will have to dig to find it.

Or you can move on and hope you don't have to read her obituary later. I guess only time will tell how good a friend you are.

Answer 3

Have a talk with her first and see if there are reasons she is wanting all this attention. Then if no change, then maybe you may have to go separate ways!!

Answer 4

she has some serious psy issues and i bet she feels left out liek she isnt worth anything so she has to do the harm thing to get the deepedst sympathy she can.
