okay my friend (my BEST friend ive know since 1st grade) just had some testest and now we know she has ADHD and Social Axiety. yeah oh and shes 14. anyway she is taking some medicaion but that has some "side affects." there was one day where she wouldnt go home (like after school) but she was REALLY dizzy and she was still walking around the neighborhood crying and like not even walking straight. anyways thats over but latly shes been cutting herself. now yeah shes stupid. SHE blams it on the medicine which i think i half the reason. & now, her boyfriend (who is also my friend so i can talk 2 him) is ignoring her cuz she supposably promissed she wouldnt cut herself again, then the next day she had cuts on her cuz she said her and our friend hailey were just "messing around." they are SO stupid and i dont know what to do. i cant really do anything really cuz its their lives even though i do care about them but they wouldnt listen to me.
what should i do? anything at all? im scared.

if i were in ur position id be really scared too. my friends are very important to me. i would never want them to do anything to hurt themselves. if i were u, i would tell her that. tell her that she is a good person and that nothing is wrong with her. tell her that she doesnt deserve wat she is doing to herself. i did that before when my friend was in a REALLY bad mood. she was happy the next day.

Ok I know that your friend and everyone will think your stupid if you tell on her with the doctor, trust me I am 13 and I know what kids think but you really need to tell a doctor and tell the doctor that it was unanomis and if some how she found out I sure after she is done and stoped cutting herself from her help she will thank u and u wont look stupid anymore

i think the first thing you should do is talk to her, but since you already said she wouldnt listen to you, you should tell her parents IMMEDIATLEY. though she might hate you for the first couple of days, or weeks, your friend will thank you after it all for possibly saving her life, and for stopping something that could have become a SERIOUS problem. also, try to reccomend some kind of psyciatrist or psyciatrist. but you should also tell the therapy person about her reaction to the medication. <3

The sad fact of the matter is that you can't change anyone. Your friend is having psychological issues and she is the only one that can help herself.
In the meantime, the more you give her attention for doing things like cutting herself, the more likely it is that she will keep doing it because by giving her attention, you are rewarding her behavior.
