Her name is Taylore. She doesn't eat and she isolates herself by listening to her iPod and playing her guitar. She cries sometimes when she thinks no one is watching and is 'scared of being rejected' and she always looks sad. I told the school counsler and the counsler talked to her and now Taylore is soooooo mad at me for 'telling on her'. But didn't I do the right thing? Now I'm not so sure...

Yes you did the right thing. Your friend may be amd at you but you were beign a good friend, you knew she needed help. When i was in middle school my friend told on me to the counsler. i was mad at hr for awhile but i soon realized she did the right thing and forgave her. MY friedn saved my life and know you have saved your friends life. Just give it time soon she will realize that you did the right thing. Continue to be there fo rher and support her, and hopefully things get better soon.

I think you are a sweetie for being so concerned for your friend. Taylore is lucky to have such a caring kind friend. Don't worry she will get over being mad at you give her a day or two to calm down. Taylore has to know that you care about her or you would not have given a darn if she was depressed or not. I say good for you for noticing someone else besides yourself. The world is short on kindness and you are refreshing.

In my humble opinion you did precisely the right thing, you took action to try to help a friend who was/is in trouble.
Sure she's angry, it is a defense mechanism. In her present state of mind she sees it as a betrayal.
Try to hang in there with her and remain her friend, because so far it sounds like you have been a good one, and she needs her friends more now than ever.
Chances are good that she will come, in time, to recognize yours was an act of caring and compassion and not a betrayal.

Yes, you were being a true friend. She may be mad now, but when she sees the way and starts to realize what her problems are she will know you meant well and was a great friend. Let her be mad now, she will get over it..
Just remember you could have saved her life from suicide......xx

You did the right thing. Think about how badly you would feel if she was suicidal and you had not acted. (Now you know how parents feel when they have to "do the right thing," when the person wants to be left alone.)
You were being a true friend even if she can't see it right now, depression often messes with judgment.
