If your friend is really a friend and you want to salvage your friendship, I think you should sit down with her and discuss how you really feel.  You should let her know that it really upset  you when she did what she did, and that you don't relish the chance of that happening again, that it's not acceptable behavior from someone who says she's a friend.

I was also molested as a child and i learned to get over it. All your friend needs right now is someone to support her and you can be that person for her. In time she will let go of the past but in the meantime her family and friends need to be there for her.

It's bad. She needs help. Tell an adult you trust. \n\nhttp://www.palace.net/~llama/psych/injury.html\n\nMaybe this site will explain things to you a bit better. Help her before it's too late.

Wow that is a hard one, I think that your friend should tell her mom that she found the stuff and that she is upset that she is doing those kinds of things. I mean maybe she can get her to go to get help and talk to someone. Maybe your friend can also tell her mom that she is afraid she will die and she will lose her. A little bit of a guilt trip on mom.. Good luck both of you

It sounds to me she is not your friend at all.  Just because your parents are friends doesn't mean you have to be friends with her. Tell your parents what she has been doing.  Don't carpool with them anymore, distance your way from her.  You don't deserve that.

this is a very serious, yet common thing for many young girls to do. The reason people do this is because they are in so much emotional pain and they do not know how to direct it. They cut because the physical pain feels better than the emotional pain. They cut because when it hurts physically, then its a reason to cry and it's like a catalyst to letting out some of the emotional pain. Some cut because they feel completely numbed emotionally and they just want to feel something. Your friend needs help. Encourage her to seek some counseling. If she is a minor, she needs to talk with a school counselor and/or her parents. No boy is worth going through everything she is going through. I know of a really excellent article that discusses this subject in more detail.

Verbal abuse or physical abuse is when you have carried out your actions and have left scars. Abuse is a lot more different than harsh punishment because punishment is really just meant to discipline your kids. Abuse is a form of action that is carried out usually by anger and unreasonable situations. Sometimes, parents spank their kids and a quick sting is felt but that hardly helps any. Leaving bruises and getting whipped with a stick will probably just make matters worse - she probably will never do it again but not because she had learned, because she is afraid of being abused again. A lot of parents have a strict outlook on how to discipline their kids and some may not realize that what they are doing is illegal and that they are abusing their kids. Tell your friend that if they hit her again and leave bruises - she has the power to report them and they will know to never touch her again or they will be the ones that get punished. Wish you and your friend the best! =]

The damage is done - you've already ****** him, so now you need to have some respect for your friend and tell her the truth. You're too worried about what she'll say to YOU, and how YOU'll feel. . . when what you should really be concerned about is how she's going to take the fact that you've been lying behind her back for the past while. Just fess up already - you'll BOTH feel a lot better in the end about it.

It sounds as if your friend suffers from serious depression. I know your intentions to help her are good, but if her condition is due to psychological causes there is nothing you can do for her. She definitely needs professional help. Can't you talk to her parent about this? They have to do something less it ends in a tragedy. I admire you for being such a wonderful friend to her. And believe me, one day she will be grateful too.

usually, a cutter is releasing emotion thas pent up. it would very helpful for to learn positive ways to express her emotions. you don't give an age, but i would assume you are teens?  you say she is having problems with her parents? thats not real specific, but if they are hurting her, there are people to help.  remember, most peopole who cut themselves are afraid to let a lot of people know, because they are judged just wanting attention, however i know its not always true.if a counselor isn't available, check out a library in the social service area and look for a book that could help.  good luck to you both, and how lucky is she to have such a great friend like you.

You should absolutely go to the police.  Whether he's been a good friend to you or not, he is hurting children and he will not stop until someone stops him.

You most definitely did the right thing. After she gets help and cleans up she will eventually realize that you were looking out for her. I have been in a similar situation only I was in the position that your friend is in. I was furious at the friend that ratted me out and I reacted the same way. After I cleaned up my act and got counseling, I realized my life would have been ruined if it weren't for the one person that truly cared enough to tell someone so I could get help. Give her time and space and when she calls (and she will) just offer your friendship again and give her all of the love and support you can. Good luck!

If your friend is cutting herself you need to tell someone.  She could really hurt herself and the longer she does it the worse that it will get.  She has to resolve these issues with her mom somehow in order for things to get better.  Your friend might not want you to tell, but for her own good someone needs to know who can help her.\nHave you thought about talking to your mom about this?  Your mom might be able to help and/or talk to your friend's mom about whats going on with her.  Maybe even have your friend talk to your mom - someone needs to help her with her emotions and the problems she is having at home.
