What am I supposed to do? Sit around and watch my friend get hurt?

All you can do is continue to be a good friend by listening. None of this is your fault, and you are not responsible for resolving the situation. Just make sure you are always there for your friend, as a good listener.

It takes time to heal all wounds.\nAccept the fact that you hurt your friend, you did the right thing by trying to talk to your friend, You have appologized, now wait.

I'd sit him down...If I could catch him!...and tell him what is on your mind. Tell him that you really like him and the whole point is that you want to spend time with him. Not smother him, but continue to get to know him and have fun. Be honest and tell him that you were pissed off and now hurt. It's always best to be clear..that way he can't come back later and say "but sweetie..you never told me!" And if you can't get him to sit down and talk about it, leave him a message or email....and then go out and continue to work, see your friends nad have fun. Let him catch up to you. I hate to say it, but a little hard to get can be playe both ways. Good luck and I hope it works out for you!

Hey, I'm sorry about this incident, but everything happens for a reason, and maybe this is it: reappreciating everything that you are and all that you have, giving you a different perspective of life.  I don't think its too much of you to ask your friend to be with you. But all that depends on what level and to what extent. For example she may not be comfortable with intimacy, since you are supposed to be 'friends' for now, cause I think she may think that you'd be using the accident as an excuse to have your way or gain sympathy and all that. You need to state clearly your terms for needing her, and let her know what you need her for. And if you need her for keeps and all that, then maybe you could ask her that too, but not too soon after this accident.  Take your time and see if she'd still keep coming and things may kick off from there. Glad to know you're alive and well... dudes in my town haven't been so lucky with accidents this year...

It sounds to me that you really hurt this persons feelings even if you meant to or not!  Don't let your pride ruin your friendship!  Physically violence is not the answer if you dont want to see this person face to face you can just mail a letter of apology.

Once u have a close friend, care about u,, tell him that u did something bad,, and wait to see his answer,, if he is interested,, he will tell u that u must be punished,, and u can move from here

I would tell him that he hurt me whether he was joking or not and if he apologizes, accept it. People say a lot of things they don't mean when they're mad. If he is truly your friend, he'll apologize, if he doesn't then I'd say, "Ya know what? When you decide to apologize, I'll listen, until then, I would rather not be around you."

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.

Physical violence does not equal friendship in my book.  This friend isn't a friend, but a bully.  You have another friend. Go hang out with her.  Obviously you know that what your supposed friend is doing is wrong because you are writing about it here.  Stand up for yourself against this girl: tell her to leave you alone, tell her to stop hitting you - and mean it! Tell an adult who can help you with this situation.  Friends don't hit/kick/bite/slap/spit or commit other forms of violence against friends.

I guess u can't. bcuz, the little things that girls/guys do means something to the other person alot. Would u forgive  him,if he did that w/ur friend? hey, cheer up, if he comes back, i hope you learned ur lesson and if not, move on. Cuz you can't let this bug you for the rest of ur life. plus, ur just gonna feel depress all the time. Hope everything works out! :)

Inform  her she could be seriously injured or die. Let her mother know, she needs to talk to her. If she gets mad at you for doing that, end the friendship.

YES!!!! you should definately be concerned!!!! your friend is trying to relieve anger/stress in his life by taking it out upon himself...which is not healthy at all...You should confront your friend saying that you are worried about him going too far and getting himself seriously injured! even if he admits that it will not go tnat far you should still encourage him to find alternative ways to vent out his anger...like grab a punching bag and beat the shit out of it...it works for everyone. As to him saying he likes the scars I think that is a cop-out to the real reason why he is doing it. Maybe the pain is a way to relieve his anger or maybe he feels that by burning himself, he can somehow forget the pain he was feeling and focus on the pain he is feeling due to the burning...and forget about the pain he felt and just remember the scars...but if it is not and he/she really likes scars. I would give him this advice: Scars are not cool....they are physical signs of how one has f'ed up in life, being a cut from a knife that slit his finger or arm, to a snowboarding accident that required surgery. Most scars are a visable sign to tell the wearer...damn I f'ed up Im not going to do that again...but he seems to not get the point. If you need nemore info please feel free to send me a message.\nThanks\nHope this helps

no, i do not think you should.. how would you feel if some real damage happened to  your brother... and there very easily could be.. you do not know what could happen and neither does he...people jumping on your stomach can do great damage.. he wants to prove he is tough .. for why... i would not go along with it and have it on my consious anyway...but you are the one that has to live with it if damage is done... so i hope the best for you all..
