Hi. My name is Kenzie and I’m 14. l feel really bad about myself, so sometimes I would cut, until I saw blood. To punish myself. But I stopped. It’s really hard to hide, and the one person who knew, it tore them apart. Life is getting slightly better. Until today. My best friend said she’s had enough. Her family pushes her around and her slut of a sister is always telling her she’s worthless. She wants to cut. And I don’t think she knows how addictive it is. I have no way of telling her about me, because that would influence it more. I’m not suppose to tell anyone, and I don’t know how to stop her. Her family is overbearing, and I think she wants to end it soon.

i recommend you should talk to each other about each others feelings. Im bad at giving advice sorry but there’s reason why your heart is still beating. Im a freshman but and I started to realize this could be the depression years but im gonna get throught it. Im not gonna let it get to me. Dont let it take over your life BE STRONG and STAY STRONG
You could try speaking to her hypothetically and make it look as if you have done research on the topic out of concern for her wellbeing.
I think you should do what Duke says. And try to be there for your friend. One of my best friends (one who no longer talks to me) she went through cutting and depression and suicide thoughts. I told her what was going on with me and I think I might have hurt her because she barely got over her problems in a little more than a year ago. She told me before she ditched me that it was like watching herself go through it all over again. Painful for her and me. But why can’t you tell your friend? I mean she is your best friend.
It’s might be best if you encourage her to find a safe adult to talk to.
You sound like a great friend.
