I have 2 suicidal friends, and both are cutters, 1 has done it for over a year now, and friends2 has done it since the begginign of this school year. I just found out 2 days ago. I talked to ffriend1 and she has tried to explain me her situation, Friend 1 and 2 are bestfriends, and 1 is she, she has attempted suicide 3 times now, and frind 2 I don’t really know. Friend2 mom doesn’t care, she started cutting because her mom will hit her and be mean, she even took her to the orphange because her mom had told her he didn’t want her anymore, She doesn’t want to reach for help because her mom is counselor and it will her her reputation and probably fired her, and she doesn’t want her dad or her sister affected by it. I’m really scared her last attempted has been in halloween and she has really deep cuts, and friend 1 I think she just does her wrists, but they both have tried to kill themselves and i really want to help them, please ideas? How to convince them to seek guidance or medical help!

If people want help enough, they will go and get it.
The best thing you can do is just be completely honest with them.
You friend2 should think about herself, and she obviously needs some help. and you just need to tell her this. Try to get her to talk to someone at school.
And friend1 I don’t really know her situation but maybe she just needs someone to talk to. Just be there for them x
just be there for both of them. I confided in a friend last year about my situation and it was honestly one of the best things I could have done. talking to people isn’t easy so try not to judge or be too harsh. when they are ready they will seek help. You’re a good friend for listening to both of their stories 🙂
