threaten her, If she doesn't stop you will tell someone else about it. Its a stupid thing to do in the first place and she can kill herself instantly!

She told you, that means she's reaching out for help. You need to get her help from somebody who will understand like a counseler rather than somebody who will do more harm. Most parents make the situation worse because they think yelling and groundings will stop the activity, rather than trying to solve the reason she is harming herself in the first place.

I'm a mom. I would want to know. I wonder if you could share this information with your own mom or a trusted adult friend and let them handle it for you. The guidance counselor is probably a good person to speak with if there is no one else.

Recently, my 15 year old daughter shared some pretty serious information with me about her best friend and some other friends. It was weighing very heavy on her mind. And then it weighed heavily on my mind. I did not know what to do with the information, but finally had the opportunity, in a discussion with the best friend's mom to alert her, without specific allegations about her daughter, just raise her awareness and give her reason to check some things out. I don't think I could have lived with myself had I kept the information to myself and something horrible happened to the girl.

My daughter has lost her friends due to my action, but she does not blame me. She is glad I said something. She continues to worry about them, as I do, but I think at this point, we have done all we can. She says it was worth that risk to get the information out in the open.

I will keep you in my prayers. I know this is a heavy burden for you to be bearing.

Yesterday I told her to stop or I will tell someone. She told me I was lying and wouldn't tell. Today she came to school and seemed sick, so I decided to tell someone, I am so worried about her. I told the school Guidence Counselor and she told me that she won't tell my friend it was me. I felt relieved, but I'm worried she'll be really mad at me for it. She wasn't in last hour today, so I'm guessing her mom found out. I hope she goes to the doctor or something.

Thanks again for all your advice. Logan, that's good of you to do that for the girl but also not come right out and say it. I hope she got the help she needs, as I hope my friend does, too.

Good for you. You did the right thing and probably saved her life!

What a good friend you are! You did the right thing....

You did the right thing.. it takes a true friend to do something like that. Just be prepared for her to be mad & hate you for a long time. I did the same to my friend & its now 8yrs later & I finally got her to talk to me.

Also did the same to my sister. I called the cops on her, told mom & dad, told the school.. I tried to tell everyone... It kind of worked, but the fact that my mother didn't care, made things harder. I ended up getting in trouble, but I kept at it. My sister is now a much better person & understands why I caused so much shat.

You saved her life!
