I just don't know what to do...

Cutting is a sign of depression, cutters are crying out for help, very few ever kill themselves. I have a friend who did this when she was in high school. She told me how she felt and wished that her mom would have gotten her help, but she felt all alone and had no one to turn to. Her life is a horrible mess now. This boy needs help ASAP he is very depressed. Right now his threats to you are frightening but he is not your responsibility. I would advise him to get therapy, or to talk to someone, a teacher perhaps. Then you need to stay away from him till he is mentally well. Perhaps you could tell your mom what you have told us and she can talk to his mom. Cutters hide this, I am sure his mom has NO idea, she just thinks her son is angry all the time. If it was my daughter I would want someone to tell me so I could get her help. She might be mad at first but after she gets help that would all change. Good luck to you this is not an easy place to be. Confide in your mom and trust her, it will be a burdon off your mind.

I am very sorry you are going through this. I would talk to someone, it is not safe for him to be doing these things to himself, someone should know so that he can be taken care of.

The same thing happend to my sister. This guy, Tyson liked my sister, and my sister liked him for a while, but she knew there was something weird about him. We all figured out that Tyson had been going through a lot of depression, and the school and his teachers know, so that he can be monitored closely. He has had treatments and stuff, but he hasn't gotten much better. When my sister told him that she didn't want to go out with him or anything more than friends, he cried and threatend to kill himself and stuff. This upsetted her, so a lot of people got involved. He's done this to 2 of my other friends also, making them feel guilty. He needs a lot of help, but hopefully he can get through it.

I really hope your friend can get through this. He needs help though. It is not your fault at all, he has obviously been struggeling with this for a while. {{HUGS}}
