I'm in 8th Grade and just found out my girlfriend cuts herself! I want to help, but what 2 say!

:-/

Definitely talk to a principal/GC/teacher. This isn’t a problem you can “fix” on your own.

Yes I definatly will! I have a high school friend that rides my bus that used to cut. She found porn on her boyfriends phone and was very mad shortly after she found out about this he found out that she cut. They both had reasons to break up with each other but they didn’t. They both promised never to do what they did again! This was 3 years ago and are still together to this day!!! I was thinking about doing something like that but I don’t have any reasons for her to break up with me!

Eh, I used to cut myself because I was too afraid to kill myself but was depressed due to a serious issue.

IMHO, you are too young to be worrying about boyfriend and girlfriend crap. If she is your friend, and you found out accidentally that she cuts herself, tell her you are concerned and you will be there for her if she wants to talk.

I don’t think narcing on her is helpful, her parents probably know and are trying to get her help. If they don’t know, you could ask her to reach out to them or another adult.

Don’t start relationships too young, you’ll be creating unhappiness for little reason at a very difficult time in your lives. I have a friend who had a baby at 14 and she was really messed up by it, let alone her kids (another kid at 15 too).

I appreciate you replying. I don’t think telling a councilor is narcing… I just want to get her help! And relationships at a young age isn’t a bad thing! Personally, I think that relationships at a young age are actually a good thing! Especially for the boy in the relationship! It can teach him the do’s and the dont’s of how to treat a lady!

Thank you guys for your advice! I will update you tomorrow around 2:45 pm M.T.
