So I have a friend who wants to really badly after her first time but I know she'll get addicted and eventually hate it... So any ways I could help her?

Always willing to listen

Keep her distracted.

13, gay/bi girl. Atheist, loves music, plays piano, guitar and singing. LGBT supporter (Obviously). BE STRONG!
There is no darkness without light, no day without night, no good without bad, and no love without hate.

I would definately talk to her, show she can trust you. Then encourage her to think about:

why she self harms? What are the underlying factors? How can any contributing factors be addressed on a practical level? Who can she turn to for support (other than you)?

Show that your willing to listen, and don't judge her if she opens up. Try and remind her of the things she likes about life and how she can improve things.


If you need any further help we're here if you need it,
