My friend, we'll call her "Alyssa", is cutting herself. She began to copy me a couple of weeks ago because she thought it was cool. I told her and showed her countless time, how it wasn't. Last Friday, she was caught by the guidance counselor, and went home and told her mom. Her mom brought her to the hospital and now she's on drugs and in therapy. She still cuts. 36 on her left arm. She admitted to me she only does it for attention. It's getting deeper and deeper and more out of hand. She started to talk about suicide this week. She told me she wanted to kill herself because life wasn't worth living. Every time I even get close to the guidance counselor to tell her, or even talk to her about MY huge problems that make me cut, "Alyssa" gets in the way. She acts out for attention, then gets it. I want to help her, and myself, but I can't. I'm afraid that any day she won't be back because she died slitting her wrists, if it be an accident from going too deep or on purpose. How can I get someone's attention about this, without "Alyssa" getting in the way?
