I know something that I don't think I should.

I found out by accident that my friend self harms. She asked me to get a piece of paper from her bag, and I found a suicide note. I saw cuts on her arm, asked her about them, and she said it was red marker. I gave her the blank paper she asked for and she asked if I saw anything I shouldn't have in her bag. I said no. She admitted to me that she self harmed. I kind of have these depressing conversations with her.

(talking about lunch)
Me: So, if you hate ____ so much then why do you sit with her?
Her: I have no where else to sit.
Me: Do you sit alone at all?
Her: Sometimes.

(Her saying this to me)
Me: I sit alone at lunch.
Her: Look, it doesn't matter if nobody is sitting with you. What matters is if someone would, and I definitely would. I just want you to know that. We may never have the same lunch, but I'll always be friends with you.
*It is very accurate we'll never have the same lunch because she is in seventh grade. I'm in eleventh grade, and lunches are separated in junior high (7-8) and senior high (9-12).
My high school is grades 7-12 if anyone is wondering.

I clearly know she self harms and I feel like I should tell someone, but I don't want her to get mad at me. It's not the self harm bothering me, but the fact she may be contemplating suicide.

Should I tell someone? I don't want her to do something and have me feel like it is my fault.

Thanks! :)
We have this 7th grader-11th grader friendship going on here. :P

I'm not sure if you should tell anyone or not but if you really think shes going to
attempt i think you should tell someone and its better to be safe than sorry.

But it mite be a idea for you to encourage her to seek help and if she does
help her with seeking it.I know for me it really hard seeking help but some encouraged me and it probs saved my life at the time.

I'm not so great with advice but best of luck with her.

I don't think she is open to anyone else. She told me not to tell anybody about her cutting and I said that I wouldn't.

If you think she will do it then you better be a friend and help her someway

Despite what she said, if she says anything about suicide, you should report it. Suicide is like a cancer in some aspects. There are definite ways of preventing it but once it consumes you, there's usually no way out. :/
I'm not exactly the religious type, but your friend is in my thoughts.

Going to someone without her knowing is just going to make you seem untrustworthy and even though sometimes it's the best and only option I think in this situation you might have a chance of being able to talk to her about it. Be there for her to come to if she needs to vent and let her know that as well. If she starts to trust you more then she'll be more inclined to follow your advice and that's when you encourage her to seek alternative help. As you're older she'll already be looking up to you somewhat as well which gives you the perfect oppurtunity to direct her down the best route.

Seeing as she's actually thought out and written a suicide note I'd suggest you talk to her about it asap - even if it's awkward the outcome is going to be worth it if you can convince her to get help. Maybe find information on places she could go and people she could talk to so she has some general direction as to what she could do too.

I think this is the best option in this situation. I'll try to bring this up in a conversation with her.

Thanks, everyone. :)
