Basically recently two or three of my friends have told me that they SH.
I know its all my fault.. I put the idea in their heads when they saw mine back in november.. oh god. What have i done?
This is awful.. I love them to pieces, but i just feel like its all my fault and that i could have stopped them :/

I know this exact feeling. My best friend started self harming a few months after me. She hasn't stopped. She tells me it's not my fault but I honestly think that i have something to do with it. She's also told me about her suicidal thoughts and i think that my attempt may have influenced hers.

I guess if they are doing it because they've been influenced by you they won't carry on, and it's when you're addicted that it becomes a problem. Just try and tell them it's not fun, and that they shouldn't do it, but just keep an eye on it. It might not come to anything.

It's not your fault.

Think about when you started, could anyone really have stopped you. Even if they'd warned you about the addiction of it and everything else can you honestly say you'd have never done it.

And anyway even if you could have stopped them, it's done now so you can't stop them instead, and I know its hard but you need to stop blaming yourself and focus on what you can do to help them. You've been through the same thing, hopefully now this means you can help them, and understand them more than others will.

Good luck.
