Hey i read your poem and i know what it is like to watch a friend do that to themselves... at first it is hard to understand why they do it and unless you ever go through a hard time and do it yourself you wont know why they do it...my friend started doing it a couple years ago but she got help and she quit for the most part...every now and then she will do it when her parents start doin what they used to and even now i am doin it to myself...i am tryin to quit but it isnt easy...its like a feeling of control...see i didnt start doin it until something really bad happend to me and i just picked up a kitchen knife and cut my leg...i didnt want people to know so i didnt do it my wrist but its still the same and i am tryin to stop but it is hard...i dont really have any advice but to just let her know how you feel about it and try to understand why she is doing and what has happend to her to cause her to do it...for me it was something really bad that wasnt my fault...i was raped and it was a feeling of losing somethin i cant get back and when i start thinkin about it i just want to cut but i tell myself no soo many times....it is getting easier...people respond to different things so maybe she just needs someone to talk to...i hope i helped atlest a little bit

Well I don’t know how long ago this was or anything but I’ll try and help. Even though ma advice may not work or u don’t have to follow through it..
Well I think the main thing is to be there for ur friend no matter what and never give up on her always always support her. But just try slowly to make her stop I mean if she feels the urge to cut. Tell her to use a pillow n scream in it. (I do that lol)..or go the gym and hit the punching bag. You can ask her to write out how she feels. U can try yoga( I know it seems a lil wacko) to relies ur energy I think lol….
I don’t know just try and talk to her to c a counselor? She may not like it but if that’s the case u know u’ve tried. But don’t give up just yet (lol)……really I don’t know what else to do or say that can help you to help ur friend….but the main thing just Try not to give up…
Love dia mwaz xoxo

I really like this poem. I felt the emotion, the pain. It reminds me of myself so I could really connect. An awesome poem!!
