My Friend Has Started Smoking, Drinking And Cutting Her Wrists Up, What Do I Do?
my friend, 13 has started to drink ALOT of alcohol and is getting drunk almost every night and is nicking fags and is smoking loads everyday and she is only 13. she becomes very stressed when she doesn’t have a cigarette and is becoming very depressed due to her dad is in hospital with a failing heart and is dieing. she is cutting all her wrists up she ran out of room on one side of her arm and has turned it over, all the way up to her bicep. it is very sick and sad and her parents don’t know and she is drinking more and cutting herself more without even realizing when she is drunk. i went to see a teacher but they said they we have to see a certain person, turns out she HATES that person, she doesn’t know we are gonna tell someone and we will fall out about it if she finds out we have told someone. we are the only people that know and she will hate us. i don’t know what to do, i only want to help her but i don’t want to ruin our friendship over it?? what do i do ???

I think this started out as attention seeking, but the smoking and drinking are all personal choices along with wrist cutting, it may sound mean, but in the long run turning her into the police for the alcohol could mean she gets whatched by professionals, and is made to take councelling, you can remain anonymous, and if she finds out, if she’s a friend worth having them shell forgive and thank you for practically saving her life, maybe try councelling her first yourslef though, talk to her about her dad and share with her how she feels so that she isn’t alone, don’t let it push you away when she needs you most.
