Tell her parents (so that she gets help) and then RUN! RUN RUN!

Years from now she’ll stop being pissed and thank you.

talke her to a therapist

But she says she’ll leave me and never take me back…

WHO CARES? Find a chick who doesn’t cut herself. The end.

Definitely tell her parents.

Tell her parents immediately, phone them now!

It started when she attempted suicide as a kid. We’ve been going out for four months. And she’s so pissed at me right now, she’s thinking about cutting. She has gone to a therapist before, but it didnt seem to help.

She says its cause of stress with me, and her family.

Her family is messed up, she might move far away. I have no idea why me.

Just mean to her, and apparently hit her. and she might move in with her real dad, who is really bad.

She says she promises she wont cut again, as long as don’t tell anyone. i really don’t believe her, she cant be trusted, but i don’t wanna lose her forever…

I used to cut myself when I was young and I think it’s quite common among young people. I wanted someone to notice, I wanted someone to help me. I was sad and I would cut my arms with razor blades and the worst thing was that no-one noticed. If you want to help her, you have to tell someone, not keep quiet about it, not ignore it.

it is worth losing her forever?

yes, if you are meant to be together, she’ll understand why you told. Maybe you could say that if she doesn’t talk to her parents about it, you will. That gives her the opportunity to ask for help herself. just tell her that you’re worried about her and want her to feel better.

Well… should i give her a chance? i mean, she says she promises she wont do it.

well, I stopped on my own, maybe she will too. But the moment she does it again, you have to get her help.

how will i know if she does it or not? she definatly wont tell me anymore.

Don’t believe her. This is a psychological problem. She is damaged goods, and if you can’t see that clearly then you are damaged as well. You need to protect yourself first, then help this girl. All these suggestions about taking her to a Dr. are great, especially if her parents are the issue.

But ill never have her again. :’(

I think TruthHurts is a bit harsh. You might never have her again but that’s beside the point. She needs your help and if you love her, you’ve got to forget about you and think about her. That means getting her help even if she dumps you for it.

oh my goodness, thank you everyone.

she already cuts where i cant see…
