She is still naive, thinking that no one can help her. You have to show her that she needs to be helped, and even scare her a little if you must. People don’t realize things until they see them for themselves. You have to tell someone…she may hate you for it, but she will thank you for doing the right thing and getting her to stop eventually. Being her friend right now is just enough for you to help her though.
My good friend was in the same situation that you’re in, except I was the one that started SI. She did the right thing, by making me tell my parents or else she would tell someone. I wasn’t too happy w/ her at first, but I’m so thankful that she made me tell an adult now.
I’m so sorry about your friend. I’ll pray for both of you. I hope it works out, somehow. Things always seem to. Stay strong and have faith.
just let her know that you know what shes going through and if she wants help or just someone to talk to that you’ll be there for her
