I'm supporting Moriah's notion that yesterday was the weirdest day ever....i have been saying it all day and am surprised that Moriah had so many unusual stories too

i'm friend's trolling and i came across your entry.
here is a list of resources on SI*. this page is particularly helpful.
i read another one of your entries about this person, and i agree with the previous comment. if you're privy to her state of mind, you owe it to your own conscience to alert someone who will take action, like a school official. most public schools have a traveling psychologist whom you can contact. bottom line is, whatever she ends up doing: if you don't take an action you'll have guilt do deal with later, and no one needs that.
in my experience, i've found parents reach a type of emotional exhaustion when they first deal with their child's SI, and this exhaustion takes the edge of their reactions to anything else. its as if they're numb. i don't know this persons parents, or the nature of their relationship, but this could explain some of their reaction, or her perception of their reaction.
i hope you don't take offense to my intrusion.
*by SI i mean Self-Injury, not to be confused with suicidal ideation, which it seems this girl is also manifesting, based on your other entry.
don't worry; i'm not offended. you see, the only problem is that she doesn't go to my school and i was introduced to her through a friend on the internet. so basically i only know that one person that knows her and i've only spoken to her on AIM. so there's nothing i can really do. but she tells me that she has friends that are on top of it for her so i dont think i have to worry. i'll ask her next time i talk to her if she told her parents. she's usually good about it....well, thats what she tells me....she could be just lieing. and the sad thing is...i've mostly lost contact with the friend that knows her so if she did kill herself....i would never know. i would just be emailing her to check up on her but never get a response back. And the fact that she's not responding doesnt mean anything because she goes through these times where she wont talk to me and wont email me back for sometimes months at a time. ::sigh:: i guess all i can do is remember that i'll meet her in person one day in paradise
