   we have 3 enemies on this earth –do you know what /who they are ??–you have touched on one of them

   You are a loving person and need love in your life but your enemies are confusing you

   God gladly wants to help you in all your trials, give you something to boast about and lead you triumpfully to Heaven

   I am not preaching to you for any profit my friend . He can change your life , and quickly
   Read of His new will (after He died He left a will and your name is in it )
   Every thing I mentioned above is in 2 Corinthians in the first few pages –take the time to read it a few times

   Jon

   the 3 enemies ?? are the world—the flesh —-the devil

   look if you are really a friend…you need to tell an adult someone like thier parents or a close adult person so they can contact the people that help those kind… but you really shouldnt care if they are going to get mad at you because at the end they will thank you for saving their lives. tell someone. stand up and help.

   This whole cutting and self destruction act is a controlling action that people have found gets them attention–they suck at sports–are just plain idiots in class–no social skills–no dates–nobody hugs them at home–so they figure they will cut and someone will pay attention to them for a while–as they age they become big pains in the butt–they yell and scream and threaten for attention–and they will find some stupid person to play mommy or nurse to be with them–isn’t that sad??? I say ignore them and let them cut their hand off–it’s not your hand–not your family memeber–so why fall for the game?? Mind your own business-stay away fromthese creepy losers–they are a big pain in the ass–they need to get their butts kicked–my kid would be in jail if he was out embarrassing me in public–I would give him all the attention he wants–rights across the face. Stop the bleeding heart act–it is sickening–let them all bleed to death–they are just doing it for attention. ignore them

   pray for them, let god know whats going on.
   Try to get them to accept the lord into tthier life.
   Pray with them
   Talk to them.
   Tell them cutting helps for a while, but the pain they feel wont go away unless they talk. Make an effort, my bestfriend did and saved my life.

   Just remaining their friend is a lot of help. You being there for them shows that you do care for them. They will not take help until they are ready to except that they have a problem.

   Wow, that’s quite a mess you are surrounded by. But, you know, there’s really nothing that you can do for them, because they’ve made up their minds.. except for one thing. And, that’s pray for them. There is a God who loves you and them and knows everything that is going on. Just reach out to Jesus, and He’ll help you and then may give you insight on how to help others. Until then, you need to get in the New King James Bible. Romans, The Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Phillippians.. John 3:16 & 17.. there are so many you can start with.. and then get with the mothers and tell them to start praying. There is a big war going on that you and I can’t see. We need to be wearing the armor of God before we even try to help others. The armor of God is in Ephesians 6: 10-18. In the mean time, I will be praying for you. I understand your pain. You have a wonderful, kind, compassionate heart, loving others.

   they are obviously depressed and need therapy and medication….even though they will probably say that the medication and therapy won’t work, but trust me it does wonders….i went through a couple of years of being depressed and every year…it just got worse.i went from losing my appetite to crying for hours to cutting my arms…through all that time i had not been helped and i did not believe it would work…later, i was put on medication and went to speak to someone….and now i am no longer wanting death, now i actually want to live.

   …their pain won’t go away.it will last longer!…then after they see the scars, they will be ashamed and will regret it…just like i did…it is a sin stained into their soul that needs to be cleansed..they need guidance…they really need to forget what happened if possible and seek some help and pray for them to God….

    As we all know everyone is different from one another. Some are plainly weak. They let the simplest and smallest things affect them. They take these things at heart when it shouldn’t be that way.

    First, if someone you know is cutting or has mentioned suicide, you need to tell an adult that will listen.

    Second, you can’t change someone.

    People who cut do so for various reasons: not everyone is doing it because they suck at sports as was mentioned earlier. People that do this need help to cope. Many people who cut themselves were abused when they were younger. This is something that you can deal with alone. I know someone that does this. I’m 30 and do not have the tools or knowledge to help alone. I had to tell someone that I knew would get the help this person needed.

    I also pray for this person and those that are helping. If you’re a praying person, I would also suggest that, too.

    BUT MAKE SURE YOU TELL SOMEONE THAT CAN HELP.
