...problem.? i have this friend paige*. paige is my age; 15 years old. her boyfriend is 17; almost 18. paige has been through a lot. she doesn't really talk to any of her friends anymore.. and she kinda shut them out.. the reason of this is her mother cheated on her dad with a guy probably 25 years younger than her mom. the guy is 21, her mom is 46. the 21 year old and her mom broke up so paige's mom got really depressed. she pretty much won't take shit from anyone.. and trashes paige every chance she gets. her mom is a manic depressive. paige has kinda picked up on her mother's depression.. she feels it with her mom. . but her mom pretty much hates her and said it herself. paige has been burning herself and cutting herself to kind of keep sane.. she even drinks occassionally. she won't tell her boyfriend or her friends anything about this hurtful problem.. she tells her boyfriend parts.. but because of this they fight a lot.. he's trying to help her.. but paige is paige. what should ido

apparantly, you really know a lot about this. as a friend you should confront her with this problem yourself. im for certain theres a LOT of things you can say to her bout the problem than what her bf could say

if she's burning and cutting to keep sane, she already isn't, seek professional help FAST.

You should pray for her and try to help her out through this difficult time. It will be rough and emotionally draining for you... but what would you rather have happen - you be without energy, or her commit suicide? (this kind of destructive behavior can lead to suicide).Be strong.
