sisterlynch Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 The only way is to get the police over to his house as soon as possible... Link to comment
avman Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 If you are talking about who I think you are talking about then I honestly think its a cry for attention. Your friend needs professional help to sort out his behaviors and feelings. Can you talk to his parents or a school counselor about it? Link to comment
i_hate_the_world47 Posted October 1, 2004 Author Share Posted October 1, 2004 No i cant talk to his parents or anything.He lives in penssylvania and i live in california.I am worried about him but i agree with avman.It seems like he is crying for help.I just dont know how to help him. ~Meagan~ Link to comment
avman Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 Just tell him he doesn't have to exaggerate to keep your friendship. Tell him you are his friend and you accept him the way he is. Hopefully then he can feel comfortable enough to tell you whats really bothering him. Link to comment
i_hate_the_world47 Posted October 1, 2004 Author Share Posted October 1, 2004 i have tried to tell him that.He just insists that i hate him.Like today he sent me a pm saying he went to the hospital for banging his head.The sad thng is i didnt feel as bad as i should have.I felt bad but something told me he was lieing. ~Meagan~ Link to comment
avman Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 Yeah I understand what you are saying. He's looking for sympathy. But you are trying to offer an actual friendship and he isn't seeing the whole picture. You may have to try a little tough love and tell him straight out - look i care about you and want to be friends with you but you have to be truthful with me and stop the whole making up stories to get sympathy routine. That will likely be met with a reaction something like "Yeah well it doesn't matter you never cared about me anyway so I'm gonna go kill myself." You'll have to resist the urge to back down and simply let him be for a bit. He needs to understand that there are limits of what is acceptable to friends and that he needs to change his approach a bit. He will come back eventually and talk to you again. You can still be a good friend and yet set acceptable limits on what you will and won't accept from him. Once he gets past playing games you can try helping him open up a little more. Link to comment
