I am so sorry to hear about that. I also want to thank everyones contributions to this thread. Recently, my friend has aquired many of the characteristics described in here. Slitting his arms, talking about suicide. None of my friends knew what to do. We all knew that his parents needed to know, but none of us wanted to tell them. Now I know what I have to do, no matter how hard it might be. So thank you to the person who sent me this thread and to all of the replies to this thread. Carolyn I will pray for you and your family.
