the only problem with informing the parents/guardian is that they might just be the problem .. i have a friend whos parents are divorced and she lives wiht her mother because she cant live with her father for various reasons .. and her mother is constantly kicking her out of the house so she spends the nights at friends' houses ...
i think that how people approach the problem depends on the problem and the person and how the person responds to it ... in my opinion, sometimes all that person needs is a shoulder to cry on and someone to listen ... but in other cases, they need more than that ... being psychiatric (psychology ??) treatment ... but as M. Krass said .. we are not a substitute for a doctor or other professional ...
