It seems I cant stop posting pointless threads about this issue but this problem has just surfaced.

At the beginning of the school year I made a new friend, lets call her Jade, and we became close fast. I felt like I could tell her alot of things about me because we seemed to be able to relate to eachother in a way that not many people can relate. I told her about my depression, about my thoughts of suicide, and (with poor judgement) about my problem with self injury.

She has sort of started to make fun of me because I dont do it where her other friend did. And Im just wondering, is she really a good friend if she starts joking about that?

(I have a similar thread about this, about not thinking people will take it seriously, and to everyone who read it, this thread explains why I was worried)

my friends do the same thing you just gotta swallow it and show them it doesnt effect you even if it does. cause theyll keep doing it otherwise. and the answer is she probably isnt the best of friend if she is doing that... in my opinion anyway.

I have a friend who does the same thing... i told him about my self injury and he'd make fun of it.... so I stopped hanging out with him so much and we dont talk much anymore... if this friend is hurting your feeling by making fun of you then i'd consider not being friends anymore or asking this person to stop making fun of you.

Well, I think a general rule is if someone makes fun of you or otherwise makes you feel bad when you are around them, they aren't really worth being friends with. Why be friends with someone that makes you miserable, when there are plenty of people out there who would make good friends?

its just their immature way of not being able to accept it. but you also have to realize that its not something they should have to accept and its an impurity in you and you shouldn't do it but if you must, you must, just work on getting better. how do you do that? maybe you can find a friend to talk to.

I do have to make a point that no one has said.. It may be that she isn't the right friend for you, but she could honestly care about you. I know people that do care, but when a serious issue comes up with a friend that they don't know how to help they act really weird about it. Maybe they'll avoid the subject when you start, maybe they'll distract you when you really want to talk, or, in your case, make fun of it. I could be wrong but it is a possibility. In her own twisted way, she could be trying to help you by making jokes about it to get you to laugh. It's obviously not a good way to help, but you might want to talk to her about it. If the problem doesn't get solved, then it's best for you to change paths. You'll never know if you don't bring it up.

Thanks.
That was probably the most helpful thing anyone has said,
and its what Ive been thinking about too.

Lmao
o_O "Impurity".
Sounds like one of those stupid christian brain washers.
Please, to the next person that wants to post that, just do yourself and I a favor and dont.

I understand you were trying to help, but I dont need to be told my way of coping with things is an "impurity".
Kthnx.

Tell her she's upsetting you. If it carries on and she doesn't listen, stop hanging out with her.
Good luck x

Did she really made fun of your self-injuring ******** s**t-a** b***h! I hope she gets cancer in the tits!

The next time she dares coming out with these jokes, tell her to GTFO, and that since she is not your friend, you ain't her friend anymore. Do it. NOW!

That is not funny. At all.

I HATE it when people make fun of cutting. That is NOT something to EVER make fun of.

That's mostly why I hate the whole "emo" thing right now. To some people, if you're emo you cut your wrists and if you cut your wrists your emo. It's another ******** stereotype.

Cutting is different than that.

The way I see it, it's personal. If you don't know how to release anger in any other way but to hurt yourself, then that's one thing, but if you're going to ******** go around showing people and telling them you're emo or some bull s**t then that's just stupid.

[/rant]

Anyways, that is not right. You should really talk to her about it, and tell her it's not something to broadcast, treat you differently for, or make you feel worse than you already could.

If she continues to do what she's doing, then she does not ******** deserve to be your friend.
