What should I do..., .. Options

[literemix24]

Okay, this isn't about me, its about my friend. One of my best guy friends, lets call him Phil, he's going out with one of my "old" friends. Phil and my old friend have been going out for about a week. At first it was really sweet and all, he walked her home and held hands and all that. Anyway, but somehow lately the relationship has been going haywire (the past two days). Phil is going suicidal, and he was starting to cut. Today, in our talent class, I saw him picking at his cut, and the day before he kept on cutting his skin w/ a pen, his flesh was sorta raw. Then at lunch, he went over to my old friend's table, and they started talking. Then suddenly he got provoked to walk over to the door and punch the glass. The glass cracked, and I heard from a teacher, that the window was supposively "unbreakable", also, the glass pane had wires embedded into it. Somehow, he broke through it, and yes REALLY broke through it, there were shards of glass in his hand. My old friend had wanted to break up with him on that day, but she hadn't brought it up yet. She was going to get back w/ her former flame. So should she break up with him? Personally I don't know what to do, and shes asking for advice. I don't think she should break up with him yet, at least not until hes stable enough.

wow... this situation is really serious. i personally think that your old friend should continue going out with him and give him emotional support. if she breaks up with him now, Phil might think shes breaking up with him because of his actions and get mad. and since he broke through the unbreakable glass, think about what could happen to her. i would suggest that you accompany him to a therapist/psychiatrist. give him emotional support. and your old friend, she should break up with him when hes better, and when hes stopped thinking about suiciding and has stopped cutting.

does your friend know WHY he's acting like this? because she/you should really find out, because maybe that will help you resolve this problem. no, i don't think she should break up with him just yet...

[_sarcastic_]

talk to him about it, tell him that his getting everyone worried. she should break up with him since he broke a supposedly unbreakable glass, he might be abusive towards her. but the two of you should be there to support him whenever he needs someone

wow this is the first time i've heard about this.. you should tape his wrist with duct tape to prevent from cutting j/j. hmmm... maybe it has to do with his life, she should site down and talk to him about what's happeneing and why hes acting like that...second, if its no use....talk to his parents or get some advicecs from adults

Oh man, that guy must have some sort of family issues or maybe anger management, i think you should tell your friend to talk to him about what he's doing. Tell her to tell him that she's not happy with the fact that he's being so suicidal. And if this continues she'll have to think over the relationship. I had this problem when I had my first bf, he played with a lighter all the time and everytime I smacked his hand and told him to stop, it worked for a little while but not really.

Well... she should break up with him... I mean if the feeling isnt there anymore than whats the point?

Be there for Phil when she breaks up with him.....

i dont think she should break up with him right away. maybe hint at it, but make sure you and her are there for him to help him out. talk to him.

[bambamboozle]

as other people said, talk to him and get him some help...if she breaks up with him now you never now what could happen, someone could get hurt
