Don't be fake

So one of my friends in my cosmetology class talked to me yesterday. This is what she said:

"So...I did some bad things this weekend."
I assumed drugs.

"Look."
She showed me two baby cuts on her wrist. Sideways, and not even deep enough to leave a scab.

So I responded "Oh, I'm sorry."

"It's okay, there's nothing you can do about it. It's the first time I've done this. I told my mom and my boyfriend and my teachers and my principle and my councilors. My mom's taking me to the doctor to make sure I'm not depressed."
Okay, wait, what? You told absolutely everybody? You're going to the doctor to make sure you're not depressed? You've never even mentioned anything like that. You said it yourself you've never done this before. You've got to be freaking kidding me.

"So, why did you do it?" I asked because I honestly don't understand this girl.

"I don't know, I knew other people did it so I tried it."
WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU THINKING. People who self harm don't do it to cause a scene and tell their teachers and their parents and their whole town. Ah, it's so annoying that she would do such a thing and not have a reason behind it. But just wait, it gets worse.

"Look what I posted, *Shows me a picture of her with a shadow on her face and her hair in the way with the caption: Sometimes bad things happen to good people.*"
Barf.

"Zach sent me this. *shows me a text that reads: Sweetybear I love yuuuu seeing yu lik this makes me sad. Cuz I dont want 2 see yu sad baby. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)* Isn't he so sweet?"
Wowowowowowowowowow no.


Needless to say, I'm not exactly her friend anymore. I mean it's one thing to cut just to see what it feels like, but another thing entirely just to cut and then cause a scene. And it's not even the first time she's done something like this. The last time she tried being "hurt" she went around telling people she hated herself and that she was going to starve because she couldn't loose weight any other way. (We won't go into detail about the rest of that convo because I'd probably get mad all over again.) Moral of the story, don't be fake.
