Tell her to stop before taking action, because from the perspective of a third person, the act of cutting herself is going to harm her in the long-term - it harms her body physically. It is not her fault that her parents are quarrelling. Her parents are rational, responsible adults who are able to make choices for themselves. She is not to blame for the quarrel, however much she desperate or guilty she might feel. Inform a counsellor because the circumstances (her family background) are out of our control but they are also very serious.

Your health is the most important, do not harm yourself. You could try out other ways to relieve stress such as eating or taking a nap or showering :)

We will tell our friend that cutting herself will not resolve the issue but only hurt herself and others who care about her.
We would tell her that a lot of people appreciate her and she should not resort to such measures to release her feelings.

1. We should tell her to stop and think whether cutting herself will really solve the problem.
2. What some other ways which you can cope with your emotions (e.g. exercising, listening to music)
3. Remind her of the support systems which she can turn to for help and advice.

- Tell her that she shouldn’t blame herself for the actions of others
- Tell her that her parents’ arguments are something that cannot be controlled by her, but what she can do is to improve herself
- She can talk to a trusted adult (teacher, counsellor) or friends (not Gary) and reach out for help
- she can find other ways to distract herself to find a relief for her problems. While this is only a short term solution, it can help to alleviate her stress
- self harm will not make things better
- She should think about the consequences of cutting herself on her body and mind

Stop and think about the consequences of taking drugs, such as a lifetime addiction to drugs, unstable mental state etc. Think about your family and friends, they may be implicated by your drug usage and worry excessively for you.

SAY NO TO DRUGS

Before taking action, he should take a step back. Ask him what he is gaining from his brother's friends. What is he looking for in them that is so unique to them? Is he feeling lonely? Is he feeling pressured to take e-cigarettes? Why does he think his friends are asking him to do so?

Tell him that e-cigarettes are very dangerous to his health and it is very addictive. He is endangering his life and the problem can be fixed. Tell him that taking an e-cigarette is illegal, so he faces a jail term. Is going to jail more serious than an examination? What would his brother say when he finds out about this?

1. Are these people really setting a good example for him?
2. Tell him that the substance offered will cause him to be less stressed, but does not address the real problem of his grades being bad, and will only harm him in the long term instead.

We will tell him that vaping may provide short-term relief from stress but will only bring about long-term health problems. If his brother is encouraging him to vape, he should also tell his parents.

- choose not to go to jail with them for taking drugs
- do not succumb to peer pressure when you know that it is not the right thing to do
- stand up for what is right
- addiction starts from the very first dosage, so say not to drugs!
- if they offer you drugs, they are not your friends
- there are bigger fish in the sea, so don’t limit yourself to bad friends
