Cutting is serious, sweetie. You should talk to her, but also don't feel like it is bad to tell her parents about this. You may lose a friend, but at least she will be getting the help she needs.
I don't know the situation at home for her, but if her parents aren't an option, go to another trusted adult.
Definitely tell her parents right away. It might actually be best to tell your parents, and have them call, just so it comes from a fellow adult. Either way, they should know.
If you don't think her parents would be receptive, or you aren't comfortable talking to your parents, tell the counselor at school or another school official you trust. That having been said, your friend is overreacting. That's an easy thing to do as a teenager.
Everything seems huge and very important, and very permanent. She will get over this. You will get over this.
You didn't really do anything *that* wrong, and this is not the huge issue it's being made into. Apologize to her for violating her trust, and then let it go. If she wants to continue throwing fits, let her know you're sorry she's so upset, tell her you hope you'll be friends again one day, and then walk away.No one needs that kinds of drama.
Focus on school, your other friends, making healthy choices and doing fun things. That's just my opinion though.
OK, so let me start by saying this series to me is a bit strange. And because of that, you often have to just accept what Jenna Black tells you about this world, no matter how weird or odd it is. Kinda like how Stephenie Meyer told us all to accept the fact that Bella did not want to marry Edward, but she still was willing to give up immortality and be with him forever.
Makes zero sense, right? But you, the reader, are just suppose to accept it, otherwise, stop reading. OK, so let me start by saying this series to me is a bit strange.

But you, the reader, are just suppose to accept it, otherwise, stop reading. On to the review: We find Dana, our protagonist, still on lock-down from her Fey dad in Avalon. She apparently is not talking to Ethan, yet the book begins with her on a date with him at the movies, no less!
So I'm thinking, "Why is she even talking to this scrub?! After everything he did to her in Glimmerglass." I quickly realized this was a "just accept it" moment.
So throughout the book, in which Dana does a number of reckless things, I swear almost every guy she encounters is "so hot, with long hair." She is forever getting lost in every males eyes. It's quite annoying.
It seems, that is the only way Dana knows how to describe anyone in the book. Either that or Jenna Black considers her readers vain. Dana also has almost zero sense of self-preservation.
In ShawdowSpell the Wild Hunt comes into town lead by the Erlking. Now let's pause and look talk about him a minute. For some odd reason I seem get a picture of Fabio Lanzoni every time I think of this dude.
Yup, that's my ErlkingNow her dad tells her that because the Erlking is present in Avalon, it is a huge security problem for her considering even the Queens of Fairy fear him. Yet, what does Dana do? She sneaks out to go to a birthday party!
Now I know everyone has different priorities, those of which may differ greatly from mine. Different strokes for different folks. A birthday party is worth risking your life?!
Once again, "just accept it." YE BE WARNED: HERE THERE BE SERIOUS SPOILERSSo when Ethan is taken by the Erlking and Dana bargains her virginity for his release, I was blown. Please don't tell me this is going to a a series revolving around sex.
So Dana agrees and just promises herself she will never do it. So let me guess, the next books plot : To do it or not to do it, that is the question. Wait, wait, wait.
Let's back up for a minute and pause. Why did she even agree to that? I thought she didn't even like Ethan?
"Just accept it" This deal went from bad to worse, bc of course the Fey have the wonderful gift of lying by omission. I guess Dana didn't think it necessary to find out all the terms of the deal before she agreed. "just accept it" At this point, it's getting harder and harder to "just accept it."By the end of the book Dana finds herself between a rock and a hard place.
She has decided she does like Ethan after all and does what him as her boyfriend. However, since Ethan is such a playboy, Dana wonders how she could ever keep him, knowing she can not have sex with him, unless she gives herself to the Erlking first. And of course giving the Erlking what he wants endangers the entire world, Fey and mortals.
So yup, you guessed it, the fate of the world resides on the chastity of a teenage girl. That is a pretty big pill to swallow. Fear not young padawans!
I did somehow find something I liked about the book. Jenna Black does write entertaining, witty dialog. I'll give her that.
It was pretty funny at times. But all in all, if I had to describe Shadowspell in a few sentences I would say: it's like a train wreck I can't turn my head away from. Oh no, Thomas!
It's not the prettiest thing to watch, but I can't help but to keep looking because I wanna know what happens next. With that said, I will probably read the next book in the series. I know, I know.
It makes no sense.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
