How to address something...

Good morning or evening or day or night or afternoon ladies and gentlemen and whassup. My name is Hamed Khatiz and I am a sixteen year old student, wirter, drummer, adviser and many more from Sydey. Lately I have noticed something.

I love my friend Xavian, I really do care about her and we are really close friends but here's the thing. I have a friend on Facebook too and she sometimes posts these mildly suicidal statuses which to someone who is uneducated could set off a couple of warning signals. So for example this morning:

"Dear God, please slit my wrists now. Thanks."

When I hear stuff like that, I know her and her style and thus I know deep down she doesn't mean it, it's probably just an exaggeration, but I'm just worried that if someone else sees it, they may interpret it differently. I don't wanna do it now, but if I see it again, I will probably just say she needs to be a bit careful with some of the stuff she says on Facebook because it might get hard to distinguish with whether she really could mean it or not.

It's not real (I ******* well hope so anyway), it's just like when someone is under stress and they say "Just kill me now" kind of thing.

But how do you address this 'cause I don't really have much of a justification for addressing it?

It's wierd just talking about it with you guys.

She's your friend so have a talk to her and ask her how things are going and there is no harm in showing her you care and have a genuine concern.I would get right to the point and ask her if these expressions of hers are real.All the best.
