Answer by Desiree
They’re an offshoot of Pentecostalism, aren’t they? So that means they have evolved beyond rolling around on the ground whilst making gibberish noises. They have taken this behavior to a new level. They are even crazier than crazy.

Answer by anna unff
I’m not sure about treatment places, but I’m positive there must be some sort of Mental Rehabilitation center near you and her tha can offer self-harm treatment but a big deal of getting over her addiction (which is pretty much what it is) is for her to get to the bottom of why she cuts. Some people think you can get over your mental issues on your own (depending on the degree of the issue) and some i’m not sure if they believe that but I am one of the people who believes our own mind and thoughts are the answers. I’ve pulled through a lot, as well as self-harm which is a work in progress but currently going strong, and honestly the best thing i can think to tell her is to realize why she cuts. Is it a family problem? An ex-boyfriend who hurt her so badly? Childhood bullying? For me it was my bullying and then later on a family problem and then my ex reintroduced me to it. I had to realize that even though it took the pain away, it wasn’t helping with my problems.

See if you have a school consellor for her to talk to if she’s comfortable, that would be a good place to start. They can probably give you more information about where to go from there. They may be able to talk her to her parents if she was comfortable with that, but honestly I can say that going to a school consellor would be a great decision as it was the first step for my recovery. By the way, you’re a great friend just because you didn’t turn your back on her and leave her to deal with this alone, she’s lucky to have you 🙂

Question by ~dreamvette~: Can anyone tell me what a “Reception and Diagnostic Center” does for prisoners?
Please go into details, I need to know.
Thank You so much!!

Best answer:

Answer by KC V
In most states these centers process newly incarcerated inmates for assignment to a permanent population in one of the designated prison systems maintained throughout a state penal system. They can also provide for a community release center treatment program in a less “prison oriented” atmosphere.

Processing in one of these centers includes prison orientation, educational, psychiatric and medical testing, risk assessment, AIDS testing and a drug education program.

Best wishes!
