I need help.

Dear Kitty,

I have a problem. It concerns one of my friends, we can call her Kelsey. Well Kelsey came out last year as being a lesbian and had a girlfriend for a while and then they broke up. I don't think her parents exactly understand or except the fact that she is gay, I think they are trying to shame her out of it and That isn't how these things should be handled. Well anyway, she cut her hair short and I mean she has always been a tom boy but lately she's just been more tomboyish and i understand that people change. I except that this is who she is even if at first she was a afraid to tell me. Well I don't see her any differently, obviously it took some getting used to because when she came out she did change a bit and it took some getting used to but I liked the old Kelsey and I like the new Kelsey just as well.

So here comes the problem. She doesn't have a great home life now i think and it has driven her into depression, I can't stand to see her like this and I don't know what to do. I've gotten a little more insight now that i follow her tumblr because she does post some things on there about it. I feel like i need to do something because she does talk about killing herself or running away, I don't think she understand how many people actually care though. Even if it's just me though, I wouldn't want her to do that.

As some of you have obviously seen through my diaries, I struggled with some I guess you could call it depression during last year and this summer. I never told anyone but you about it and it mostly fixed itself because I decided that looking at all the bad things is just to hard because it's much more productive to focus on the good.
I wish there was just some sort of way that I could let her know that i care and that I understand what she's going through and that nobody is perfect.

I think she doesn't realize how much I understand because at school I play it up like I'm the quiet girl who like nerdy things and dances, I mean they all see me as the goody two shoes and I might be a good kid but everyone has struggles and inner demons that we have to conquer.
I'm not perfect, I don't always control my emotions and I don't always understand them. But I think I would blame myself if I didn't do anything and she killed herself....because I know what's going on but I don't know what to do.
