Hmm...thank you. That is exactly the kind of feedback I needed! That is my main worry: that the role I'm filling is the appropriate one. Talking to her mom is a good idea--since she talked to me, perhaps I can be open with her. However, I'm afraid that sharing some of that stuff with her mom will make her doubt my abilities as a mentor. I don't know. Maybe I just shouldn't say anything, except "if you need to talk to someone, I'm here for you" or something along those lines. I don't know what it's like to be 12 and suicidal. All I remember about being 12 was feeling alone.
Oh well. Thanks for your help. :)
