Unfortunately you need to sent a hard boundary with this friend about her behavior, or at least a very serious conversation. It is very normal to start harboring resentment about this friend because of their behavior but this can be very damaging if you continue to warrant this behavior not blaming you because they are treating you like a therapist when they shouldn't. They will slowly push and push to see how much they can depend on you emotionally until their mental health hinges on your reaction and how you will try to sympathize with them. 

I had a friend like this and if they don't snap out of it or ghost you because 'you won't act how they want you to' or worst case scenario they will snap on you and your boundaries and threaten do very unhealthy things because you are trying to create a healthy distance. You will have to cut contact.

This is not normal between friends especially because of your age showing fresh sh to anyone is not normal, this is sadly common in online circles. However this is not healthy it is harmful. 

This may seem to serious and ridiculous as a response but you need to take these signs as the biggest red flags you've ever seen. There is a very small chance i am wrong and they just need to talk to a adult and i really really hope that's what they need.



true. I know I should've done something about it a long time ago and that I should talk to them about it, but its just hard too knowing I might look like a bad person in their pov. or make me feel guilty, idk.

 Again this is not your fault, you should not take blame for their mental health. If they make you feel like you are a bad person/friend then they are not being a good friend to you, a good friend would want the both of you to have a healthy friendship and mental space.

 I would recommend you speak to an adult about your concerns but i know this is not always a option. Or tell her to speak to an adult or a counselor, because in all honesty these are not your issues to deal with. If they treat you like a bad person afterwards, its because you are putting your health over theirs when her health is not your responsibility.
