Let the counselor know immediately! This could just be a small dent in much bigger issues that teachers don’t have qualifications to handle.
You don't need to be a therapist to make someone feel better. Just give the student a hug if they allow you to and make them feel that there are people around them that they can talk to. We may not be able to suggest a solution to their problem but we can help them ease the feeling. I've seen cases like this and mostly it fall into depression.

This is so heartbreaking. Definitely reach out to the counselor. There may be a bigger issue going on, and as teachers, it is best to share with an admin or counselor for the benefit of the student.
Tell the counselors. You can absolutely be there to support, but as teacher you already have too much on your plate to also be the kind of lifeline students sometimes need. Get the student connected to resources so they have options. They’ll feel more empowered and they’ll have a bigger support system. Plus the counselors are often connected to community resources that can help the student outside school hours.
Rising Star
We have a campus counselor. I would refer this student immediately. But the simple thing is just checking in frequently, so they know someone sees them and cares.
You can't solve her problems, but you can connect her with resources that can help. Let her know about your school counselor, social worker, or any outside support groups in the area.
