I'm a band geek in my senior year of high school and I'm not telling where I live. I go by Lyss online, if you want to know, and I have all sorts of interests, including: band, music, reading, writing, a bit of art, Irish dance, and just too many to name in a single profile. I love to give advice, because it makes me feel good knowing that I can help someone and share my knowledge. I'm very straight-forward and honest, if at times long-winded, but you can count on the advice that I give to be from personal experience or the experience of a close friend.

There is this guy I really like. Today I found out that he cuts himself. The only thing is, he doesn't know that I know. How can I bring it up and tell him to stop without sounding all maternal? (link)

Okay, first of all, don't go telling everyone that he cuts. Seriously, I know what it's like when someone finds out that you'r depressed and tells ANYONE. It's not fun at all. Don't just go up and talk to him about it either, because that would have set me off when I was someone cutting. The best thing you can do is be his friend, and wait for him to come to you. I know that he probably won't commit suicide, and he's also not looking for attention. Very few people who cut are, I've done enough of my own research to know. Let yourself be his shoulder to cry on, though, if he has no one else to turn to. I know it's scary that he cuts, I used to myself. You just have to be patient. He's probably under a lot of pressure right now to be something that he's not. Support him. That's the only way to get through to him. I'm not saying support his cutting, because it can be dangerous. I'm saying support any hopes, dreams, and desires he has that are not dangerous to his life.
I hope this helps, I know what it's like to be on his end, so if you want to know more about what would be his side, ask me. I know.

That was probably the best advice I got from this question, thanks.
