okay heres the story. my best friend cut really bad at the end of 7th grade(were in 8th now) and over that summer. the school, both friends and the administration, was aware but she never really got any kind of help. seh always carved peoples names who had hurt her or someone who was really important to her. okay this has to coem out to. shes bi so these people are girls. one was a best friend who stopped being friends with her another was a girlfriend and one is an x girlfriend. okay sorry that was kind of irrelevent. but anyway she got a lot better after this girl broke her heart. (i know you would think she would get worse) anyway she only cut maybe three times the whole school year. i stopped really worrying about it. but then in the past week she did it really bad. only me and this other girl who cuts too knows about it. before i always could see how unhappy my best friend was but this time i couldnt really understand. nothing really drastic happened and she seemed to be doing a lot better in recent months. okay heres my dilema. she siad not to tell anyone and if i did she would know it was me and not talk to me again or at least be extremely pissed. and i know shes not lying no matter how much i mean to her. now i want to get her help but i dont know how. i dont know if she can be helped with the additude she has now.
so: do i speak up and if so who should i tell?
what would be the best help to get her?
please give me any ideas. im open to anything. and dont waste youre time if youre going to be an ignorant a** like some people on this thing.

I think the first you should do is talk to her. I used to cut and can get addicting even if nothing's wrong she might cut just because it gives her a rush. She needs to get proffesional help she could really hurt herself if she cuts herself deep enough. She will probably say that she knows what she's doing and that she wouldn't make that mistake but it happens all the time. She could end up in the hospital and get very sick if she cuts herself too deep or isn't careful about what she cuts herself with. YOu need to tell someone. She may not talk to you but you need to get her some help. You have to ask yourself what's more important your friends health and possibly life or your friendship. I know that you care about your friend and you want to do what's best for her and getting her help is the best thing for her. You need to talk to your parents or a school counselor tell her that you are really worried about her and you want to get her some proffesional help. When I was cutting it got really bad my friends got me some help and at first I wanted nothing to do with it finally they sent me to a shrink who really helped me. At first I was pissed at my friend for telling someone but once I got some help and I straightened things out I realized that she did the right thing and I'm so glad that she did get me help. YOu need to do this for your friend. If it is really a problem for her then she needs help. Cutting is not helping and can be extremely dangerous. Talk to your parents, or the school and get your friend some proffesional help before she really hurts herself.
Good luck and I hope things work out
