xOCarrie answered Wednesday July 14 2004, 2:24 am: talk to your friend again, make her promise on your friendship that she`ll stop and if she really cares about you she`ll stop. Aslo threaten to tell someone. but first talk and time. good luck
MarissaD90 answered Wednesday July 14 2004, 1:32 am: Hey,
Well people who cut themself do it for a reason. Shes probly doing get because she fells sorry for herself and thats the only way she can get over it, or hase a lot on her plate and that is something she can control. Talk to her.If she doesnt do anything about it you should. Tell someone and get her help!!! Have you seen 7th heaven? Well they take the girl who cuts her self to a doctor. This is big and she is scared. [ MarissaD90's advice column | Ask MarissaD90 A Question ]

blondiebabii answered Tuesday July 13 2004, 10:46 pm: I've been in tha SAME situation!!! Except I was tha cutter...she probably just SAYS she does it fer tha heck of it when really deep down inside she is miserable..cutters cut themselves fer a reason!! it in their head..trust me i noe..i have gotten help but i use to cut n for a long time tha only person who new was my bff..i did EVEYTHING i could so she wouldnt tell...when in tha end my mom found out bc she found sum notes between me n my bff bout it...but u defenitly need to talk to her bout it..tell her u are always there ot talk..bc that helps..n Maybe u should tell. I know i didnt want my bff to tell but thats bc i was scared of what would happen..U should think bout telling though! Cutting is really serious n someday she could/might hit a vain n she could die...so u prolly should say something to SOMEONE her mom,dad, or maybe one of ur parents n see what they think! Hope i helped some!! Good luck fer you n your friend!!!
Much Love! [ blondiebabii's advice column | Ask blondiebabii A Question ]

hay i live in a place where all of the people do that kind of stuff. i think that if it's really getting to you that much, you should tell someone. they need serious help, like a counselor. your friend might get angry with you, but she'll thank you in the end :o) [ brokenx3loser's advice column | Ask brokenx3loser A Question ]
BleedingHeart answered Tuesday July 13 2004, 10:42 pm: Most people cut when they are stressed out or have alot of pain in their lives.They cut to have the physical pain block the emotional pain.You should tell your friends mom quick before she does something worse then what she is doing now.

Abby_x0x0 answered Tuesday July 13 2004, 10:42 pm: I have a friend exactly like that! Maybe your friend does it for attention, or maybe she is missing something, and cutting makes her feel as if it is there, same thing with attention! Cutting is a very serious thing, and its very hard to stop by yourself, I would tell a school counselor..but thats probably hard now because its summer (lol) I'd let her parents know, or if you feel uncomfortable telling them, go ahead and yell yours, and maybe they can get ehr some help, or tell your friends parents. Don't be scared of your friend being mad for telling anyone or anything, in the end she should be happy, for helping her!!
MissJ1414 answered Tuesday July 13 2004, 10:40 pm: Well alot of ppl do it because they're really stressed and then it feels so good that it becomes addictive. She might be more strested out now than lately. Maybe your should tell her mom. Or get her to talk to her or a counsler or something. [ MissJ1414's advice column | Ask MissJ1414 A Question ]
