simpleesweet78 answered Thursday August 12 2004, 5:16 pm: My friend did the same thing. You really can't go anything about it. Just talk to them about what is bother them and tell them to STOP cutting them self!! If that doesn't help then you should talk to there parents so they can get them some help because cutting is very dangerous!!! They just need help .. i hope that helps you with you friend!

xogiggles37xo answered Thursday August 12 2004, 2:49 pm: theres this method ppl use to try and stop. its where they have rubberbands on their rist at all times. when they feel like they need to cut they pull on the rubberbands instead of cutting. make sure even if you dont try and use this method for your friend that somehow you get her some help.

Blank_Trouble answered Thursday August 12 2004, 11:00 am: Confront her, and tell her that if she doesn't get help herself, you'll get help for her. Even if she threatens to stop being friends with you, you should still tell. She could seriously injure herself, and she obviously has some issues she needs to work out.

TucanFullOfHoles answered Wednesday August 11 2004, 10:40 pm: as bad as it sounds, you have to tell her parents. they will know how to help her. If not, get her professional help. i don't know her parents and i don't know her, but maybe if her parents aren't a good choice, go to a trusted adult, like a school conseuler or maybe a teacher both of you like. just get her to stop. don't say stop for me, because that will make her feel more guilty and bad and stuff.

x33_onlly_One answered Wednesday August 11 2004, 10:25 pm: Confront your friend and listen to what she has to say. Let her know that your there for her and there is always help out there. If you are nervous about talking to your friend let a trusted adult know and they will take it from there by getting her counsling of some sort..
i hope it works out.. [ x33_onlly_One's advice column | Ask x33_onlly_One A Question ]
sExYlExIet013 answered Wednesday August 11 2004, 10:22 pm: Obviously your friend has a problem. What you need to do is sit her down and talk to her. If shes willing to listen thats soo awesome! If she doesn't want to then you should definately tell someone..a parent,teacher,older sibling, someone who can help! [ sExYlExIet013's advice column | Ask sExYlExIet013 A Question ]
soljette answered Wednesday August 11 2004, 10:14 pm: well, when i was going through that problem, my friends and people who cared about me told me to stop and that i needed help. but i didnt listen, because i had to realize for myself that what i was doing was wrong. your friend needs to realize on her own that she needs to get help and that by cutting herself doesnt make anything better. well sure, it makes the pain go away.. but in the long run, that shit really fucks you up. BUT, you should let her know that you care about her and that you dont want to see her hurt herself because its hurting you. most likely, shed disregard what you say, but as long as you let her know that you care, thatll stick to her forever.

icey0990 answered Wednesday August 11 2004, 10:11 pm: This will probably be one of the toughest decisions you`ll have to make, but please take my advice and tell someone. Cutting is nothin to play around with..it will only get worse.I know someone who attempted suicide and got help. Your friend needs help, she doesnt see it right now but in the end...she`ll thank you.
tell a parent..tell his/her parent, yours, anything. If you tell your friends parent, his/her mom can pretend to stumble across the cuts, even though you told the parent about your friend. This way you stay anonymous.
Hope everything works out

HollyAnn2282 answered Wednesday August 11 2004, 10:09 pm: Alright, some people cut themselves to let some stress out... and anger and stuff. If it was in the situation if shes just cutting and not trying to commit suicide I'd leave it be, shes just trying to get things out and thats the only way she can do it. If you told I think it'd make things worse... Dont say anything unless shes trying to commit suicide... best of luck.
