well you cant help her if she doesnt know that you know. So end that whole theory. Plus, give her tips on how you stop. By the way i commend you for stopping its a terrible habit. Tell her you can totally relate and she can get through this.. you just have to help her. Give her a journal as a little gift and tell her she has to get all her feelings down in words, not in blood and cuts.

Well maybe you could just say that you noticed them on her or something and thought that you would bring them up to talk about it and get it out there so you could help her or something. Or maybe you could talk about when you usded to do it and what helped you to stop, not being to pushy about it, just like casually talking about it. And eventually if she doesnt talk to you about it and you dont want to talk to her about it by your self, maybe you should tell her parents or get her some other kind of help so it doesnt get out of hand and something terrible doesnt happen. i hope i helped. and if you ever need anything im here. lemme kno how things work out, im really interested n helping n anyway. Good luck with everything

If she's not going to tell you, you should just walk up to her and say, "I heard you're cutting. Is this true?". If it is, give her attention. Convince her to tell her parents, she needs help if she's cutting. You will be helping her, and if she doesn't want to tell her parents, then you should. I know it may seem like you are letting her down or something, but it isn't. I know what a big problem cutting can be. Good Luck and tell me what happens!

Just be like "You're one of my best friends, you're always there for me and I just want you to know I'm always going to be here for you too and if you EVER need anything or you ever need to talk about ANYTHING! you know you can come to me...right?" Just say something like that, giving her the hint that she can come to you. And since you have experienced the whole cutting thing, then you know how to help her with that situation. I hope this helps and good luck hun. If you need anything, just post a message in my inbox!

hey i dunno how u can ask her about it.. i had a friend who cut too. and when my best friend told me i was scared. bc that could turn into suicide. so i just went to her and told her what i knew and that she needed help. she saw i was really scared and concerned.. but u have to do something b4 it gets too bad.

the_haha_boat answered Wednesday August 18 2004, 4:39 pm:
Make it obvious how much you appreciate her. Say " i dont know what i'd do without you " a lot. Maybe you could even say "____ people are saying that your a cutter and i cant hardly believe that, but if you need someone to talk to about it, im here" and hopefully sometime she'll be cool talking with you.
