Have her put rubberbands on her wrists and everytime she thinks about wanting to cut have her snap the rubberbands this might help but if it doesnt then take her to the counsler at your school.

Hope i helped. keep me updated on how she's doing!! good luck hun!

SweetiePie777 answered Wednesday September 1 2004, 7:29 am: I totally understand what your gf is going through. If she wants help, she should go to a counselor or even tell parents. Good luck! I know it isn't easy to stop, but your girlfriend should think about how many people love her and care about her...It's what helped me at difficult times *WINK WINK*
