Either help her to stop yourself or tell an adult. I know this sounds like something some teacher would say but with how many kids are dying these days, protect her.

Rei answered Wednesday September 1 2004, 10:09 am: usually cutters dun like it when people like us tell her to stop, chances are she wouldnt listen to ya. as her bf, u should stand by her. make sure to keep all sharp objects aways from her. she could be going through a tough time, thats why as her bf u should find out whats the problem and help her through this period in her life. make her feel loved and appreciated. -Rei [ Rei's advice column | Ask Rei A Question ]
alisonmarie answered Wednesday September 1 2004, 8:49 am: If someone is cutting, that usually is a sign that they cannot handle their emotions anymore. They need outside help - and not neccesarily from a boyfriend.
I think the first step would be to share your concern; let your girlfriend know that if she's having a bad moment, she can pick up the phone and call you - but only if you are willing to take that responsibility.
I think the safest step is to talk to your parents about what to do - her parents will probably need to be involved. If you don't want to talk to your parents, try getting a school guidance counselor involved.
She'll be embarassed and possibly angry, but you are standing up for her - you are helping her get the emotional support she needs to be able to deal with life.
Ask_Anything answered Wednesday September 1 2004, 5:23 am: you can talk to your gf and ask her why she cuts herself, be there for her and try to comfort her in any way possible. if her cutting is really dangerous, you might want to find help for her... depends how far into the problem you want to go i guess. good luck, you sound like a really caring person =] -ask_anything [ Ask_Anything's advice column | Ask Ask_Anything A Question ]
