Cutting?
My friend and I were talking tonight. We started talking about slitting your wrists, and I asked her if she'd ever done it. She was really weary and said "maybe..." and then I said "Have you?" and she's like "I tried it. It hurt." and I'm like "How old were you?" and she said "13...or 14." (She's 15) and then we talked, and she's like "I DON'T WANNA TALK ABOUT IT ANYMORE!" but then she's like "I'm just kidding, I don't.". She's a strong Christian and she's only 15. She wears TONS of bracelts all up her arms. Do you think she was really joking, or just insecure and really does it? I don't want to talk to her about it, incase she gets madder...

that sounds like a pretty clear cry for help to me. keep talking to her about it more and more and make sure that before you go outside for extra help you know if she's joking or if she really is cutting. if she really does have a problem with it, don't be afraid to bring it up. it might irratate her a little, but she needs help. good luck

You need to talk to her again. Even if she does get mad. Personally i think she was just insecure, but I don't know her and I don't want to judge. You sound like a good friend who really cares about her friends. Just when you talk to her make sure she knows that you care, and that you'll still like her even if she did do it. Good luck and I hope it all works out.

I think that maybe you can talk to her again without her getting mad. But if you think shes still doing it then you need to talk with her but if not then i think ya need to leave it be. Sometimes people just like bracelets...but if you ever get the chance look at her arms for scars.

I think that if it's something that happened in the past, and you don't think she's still doing it, you don't have much reason to worry. If you think she's still doing this, then you should talk to someone. A school counselor, a parent, or your pastor at church. Cutting a serious problem, and if you think your friend is hurting herself, something needs to be done.

It sounds like she really does it. I think she wanted to let you know but mite have gotten scared wen u asked her questions and stuff. U didnt do anything wrong.. i definetly would have done the same thing u did. But i think she just wanted to talk and not have like a million questions to answer. I'd just ask her why she does it and if there was anything AT ALL you could do to help her to stop (not GET her to stop because she wont be able to quit doing it if she doesnt want to.. she mite stop for a little bit but if she doesnt want to quit then she wont). Good luck i hope everything turns out okay.
