TELL SOMEONE. N0W. A school counselor, her parents, just any adult that you trust to do something to help out. She needs help, and she needs it soon.
]
Go tell a school administrator or guidance counselor IMMEDIATELY. I repeat, IMMEDIATELY. Stop reading this and go tell someone about this. She needs to get help, and SOON. There are psychologists and doctors that can help make her feel better so that she doesn't feel like she has to cut herself. In the meantime, just hang by her, and try and be comforting and friendly.
]
you need to tell her how much you and others care and kindly ask her to stop!! if she continues...you should tell an adult that you trust!
]
Tell her parents or another trusted adult immediately. Even if she is looking for attention all suicide threats need to be taken seriously.

Ok...well first off...its hard to stop! I should no! But its very possible she needs lots of support. First sit her down and talk about it with her. Start the convo off with something regular then bring it up. tell her that she needs help and that its very dangerous. Tell her she needs counciling and that she needs to get it fast. If she doesn't cooperate the only thing left to do is to tell your councilor at school. Im telling you that she might hate you for a while but she needs help! Its either her mad at you or her dead! Trust me...its good to have a freind supporting someone through counciling and such! If you do report her...when you go to the councilor you need to be like well i heard about cutting...and i heard cutters wont stop...why...and how can i help them stop! Then you could bring it up later if what the councilor suggested doesnt work. Most people that cut come from broken homes, violent homes, or they are very depressed! It helps to have a caring friend thats willing to tell just to help them.....trust me

I encourage you to go to a counseler asap, I once cut and believe me, they need help. They may not realize how dangerous what they are doing really is. So don't even tell her about it and go visit your school counseler and tell the counseler that he/she needs to talk to your friend. Hope everything works out xoxo~ak

You may want to call them by yourselves, you may want to see if you can get her to call some.
If she says she'll call some, and you're not sure if you can trust her to do so, call some by yourself.
Tell an adult you trust, a doctor, a school counselor -- someone.
And you have to stick near her and support her the entire time. No matter how many people she talks to and calls up, you being there to help her is a necessity, she can't do it without you.

You have to tell your school's conselor or a responsible adult about this and they can handle it. Also, you shouldn't put people's names and any other information about them on the internet because it can lead to many problems. It isn't safe. Just letting you know hun. Hope I helped and good luck with everything :)

go tell a counselor and let her/him handle it..tell her parents, just tell a responsible adult.

First of all, sweety, don't put peoples' names on the internet. It is a VERY unsafe practice. Don't share ANY information that can help someone find you or a friend. I can't believe parents let their kids use the computer without beating this idea into their head first. BE SAFE.
Now, about your friend. You need to tell your parents. They will contact the proper people, I hope, to get her some help. If they do not, or you know they are unlikely to, you need to go see a teacher, school counselor, pricipal, nurse, WHOEVER you feel comfortable with and tell them immediately. Ask them to let you remain anonymous if you want, but a friend that's mad at you for telling on her is far better than a friend who's dead or hurt. Tell someone NOW!

ok listen... i used to be the same as Amanda. I wanted to killmyself to. Find out whats wrong with her. If her mom knows.. have her take Amanda to a Phys. Doctor. she needs helpquick. What i did to stop myself, was to think everything through and tell other my problems and y i wanted to kill my self. I didnt cut but i tryed hanging myself. Just help her the best you can and get others to help her too.
BE CAREFUL

I would tell the consler! Or maybe go tell her mom! Talking to her might help a little too..if shes haveing problems tell her she needs to get help..and try to force her to!i hope everything works out! and hope i helped! rate me =)

Get her talking to you.<p>
Ask her if she feels listened to, on a scale of 0-10. Find out why she gives the response she gives. Ask her when she feels listened to.
<p>
Once you've got that down, you'll know how to approach her to find out what she really needs.

Talk to an adult that you trust... This isn't something you can help her with on your own...
