people cut becuz of stress and they dont have any other way to handle it... give her a rubberband to put around her wrist... both if you have to. well tell her everytime she thinks of cutting to pull on it and let go... instead of cutting. x3 xogiggles37xo.

My sdvice is to tell someone. A school counselor, a teacher, somone's parents, just anyone. You can't help her in any way. trust me I've been through it before. you need to tell and adult who can get her help fast.

You must already be a good friend to have written in here to try and help her. Keep being the best friend you can be, make sure she knows that you love her and will do anything to help her. *Have her wear a rubber band around her wrist...when she feels like cutting, have her snap against her wrist instead.

well.......u didnt really give much details... if she cries when she cuts that means she has mostly family issues and if she doesnt..she just does it to make everyone feel bad for her... u know get all the attention and this isnt true for everyone!! but for most ppl...u can talk to me more on my AIM:hyperaimee92 i hope i helped!!

ok i have a completely different opinion then all the rest of these people. i think u should talk 2 her about it but if i were u i wouldnt tell her parents right away becuz especially if u havent known her 4 a long time cuz she will fell like u have betrayed her somehow and might not wanna be ur friend n e more. maybe u could tlk 2 a counseler but DONT mention n e names or say like "this kid i kno cuts themselves". if u have n e siblings maybe u could also ask them wat they think about it.
hope i helped!!!

if she dosent cut rly deep then you rly shouldnt worry b.cz she wont die from just cutting a lil' bit of skin but if she goes rly deep then talk to her about it see why shes doin it and if you can help in any way!

OMG, I so know how you feel. My best friend in 8th grade would cut herself all the time. In your friends case, she probably does it because its the only thing she feels she has control over. Its usually caused by stress. Help her out by talking to her about her life(whats causing the stress or whatever). O, and talk to her mom, maybe her mom can help her at home. Hope that helps.

Tell her parents!!!! They can get her a counselor or something. Don't try anything on your own, you may make it worse.
*anyone that reads this should know that cutting yourself will not solve any of your problems! if you know someone who cuts themselves tell their parents or someone who can get help for them!*

You have to tell somebody. I cut, and I can't stop. It's gotten to the point where I'm bringing unsteralized needles to class, and drawing on my skin. Today I made a K on my arm (my name is kate) Two of my teachers found out, one took me out of class and started talking to me. I started cutting just small little things on my wrist, then today it was like wow! I mean I made really really long cuts, and they were bleading pretty bad. Cutting is a HARD HARD thing to stop. Tell a teacher or anybody. It needs to stop. I've tried to stop on my own, but it's too hard. And right now I'm getting help. Just tell somebody, and adult you can tell, tell.

Alright if the girl does the cutting to a point where shes trying to kill herself... then theres some serious issues there. But i know several people that have anger problems and have no other way to take them out besides releasing all their anger on themselves. Try talking to her. tell her you're worried... but if she snaps... its her job to get the help and you need to step back and let her live her life, i know cutting gets very addicting but thats just how some people deal with their stress. If its to the point of her trying to commite suicide... then i'd say talk to a school consular. best wishes

Try to talk to your friend about how you have noticed that she mutilates herself and how you don't like it..and try to talk to her about things that are bothering her..if you can help her with her problems she tells you great and if not then talk to her parents or guardians about it, that is if she doesnt listen to you and doesnt stop cutting herself..her guardians will handle it from there by signing her up for counciling with doctors and people to help her with her problem..hope she'll be ok..
