don't tell anyone about the problem that would just make manner's worst and start rumors the only person who could help her would be you sit her down and talk tell her what she is doing is wrong and that it is bad and she is only hurting herself not anyone elese just be there and protect her don't tell her parents unless they already know talk to her and tell her to go see the guidence councelor again and maybe he or she can tell her what she is doing is wrong and tell her whatever has happened in her life that was bad to just let it go even if it hurts and let it be because then she would make things worst by stressing over it

If any one could change her it would be you. Dont tell anyone yet even though it would help her in the long run it will make her life more miserable and hard now. you have to talk to her. Tell her life is better and will get better, tell her you will be there and if she loved you she would try her best to stop. Help try to fix her problems be there for her no matter what dont give up, becuase even if you lose a friendship you wont lose a friend, cutting can led to suicide and if your the friend you know you are you wont let that happen. If it gets to out of hand then tell someone but for now rely on yourself.

Thats nice of you to be worried and all but like I don't think there is anything you can say or do to make her stop. She needs to realize herself that she needs to. If you want to help I would suggest just being there for her as a friend and listening to her clearly. Hope this helped!

Talk to her, don't tell anyone else. Cutting is a really serious thing and it's also a very private thing.

dancinqueen08 answered Wednesday December 1 2004, 4:27 pm:
You should talk to her. Make her understand that cutting herself is not the way to fix things. If you remind her of her good qualities, that will also probably make her feel better. Think of other ways she can make herself feel better and offer those suggestions. Also, just listen to her. Be a true friend and that could help a lot.
If worst comes to worse have her get some help. Either from teachers or her parents. Sometimes you can't help her, it could be too big of a job.

talk to her about tell her how you feel about it and let her know that you are willing to listen to anything she wants to say. If she keeps doing it you might want to tell her parents about it so nothing worse happens to her....hope i helped

Well. tell her how much you fell about her and have fun with her like go to the movies or get somthing to eat so she enjoys it so she wont commit it. So make her fell like the most special person in the world.

Ask_Anything answered Wednesday December 1 2004, 3:13 pm:
well first you should obviously tell her how concerned you are about her, and you want to help her fix things. i know it's hard to see a friend you're very close to fall apart = .. i had a friend who needed me, and trust me you want to get things done now before they get even worse. getting her help with her problems will be the best suggestion i can give you - talk to her, have her talk to her parents or your parents talk to her parents .etc. and tell her you'll be there no matter what - as long as try to keep to your promise . hope your friend gets better soon! =] -ask_anything

Talk to her !!!!! definitly tell her how you feel and do it at the right time so its not weird, and so she doesnt feel embarresed or presured. But you said shes the nicest person you've ever met.. so maybe she needs to talk to some1 about it cuz its not normal for her to act like that. good luck

Vanilla13ean420 answered Wednesday December 1 2004, 3:04 pm:
hey, I think you should talk to her, first figure out why she does it and ask her why, if its to relieve herself from other things that are bothering her or is she trying to do something to herself. If she is trying to do something to herself ask why and what in life could be so bad that you would want to do something like that to yourself. Having scars like that isnt pretty, trust me. Its hard watching a friend hurt themself and feeling like your helpless and cant do anything about it. Try talking to her and tell her how you feel and that she is such a great person and that when you see that it makes you feel like crap because somebody so wonderful and awesome like her is doing that. Its hard, but try getting her to talk to you or somebody else!
alrighty, i hope i helped!
peace and love unity

This is hard, and i hope things get better for your friend. talk to her and tell her that she looks nice and stuff. call her and support her. friendship is one of the things that she will really need right now. you might want to take her to an adult that will help her that she and you both know and trust. (maybe even a physchiatrist)

XoCaLLiE answered Wednesday December 1 2004, 2:47 pm:
i'd talk to her about it. tell her that she's scaring you and that your worried about her. if she get's all mad or doesn't listen to you, then i'd deff. tell an adult. she may get mad at you for telling someone, but she needs help, and you should explain to her that you only did it bc you care about her. hOpE i HeLpEd*--C--*

Whatever you do, don't tell anyone without her permission. I cut and my friend told someone, it's horrible. Talk to her, support her and encourage her to get help but do not, i repeat, DO NOT, tell anyone without asking her first.
