You could go on google and look up some information.
My friend did this and I just upfront stopped. But you have to let this him/her know that you'll be there.

Writing them a note, email, instant message. I mean other than that your only best bet is to actually talk to them about it up front. But I mean, I'm gonna warn you..this person may not stop with just one conversation. But worth a try..
good luck

Start talking about something they like. And then slowly start asking them about it and then tell them that they could bleed severly and die if they hit a main blood vesal. I soo totaly know what can happen. I was soo close to dieing once from cutting WAY too deep. Hope I helped much.

tell them that if they cut themselves they can die. just by making one mistake like accidently hitting a vein.

Just tell them and get them hepl fast don't worry about every thing eles

if your worried about the person you shouldnt worry if they get mad at you because your trying to help them or tell an adult

Well send them a email but you need to tell them right away because that can serious. if they are cutting sideways across the wrist they really arent hurting themselves... its a cry for attention and if its cutting down then its a cry for help

Well Look for scares on ankels,wrists, any where that can be covered up by sleeves or pant legs. And if you see one ask how it happened casually n if they panic or seem like theyre lieing about it then they probably have something theyre hiding. Get them help its a serious thing.

You can't without a confrontation. Unless you e-mal it, then you don't have to do it in person, but things like that are generally better done in person.
Good luck with it.

write a letter...works everytime lol!! or maybe sign them up for sum class or sumthing then write it in the letter that they should go idk i dont have friends that cut themselves...
]
Well, if this person is a close friend, try to tell someone like a Counselor or teacher or even your parents

umm. you kindda have to confront them to be able to tell them, hon. But i think you mean without a fight.. just be calm about it. if they try to bite your head off, then leave it alone for a few days. this will give them time to brew. they'll think "Wow, someone cares about me.. maybe I should stop.." and then the next time you go to talk about it with them, they'll be more open to what you have to say. hope i helped. ~*stefanie

i guarentee that the person who is cutting already KNOWS that what they are going is wrong. but the pain they go through is so bad that they just dont care. in school we learned that if you have a friend who is cutting, tell the guidance counseler and it will be annonymous, and they will lead them into some profession help. you're basically on the right track by saying "without a confrontation" because the last thing they want to hear is their peer telling them its dangerous to cut.

you should just go up to her and tell her what she is doing could kill her. my friend almost killed herself one time but me and my other friends told her that she would never know what good things could happen in her life. so tell your friend something like that. but if it keeps up you have 2 tell some1. i hope i helped.

send them a note saying you are their secret admiriar but you will only go out with this person if they stop cutting them selves
]
just ask them about it....say u saw it and u were concerned....and that it can kill them

write a note & put it in their locker... or some other place that u are sure they will look... or write them an email... or talk to them on aim...

Tell them that what they are doing is very dangerous.

i am not sure a letter would be the best choice. Seeing as I used to cut (and sometimes still do) i wouldn't want I letter handed to me with a bunch of numbers. Why not just talk to her, confrontation is probably the best choice, and usually i person who cuts themself knows how dangerous it is but they dont' care..
well good luck

tell them how much you love them, and that you hate seeing them in pain and hurting themselves. Tell them that you will do anything it takes to make them better (but you have to stick to that. you can't just make that an empty promise) and that you will get them help. Make it clear that they're not just hurting themselves, but they're hurting everyone they love.

Just a little add on to the first reply. Writting a letter is a good idea. In it make sure to leave them some phone numbers where they can get anonymous help. Eg. (310) 855-3401 this is a teen help hotline. Its free, and its for people 12 to 20. There are many such services, just search the web. Of course, if its a really serious matter theres always 1-800-SUICIDE/ 1-800-784-2433 (its also toll free).
Another thing you may consider is to contact this persons parents (all depending upon his/her age and family relationship).
