i need to help my friend
Well!My friend a while ago started cutting herself, but then she stopped. Today I hit her arm and she said ouch. I knew right away what she did because she gave me this look. Then she laughed about it. I honestly don’t think that it is funny. She is one of my best friends and I don’t need her going off and hurting herself. When she laughs about it, it makes me feel like she doesn’t want me to care or anything. She showed me her arm and it looks pretty bad and shes like ooo its not that bad. I don’t want to tell an adult but she has been pretty depressed latly and I don’t kno anymore if I should continue helping her about it or just give her her own space.

Your friend really needs to stop cutting herself. It's not right to do that to yourself. You r right and it's not a funny situation. You need to keep on helping her and maybe mention to her seeing a counselor or somebody else that she can talk to.. That might help. If not, you go to one and get advice for her and then do it that way. It might work! good luck

I do it.. or did it to. I still do. But it helps now that my friends have told an adult. IT`s best in the long run. Your friend may be mad now, but in the long run she will thank you!*
Rate me?
Buh Bye

You need to tell an adult. If you leave her alone, then she'll just end up hurting herself more and who knows she could hurt herself to the point of no return. Obviously, if she hasn't stopped cutting herself, then this job is too much for you. You can only do so much to help your friend.

what you should do is u should tell her to get some help. And if you are her best friend then you should tell a parent because she shouldn't cut herself. Ive lost a friend because of that. Also tell her that w/e she is going thru can't be so bad that she wants to die.Tell her that god never promised to make things easy but he did promise that he will never give u something so big that u cannont handle. To make her stop from hurting herself and others you should get her a punching bag or something to ease her anger.
Hope this helps

I think you should sit her down and talk to her about it. Its not a good thing that she does it. not to share personel problems or anything but i did it and its not worth it. one of my friends did it and it let to danger. She had to go to the hospitol and she got a disease, it was bad.I cried forever.but u shouldn't tell an adult,or i wouldnt, because it could ruin yalls friendship.So jus talk to her and if it continues then go to anadult u can trust.i really hoped i helped you.

Ok.. I kinda know what your friend is going through! ITS AN EMOTIONAL CRISIS!! You see, cutting her wrists is just her way of dealing with her pain. Talk to her about it and tell her that you are really worried about her and you dont want her to cut herself. Ask her about her problems and help her deal with them if you can. Don't be like.. "Hey (name). We really have to talk. Is there something thats bothering you?" She responds, "No, why?" You say, "BECAUSE YOU ARE AN IDIOT AND YOU'RE CUTTING YOUR WRISTS!!!" Ok.. you see what I mean? You cant like freak out. You have to keep it calm. Like for instance, "Hey (name). Ok, I know that you have a problem and something is bothering you. Listen, if you'd rather not tell me, it's ok. I understand. But if you keep this up I'm going to have to tell someone." Just play it cool & hopefully she'll spill!! Best wishes to you & your friend!! ~Steph~

You need to tell an adult. Or someone older that can help like a brother or sister. She needs to go to thearpy. Don't let her ruim her life. Tell her that it can kill her and there are better ways of getting out anger. I hope I helped!

Try to help her, but not too much. Give her space if she needs it but don't let her keep cutting herself. Tell her parents if it gets really serious. But whatever you do, DON'T drag more people into this. Don't tell someone like your friend or teacher unless it's necessary.

She doesn't want you to care - because if someone cares, she'll feel guilty. You need to tell someone - for her sake. She'll hate you for a while, but in the long run, she'll thank you. I hope this helps, and I hope your friend gets better!

You really should tell an adult.. if she stopped and started up again chances are it will be even harder for her to stop cutting herself this time tell an adult now! if she gets mad at you give her some time to cool off and jus send her an email or pass her a note saying, i only told because i care about you... if i didnt i wouldnt have said anything. things will turn out much better for you her and your friendships if you tell an adult that can help her... and you dont have to try and hide her prob from her family tell them first, then let them take it from there! XOXO hope i helped

If you care about your friend and you want to help her you WILL tell an adult. She is hurting herself very badly and she needs to seek medical help. I was a cutter for a year and a half on top of the fact that I had depression. Her showing you her arm and then laughing about it is basically a secret sign for help. She wants help. You're willing to give her the help so why are you just doing nothing about it? Help her out tell her that what she is doing is not good for her. Tell an adult. She NEEDS help. For the love of God. HELP. HER.

I think you should help her and tell an adult. to her it might seem as though it isnt a big thing but it really is. Expecaly when she goes around and laughing about it. she is really hurting herself, and it seems like she is hurting you to. Also if she is depressed you need to just sit down and talk with her that you and her are ganna talk about everything that is going on between both of you, and how you feel about everything! If you really care about your best friend, tell her to just stop and talk w/ her! hope I helped! Love xoxo-♥Andie

it's not bad that your concerned. you need to talk to her about it though. your right when you say it's not funny, because it's not. if it continues to get worse, i'd tell a counselor or something. she really needs help if it looks that bad. my old best friend cut all over her body, and she got counseling help, and shes doing so much better. i hope i helped, and good luck :o)
