I think what you said about talking tto people was the right thing to say ..... if she calls you beofre doing it that means she wants someone to help her and make her not do it because she isnt stronge enough to stop it her self. your a good friend....
Bye!

ok.. Never let her be alone when you know that she is depressed or else she might start cutting herself again. And call her whenevr you have some free time. Hope my advice helps.

Get her help, no matter what you don't wanna wait. Even if shes not doing them deep, if she is hurting herself she needs help, so try talkin to her more, then tell a guidance counselor or her parents or a teacher, but get her help. Im me anytime *ITSALLKAITLYN* -KAITLYN

Do nothing. You're already doing the right thing.

okay, you definitely don't wanna expose her, because if people start to tease her, then she may do it more. You did right by letting her know you're there for her. For now, do just that and call her and check up on her and everything.
If it gets worse, then would be the time to call someone else in. Hope i was of any use.

Hey,
You're doing the best thing you possibly can right now, just being there for her!!
You're right that she may get mad if you tell anyone, so don't until you feel like the situation really calls for outside (e.g. counsellor, psychiatrist) help. If it does come to that, tell her she shouldn't worry - these people never tell anyone else what's going on, it's part of their job.
She says that she's scared and believe it or not that's a good thing - accepting that there is a problem is half way to solving it :)
Just tell her that she's doing great and you're always there for her. Your idea of getting her to ring you is really good! Whenever she does that, talk through why she wants to cut with her - 'a problem shared is a problem halved', and all that. It might get that particular problem out of her system and mean she doesn't want to cut over it!
You're such a great friend for sticking by her :)
Good luck to both of you,
Blessed Be,
