cutting


Question Posted Thursday April 28 2005, 4:49 pm

Oh so my friend cuts..but she hasnt in like 2 weeks. i knew about it since she started (shes been doing it for like 1 and a half months). so today this morning she told our other 2 friends, she didnt tell them before cuz she didnt want them to get mad. my friend (the cutter)told my other 2 friends NOT to tell anyone like a teacher or any body. but 1 did it anyway. and now my friend (the cutter) is all mad at the 1 girl who told. i dont know what to do. so what should i do. ive been supporting my friend (the cutter one) through all this. but what else should or can i do?

Tell her that she shouldnt cut to get her feelings out. Instead when she has the urge to cut to call you instead. Whatever you do support her.

You really need to tell her not to cut herself. You'll be a good friend but you'll actually be helping her instead of supporting her hurting herself. If i was in your shoes tis is what i'd do: You need to explain to her that you don't want her to cut because it could hurt her really bad and you don't your friend hurting. Cutters die from cutting in the wrong place everyday you cannot support this anymore she'll understand if you explain you dont want to see her this way and she'll probably stop and will still be your friend if not better friends becasue you helped her.

Well keep on supporting her and tell her that the only reason why they told on her is because they really really care for her and they really dont want her to get hurt! But tell her that your always there for her always no matter what you know just comfort her

Hi,

I was kinda in the same position as your friend- I had a friend who told a teacher. I felt hurt and betrayed, which you would.

It's good that you are a good friend to this girl and she can talk and trust you.

Can you speak to the other girl, who told, and ask her to explain herself to your friend- either through a note or face to face? Does she understand about cutting? What type of person is this girl because your friend may need to hear that she did it because she was worried and wanted to get your friend help? Is that why?

There is the fact that since a teacher knows the teacher is legally bound to tell her parents- has this happened? You need to gently prepare your friend for this if it hasn't, although I should think the teacher would tell her beforehand or at least someone at the school would make her aware.

Speak to the teacher if it helps or encourage your friend to- go with her if she wants to or you think it could help.

The next thing is the reasons WHY she cuts- does she see a counseller as it can help to air her feelings. Her parents will be told- if they haven't already- that she cuts if she seeks a counseller at school, but this could be a good thing as they can be supportive, although admittedly shocked at first.

You just really need to keep doing what you are- being there for her and supporting her. Take care xxxxxx

your firend only told because she doesnt want to see anything happen to your other friend. trust me, its better she gets help now before it gets worse. cutting is addicting and you need help in order to stop. plus, every cutter does it for attention. i refused to admit it until a little while ago and i have done it in ages. if she didnt want anyone to know then she wouldnt have told someone. trust me, its better that your friend told. hope i helped.

You have to tell your friend that as much as she might not like it, that you agree with the friend that told on her. she needs help and you didn't think she was gonna stop so she needed to BE stopped.
Just try to explain it to her. she might not appreciate it right away but it'll be fine after some time passes. Hope i helped!

to be honest you should have told a while ago. but you may not have known what could have happened. when someone cuts it becomes addicting and everytime they do it they loose more and more blood. i know somone who had a friend that cut, and the one i know was the only one who knew. she didnt tell anyone about it, the girl who cutt ended up dieing, and she felt like it was all her fault. all because she didnt want to loose her friendship with this girl. yea, well i think shes lost it now. your friend needs to stop cutting herself. she could end up dead, but she needs friends to help her. you can be one of those friends.

Well the question is do u like to see your friend cutting herself? If you do i guess you don't want to do anyhting about it. But if you don't liike your friend doing this then don't get mad at the other friend who told the teacher because your (cutter) friend needs help so she doesn't cheat death anymore! Hope i helped and keep ur friend safe!
