deffinatly tell someone. cutting yourself is a serious matter and i know alot of people that have died/ or started getting medical therapy for stuff like that. be sure to remind her to be open with you n that she can tell you anything. i go to a consolor, ive never had thoughts like that before, and ive never cut myself, but she does help and she reminds me not to do things like that. ask if shed ever go to therapy, because i kno it works!! hope i helped :)

how can you even question that
if you see one of your friends hurting herself in that way, knowing full well what could happen, you should of called someone right there on the spot.
just talk to someone. she shouldn't be doing this
hope i helped

I, personally, think you should talk to her about it first. About 3/4 of my "friends" have, or do cut themselves and I've talked to them all about it. If that doesn't work and she's still doing it then I suggest that you tell an adult.

oh my god you should deffinatley talk to her, and first ask her why she does it, and tell her to stop, and tell her that she can die from it, and if she says she's going to stop, just keep on checking up on her and see if she does it again, and if she does, you should deffinatley tell someone!!! hope i helped!

You should tell someone for sure! I know it may be hard to tell on her and she may even be angry with you for a little while, but you have to realize is the fact that your friend, Ashley has a very serious problem that is not only unhealthy, it is just dangerous. She needs special attention. She may also need someone to talk to about her problems. First, you should try asking her if there is something wrong with her... Or if theres anything she needs to talk about. Just be a great listener and let her vent her feelings and that could help a lot. If the problem persists, you should definately tell her parents or a counselor or something.

i think you need to talk to HER about it first and try to find out what the problem is. if she is upset for some reason you can try to help her fix it. if she is stubborn and does not want to talk about it you should tell an adult you trust or let her know you are going to tell an adult. That might let her know how much you care, and possibly even make her stop or tell an adult herself! but you sound like a great friend to care that much about her.

If you tell someone your best friend will be really mad at you. cutting is very serious and if can lead to death or other things. Before you tll an adult talk to your friend and try to help her stop. Ask her why does she do it and you just have to let her know that you are always going to be there for her no matter what. Make her feel better and just hide all the cutting things she uses. If she doesnt stop tell her that you are thinkign about telling an adult becase she needs help! Instead of cutting there is many other things she can do that would make her feel better but hurting herself is defenetlly not one of them. When you tell someone I bet that they will suggest that she sees a counslor which wont make her happy but sometimes tehy really could help her out. Just show her that you really care about her and that you dont want her doing that to herself and all the bad things that can happen. Life is short so live it up. She only has one life and she wont be able to go back and fix those mistakes. [[ &hearts;&hearts; ]]

Your first instinct may be to tell an adult, but in some cases that is not always the best thing to do. First, confront your friend about this. Ask her if she would like you to help her get some help, if she says yes, then you may be able to help HER tell her parents.

I think you should tell someone. If you are true friend you will help her. I think you should also take her to church.

Cutting yourself is very serious and can lead to death and a whole host of other problems. You need to talk to her about this, find out why she is doing it and try and resolve it. I wouldn't go and tell anyone about it just yet, only tell another if you can't do anything about it and your help didn't work. You need to find out why she is doing it and get her to stop. Be her friend and listen to why she is doing it and help her the best you can. I hope everything works out for you and this advice helps.

x_pink_x109 answered Sunday July 17 2005, 1:27 pm:
Hey!
She shouldn't be cutting herself and she CAN get hurt. You HAVE to tell someone about it. If you don't, she'll continue doing it and she could seriously hurt herself or even kill herself.

The reason why she does it is because that is the only pain she can control and you need to show herthat you care about her and don't want her dead or hurt in any way. If she does not believe you or does not listen to you, tell an adult like her mom, dad, or guardian.

It's the best thing you can do at a time like this. I think it's good that you really care about her and you're not leaving this alone. That's good. If she refuses to stop, don't give up on trying. Try everything you can to convince her that you love her as a friend and she could kill herself.

That would probably convince her that she's better than what she's doing and she needs to talk to YOU about it, rather than letting the anger out on herself. I'm really sorry and you know where I am if you want to talk or need more advice. Also, you can email me at x_pink_x109@yahoo.com O.K?

I guarentee you, in the end, it'll work. Don't worry and STAY STRONG! :-)

Best of luck!
Hope I helped!
