sillyrob answered Sunday October 2 2005, 3:56 am: He's probably doing it for attention because it's the cool thing to do nowadays. He probably has nothing wrong with him, or problems that aren't really "problems". Confront him about it, it's a really stupid trend to be following.

runz_with_scizzorz answered Sunday October 2 2005, 2:03 am: you could try to tell him that there is no reason that he needs to cut himself because all it does is cause him more daily pain. i think you need to find out WHY he is cutting himself and then try to solve the problem yourself. but if you cant, then there is nothing you can do besides being a good friend. just tell him that he is cool and that nothing gets solved when you hurt yourself. hope i helped.

karenR answered Sunday October 2 2005, 1:24 am: I believe you should tell an adult who can get him some much needed help.
I have a website for you to check out. It is for friends of people who cut. I think you might find something in there to help you decide what to do. Good luck :)

sillygoose92b answered Saturday October 1 2005, 11:35 pm: Well, If he's cutting himself, somethings wrong and it's pretty much a cry for help. He needs someone to talk to so talk to him and let him get it out. I know that's probably really hard, don't force it but when he wants to talk listen and respond. Also, if this is more than a one time thing, you should tell his parents or a councelor at school or whoever because if he is depressed it will just keep getting worse and bottled up and may lead to something worse than cutting so its for his own good. I know that's probably not would he'd want but it could save his life in the end. Mainly though, just help him get through this by listening and helping him let it all out.

MsGolightly answered Saturday October 1 2005, 11:32 pm: If he's told you that he's cutting himself, he's looking for attention in a very bad way.
If you saw cuts on his skin and he refused to say how they got there, or walked in on him cutting and he insisted it was nothing, he really has a self-injury problem.
I'd suggest talking to your school counsellor, who would be able to talk to your friend, and maybe your friend's parents. True self-injury is a very dangerous problem, and needs to be dealt with appropriately. [ MsGolightly's advice column | Ask MsGolightly A Question ]
