I think my friend cuts...
Alright I think my friend is a cutter, But I'm not sure. I've never seen any cuts but she is always wearing long sleeves. How can I tell if she is? Are there other signs?

Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
Hey, What I would do is be like. "Hey Can I Give you a fake Tatoo?" and If she lets you take a pen and pull up her sleeve.

if she wears long sleeves then yeh she does and you probably shouldnt know if she does she has something wrong with her and if she wanted you to know then she would tell you and she doesnt want you or anyone else to know and if she wanted you to know then she would wear a t - shirt that said it.it is her bussiness trust im experienced i use to do it so when you find out then dont tell her you know she might get mad.

one reason she wearind long sleeves because its winter!!!! DUH and yes if she crys alot are bight her lip trying not to

well if she starts getting really insacure...
or if her sleves come up and she's like always making sure that they are down and not raising... if she talks about depression/being depressed...
if anything happened bad lately that would draw her into doing that...
a couple of my friends were cutters ... so if you need to know antying else just let me know and i would be happpy to inform you abotu everything i know =]

well you dont wanna go right out there and say that cause you never know maybe she just like long sleeves. If she is a good friend just ask her. Be like im not saying you are or anything but you always wear long sleves and i wanted to know if you cut. Tell her that your only asking cause you care about her and dont want her to get hurt.
hope i helped.

Well, for starters, don't jump to conclusions!
Make sure you know for sure that she cuts..or else you'll go too far and hurt her feelings.
Maybe you should straight out ask her. (Maybe she'll lie..maybe she'll tell you the truth.) Confront her about it and ask her why she always wears long sleeve shirts. (Then again, it is WINTER..and it's really cold outside!)
If you confront your friend and you think she's lying...let it go..(for a while) and see if her behavior changes in anyway (Is she depressed, moody, scared?)If you do notice scars on her arms/legs..ask her where they are from.
Here's what to do if your friend is cutting:
Understanding why a friend may be cutting allows you be supportive. The first thing to do to help your friend stop (if she is cutting) is to be realistic about what you can accomplish: As with any damaging behavior (such as alcoholism, drugs, or eating disorders), some people just may not be ready to acknowledge their problem and stop. So don't put too much pressure on yourself - your friend's problem could be a long-standing one that requires help from a professional (therapist).
If you find out for sure that she cuts, here are the steps to take:
*Talk about it.
*Tell someone!
*Help your friend find resources (therapist)
*Help your friend find alternatives to cutting.
*Acknowledge your friend's pain.
Also, no matter what...don't judge her.

well you can't be to sure. why don't you ask your friend or ask if they have family problems. or try to ask this question to a parent or counsiler.
thanx for your time!!!
