some signs of people cutting are wearing long sleeve shirts, sweatshirts when its warm out and like not letting anyone touch her wrist and everything adn if she is emotionaly depressed then she might be cutting but the thing you should do is to talk to her about it..talk to her about and see if there is any way you can help her with her problem and tell her that you are always there for her..
hoped i helped you..good luck..

Well you can see by the scars and if they look reall new and they will usualey wear long sleaves to cover it up and they probebley wouldn't be happy they would look sad and very unhappy ! and I just don't get the point of cutting but people will never get the consiqueses [ ok i do not know how to spell that lol].

People who cut often wear long sleeves even when it is warm out. However it is winter. Sometimes they wear short sleeves and hide cuts under a wrist band. Although not all people who self injure cut their wrists. Whenever she raises her hand or arm does she pull her sleeve down so it doesnt expose her wrist? Another sign is if she seems to itch her arms. When you cut and they start to heal they can be very itchy, but not with everyone as we are all different.
Has she been going through alot in her life right now? Does she seem down alot?

Here is a site that might help you out:

if you notice her wearing long sleeves a lot.. or getting really like scared when you like touch her or something. like when she wears shor sleeves try and see if there are any marks.. thats not the only place people will do it though.. the upper leg is another common area on where people have done it.

I don't know why people thing that putting ugly scars on themselves is the way to make them forget about their problems. It just bothers the heck out of me. Anyways, some signs are that she probablly will have scars and fresh cuts most of the time. She will probablly wear long sleeved shirts to cover it up, but people don't always cut on their arms. It goes beyond. Another sign is that she doesn't seem happy. Give it a couple of days and see what's up. If you are really concered then talk to her soon because it's really dangerous.

Here are some web sites for you. One deals specifically with what to do if a friend is cutting. The biggest sign/reason for cutting is depression. :)
