Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Injuries?
i've been in the same situation
by far the best thing to do i to see a psychologist or counsellor. but if she is not ready for this maybe she can try what i did: i found mimicking the situation, but not actualy doing it helps. eg if she cuts he rists make her draw red lined on her rists and give her an elastic band to flick, this inflicts a little bit of pain wile not doing any damage. also if she writes dow the reason everytime in like a journal she can reflect or show it to someone else.

Anyone who I have ever known to do this needs to go to treatment or counseling. It is like an addiction. Usually without help they have a hard time controlling the impulse to self mutilate.

you have to learn how to have self control.. and it looks like she doesn't.. so my thought is that she should deffinitly go talk to someone.. rather it be a guidance councler or teacher.. just some adult that can help her gain her self control hope everything works out hun =]

help her find something that she loves that will occupy her time and make her happy! she cuts because she needs an outlet to let her pain out! by finding something else to help her occupy her time, she will hopefully stop! everyone should encourage her, and be there for her and help her get through this hard time in her life! no one goes through life being completely happy, we all just need to find a good and healthy way of dealing with our problems! cutting is a problem, so altho it may seem like it is helping her, in the end, it's only adding on to her problems!
if she can't stop after a couple of times of trying to stop, then have her seek professional help! talk to a parent or guidance councelor and they will make sure that she gets the help she needs! oh, and tell her to get rid of all things in her room that she uses to cut herself! best of luck! :)

cutting is not an addiction... its psychological... she can theoriticaly stop when ever she wants ...and the fact that she wanted to ask a question an how to stop shows that she is ready.
If shes cutting because she want to feel like she has control over the pain in her life (which is what this sounds like) than she should put rubber bands on her wrists and snap them when she wants to cut.
*hope I helped*
