The Hurting Habit
My friend is continuing to hurt herself. When I was on the phone with her last night she cut herself about eight times. I don't know what to do she has done this repeatedly and i'm afraid she is really going to hurt herself. What can I do or what should I say?

o goodness! this is a subject that i really feel strongly about i guess you could say! Try talking to her about anything/everything that is bothering her!...tell her that no matter how stressed or sad she might be that cutting herself isent going to solve anything! let her know that she can talk to you aobut anything instead of resorting to that. If she dosent quit then you need to talk to an adult and get her help@...cutting is a serious problem tht sometimes needs medical attention if it gets to bad. Before you tell an adult though make sure that she really is doing it, not just sayin that she is...sometimes people will say that they are doing those kinds of things because they want attention and they feel that they have no other way to go..so just talk 2 her and let her know that ure there for her! good luck hope everything gets better <33

Oh man, do not just let her do it and ignore it! No, no no! It's obvious that if she told you then, conciously or not, she is looking ffor help. Talk to a trusted adult about it, preferably a counselor. The other thing you have to continue doing is being a good friend. Let her know you are there and that, when times get touch, you would rather have her come to you then hurt herself. However, do not press the issue. Still have fun and crazy times with her. Oh, and get her out of the house if you can. You can also tell her to wear an elastic on her wrist and snap it (lightly) every time she wants to do something. Better yet, give her a friendship bracelet so every time she looks down to snap, she can remember that she has people who care about her. Also, tell her to use ice instead of cutting because ice causes alot less damage in the long term but still gives her the "numb feeling". Hope I helped!

just let her do it
she is the only one in control of her life and decisions.
She isn't going to respond to help if she doens't want to.
The best you can do is be there.

Hmm sweetie this is a though one. I used to cut myself to and i used to tell my boyfriend just to scare him to see how he would react. Sit down with her and tell her how you feel tell her that you dont like when she does it, tell her that you love her very much and that you dont want to se her get hurt. If she countinues doing it you need to tell someone! She could die! YOU NEED TO HELPP HERR..its for attenition i promise!

Some people would say that it is not your business but she needs help. personally you should talk with someone about it. like a school counselor or someone close to her. she may not be happy that you told but at least she will be alive. later on she will thank you for saving her life, because if she continues like this chances are she will end up either in a hospital or a grave. it is the truth and maybe she will someday realize it. if you need anything else just let me know.

tell her to stop. talk to her about what's bothering her.
if she doesn't listen to you, like the last person said, tell an . or if theirs a reason why you can't tell an tell some of your friends that are also friends with her and try to get her to stop. tell her its not doing her any good.
