The main thing to do in a situation like this is let her know that you all care about her and value her as a friend and stuff. Many people cut because they feel like nobody in the world loves them, including themself. When you are talking to her normally, bring up some of her great accomplishments, like "Remember when you hit that home run in the softball game and we ended up winning." Also, remind her of happy times you and your friends have had together, like "Remember when we all we outside and got out shoes stuck in the basketball hoop so I had to go to the store with one shoe on and one other random shoe tired around my ankle because my mom was yelling at us to leave?"
Also, some problems require solutions that are beyond what even a best friend can give. The fact that she told Morgan tells us that she knows it is a problem and she is searching for help. Suggest that she goes to see a therapist and tell a trusted adult.
The best of luck to you and your friends.

Well if she knows that morgan tells you guys then she obviously wants help and wanst to tell you guys but just cant.Just be sitting with her one day and ask her Do you cut yourself?get to the point you know.shell probably say yes and if she gets all mad that morgan told you then she just wants attention.She can get serious skin disease and cutting wont help solve her problems.She can kill herself like that one day.God created her and everyone for a reason so why should she do this to herself?

just let her know that its dangerous & that you guys care for her. and instead of cutting herself when shes upset that she can call one of you and talk about. the most you can do is just let her know that you understand whats shes going to and that you will help her if she ever needs it. if things get out of hand though i would definitly tell a parent or an adult. hope everything goes okay.
