not_your_star34 answered Saturday September 2 2006, 1:05 pm: Well, okay, first of all, have you talked to her about it? If not, that's what you should do. Talk to her when you're alone, and when she's not in a bad mood.
You need to tell her something like, "____ (her name), I want to talk to you. I know that you cut, and it worries me. You don't need to cut to release your pain. I'm here for you if you need to talk about anything. You have people who care about you. I care about you. We can get help. You're not alone."
Now, she might not take your advice. You can't change anybody. You can try, but people, in any situation, will only change if they are willing to.
So, you will have to tell your parents, her parents, and/or the school guidance counselor. Cutting is a sign of depression, and if she's depressed, she needs professional help. You can't do this alone.
You're a good friend to this girl, for caring about her and wanting to help her.
adviice_whore answered Friday September 1 2006, 8:47 pm: Oh wow you need to get her help quick! I would tell her she needs to go to a counselor maybe a guidance counselor to start off with and see if she needs further help. You should definitely go with her to give her support. If she says shes fine on her own you should go to your guidance counselor and tell him or her about your friend and they can make an appointment to see her. Even if she says not to tell anyone, you cant keep it a secret. If you do, you are putting her life in danger. Do the right thing and tell someone about it.
christina answered Friday September 1 2006, 8:32 pm: You can't do anything to make her stop. She'll stop when she's ready, and only if she really wants to. But, what you can do is get her some help. Tell an adult you trust. She might be mad if she finds out it was you that told, but when she stops cutting, and sees how much better she feels & looks, she'll thank you. Trust me.
Nobodys_Girl answered Friday September 1 2006, 8:26 pm: You can't tell her ANYTHING in this world, that would make her stop. You NEED to tell somebody at school, Tell her parents or her family members. They need toget her some help. Tell somebody, it could save her & help her in her life, no matter if she'll get mad.
You got a good chance to help you're friend here, so steal that chance. [ Nobodys_Girl's advice column | Ask Nobodys_Girl A Question ]
kc answered Friday September 1 2006, 7:07 pm: ok. this is a serious thing. i used to cut, and i would hate it when people bugged me about it. they would tell me to stop but it was just so addicting that i couldn't stop no matter what happened. then my friends said it got out of control and told the guidence councilor. and guidence had to take that stuff seriously.. i screamed and cried and threatened.. but they wouldn't let me out and called my mom. that was torture, three hours of that. then they made me go to therapy. which was HORRIBLE because the lady i had seemed ot need it herself. but after that, i don't know something changed in me. like i asked myself "what would happen if i died.. who would i let down?" and i thought of the friends that cared and the people that love me. don't bug her about it, it will just get her mad. tell your guidence councilor. he doesn't have to tell her who told him so your friend won't get mad. but if you descide to let him tell her, be prepared she might get pretty mad and feel betrayed. but trust me she will thank you in the end. make sure you tell a counsilor soon.
