Do your friend a huge favor
Tell her father yourself
This is absoulutly not fair to you or her
You should not have to deal with this
And she shouldnt be putting herseld through this
In the long run she will be lucky to have a friend like you if you told
She needs some serious help especially if it's for attention.
Please do everyone a favor and tell your friends father about the cutting and her eating disorder

Hope I Helped
Good Luck Hun :)

ok well ive been through this situation before and from both sides its not good. and let me tell you from her side, she thinks its stoping her problems but what you need to tell her is its bringing more, you need to find why exactly shes doing this? and from your side what eevr you do dont yell at her to stop or anything dont telll her, its stupid, she knows it is, and the best thing you need to let her know is you are laways there for her no matter what, tell her you dont like nor agree wit hwhat shes doing but your not just gonna drop her. and if gets worse talk to her parenst you may lose her friendship but your saving he life.

Hey!
well i did that for a couple of months and i could never understand the amount of pressure i was putting on my friends. But i understnad now how horrible it is for a friend of someone doing this becasue they care about you soo much. Your friend obviously has a problem now becuase she cant stop. after a couple of weeks for me i just began to do it out of habbit! i could have been the happiest bunny ever but i would still cut something on me! it was addictive. This could be exactly what your friend is going through because she started for attnetoin but now its out of habbit and she possibly just couldnt stop. youve got to talk 2 her about it and talk 2 her about how upsetting it is for you because your her friend and hate to see her like this. Also one way to help her stop is to tell her Dad or convince her to do it! i know if you tell him for her she will not be happy at first but in the end she will thank you for it! it sounds like your friend has some problems/issues she might not be telling you about because she also has an eating disorder. Not Good. Try talkin 2 her about all her problems. really let her get it all out. A problem shared is a problem halved. ALso your a fantastic friend to her becuase you really care about her. If its an addicitive thing tell her that everytime she cuts her self shes causing soo much more damage than she realises. I stopped over a year ago and well my scares are still with me today and everytime i see them i think what on earth did i do that for. it really pains me and sometimes i cry about it! soo just tell her that it may feel good now but when she finally realsies what shes doing later in life shell really hate it. Also try and get her mind onto somehting else like chocolate! Everytime she feels like cutting herself get her to eat chocolate. Or to do something she enjoys like one of her hobbies! i played hockey when i felt like cutting myself and i really helped. Shes lucky to have you as a friend you really care.
Sorry its sooo long XD
xox Porsche
Hope it goes ok hun!!

Just to let you know, I have cut myself before. I know what its like for my friends to go through this too, since they had to see me go through it, like I had to go through it.

To start off, you need to tell your friends it was a foolish thing you did in the first place. Just because you did, does NOT give her the right too. Cutting yourself is a mistake, and people usually don't think about harming them self and the consequences while they are doing it.

You need to either sit down and talk to her about her, or get HER HELP!! Even know you might be scared of being a tattle tale, its whats best for her. My friend wouldn't stop cutting, i called the school counselor anonymously, and we got my friend help. And it helped her.
Do something, quickly.

Goodluck dear.

you should seriously sit down and talk to her about it
tell her that you love her, and you hate seeing her hurt herself how she is
talk to her about why she wants to do it, maybe she needs that talk
