happy go lucky cutter?
So I just started my new job in November and absolutly love everyone I work with. I've been hanging out with this one girl who is always smiling and just really happy and friendly. But when I was working with her yesterday she reached for something and I noticed a bunch of cuts on her arm. I asked her what they are from and she said nothing and then acted like it never happened. I'm really worried about her. What should I do? Should I tell someone else?

you definitely need to tell someone but unless if you want her to get fired i wouldnt tell your boss. she is probably just embarassed. cutting only helps for a little while but afterwards leaves most people feeling guilty. talk to her too.

She's probably ashamed of it herself, and it really isn't any of your business. She might already be getting help, and doesn't want to be making a big deal out of it. If your that concerned about it then I would tell a trusted adult. Not your boss because otherwise she'll probably get her fired. She really doesn't owe you any sort of explanation though, so don't get the idea that she does. I'm sorry but saying your going to be there is not going to help her. Just put the offer out there that your always there to talk if she wants to. A lot of people cut because they feel no one really cares enough to listen to their problems. It's a quick and easy way to get rid of your emotions that are holding you down. Except it does leave scars; which is not good. I hope at least some of my advice helped. Sorry. I'm just telling it like it is.

I advise you speak to her about this immediately. Cutting is a very seriouse thing and can result in death. If she won't open up to you about it - tell her you'll have no choice but to talk to a counsilor, your boss, or even her parents about it. She may hate you for it - but in the end you could be saving her life. Good Luck!

Yeah, cutting is very common. Some people it's a severe thing to, but ussually not. You never know what could be behind that fake smile. :/
hard to say, but really. don't tell others. just been in a calm conversation with her, and don't seem to put to much pressure on her to tell you. if it's really just somebody you are in real debt of worrying about, try to get close to her, in a friendly way. maybe she'll tell you. and maybe that friendship will turn out marvelous:)
good luck!

you should definately say something to her but dont make a big deal about it and dont tell anyone else because obviously she is going out of her way to hide it and she doesnt want others to know and also thats her personal problem not yours so just let her know you are concerned but be gentle about it.
hope i helped:)
