Maybe you could invite her over to your place for dinner a couple of nights a week, go out together, do things to take her mind off of it. As for the cutting thing, this can be a very very serious issue, you may want to speak with her about it & if that doesnt help I seriously suggest talking to an adult about it. Cutting can turn into some other much worse conditions, & the cause is often psychological problems such as depression, which needs to be taken care of early on.
Hope I Helped.

She could go walk around her neighborhood get some fresh air clear her head volunteer somewhere for a few hours to get herself out of the house tell her to search on the internet or in the newspaper to see if there are any jobs available in her area she could try & get her permit once she does she'll be able to get her license & she'll have more freedom to do what she wants cutting herself isn't going to help her it will just make the situation worst you need to make her realize what she's doing to herself is very dangerous she could possiblity bleed to death if she's cutting on her wrists since there's veins there especially if she's home alone & she cuts she won't be able to call for help she needs to
see a therapist talking is better then keeping everything bottled up inside to herself it isn't healthy to do that
