You shouldn't freak out about it. That wouldn't be the right thing to do.
What you should do is talk to him. Let him know you care for him and that you are always there for him and you're there to talk to him whenever he needs you. But you also need to encourage him to talk to an adult. Cutting is a serious problem that should not be taken lightly. I mean he may not be trying to kill himself, but if he accidentally cuts a vein, he could end up dying. So he needs to stop because his health is in danger.
If he doesn't tell an adult, then you should. He may get upset or mad at you, but it's better to have him alive and mad at you than hurting himself or even dead. You don't want that, so you need to let either your parents know and they can talk to his parents, or you can tell his parents, or you can talk to a teacher or school counselor and tell them what's going on.
Eventually he'll realize that what you did was because you care about him. Don't freak out on him, don't be mean or anything. Just tell him that you're there for him and ask him to tell an adult. So if he decides not to, you should do it.

When I was in middle school. 8th grade. Some kids started a "pack" a group of kids who cut them selfs. I was friends with a lot of them. I was shocked. There was one girl she was so depressed we did office work together and it was something I really wanted to do and she helped me. So I halped her. I sat and talked with her it took several days but I convinced her to speak with her mother and her mother got her the help she needed. Her mother called me and thanked me and it was the best feeling in the world to know i pulled that family a little bit closer. I want you to think of the worst case they could die and you knew and did nothing.. That guilt will eat you away. if you cant get threw to them talk to an adult in the long run you saved a life. Good Luck.
