cutting and sucide

You could just mention that you have seen the cuts and that you are slightly worried and hope she knows she can come to you if she ever needs to talk. Be warned, she may deny it or be a bit angry, but she will come around and at least she knows you are supportive and she can turn to you. If you do not want to run the risk of her being upset, then say that you have noticed she seems a bit stressed/ down and that you are there if she needs to talk. It is basically the same thing, but without the embarrassment of her admitting she has self harmed. I would have hated it if someone had just called me out like that as I always made up what my cuts were from as I just could not admit it. Just basically try and get her to be open about her feeling with you: maybe share some troubles of your own and hopefully she will open up too.

I wouldn’t tell her parents without her consent as that will upset her, but you may need to if things seem to get worse. It would be best if you could support her and try and get her to tell them, or seek some help, herself. If that doesn’t happen, then involve a teacher or parent, but ask them if they can approach it as if they have seen the cuts themselves as otherwise it may break her trust in you.

It is a really bad situation to be in, so make sure you do not take all the stress on yourself, and that you have someone to support you too.

If shes cutting then you need to understand why, talk to her about it, she needs someone to relate to her, to make her feel that her life is meaningful and that shes needed and loved.

they your parents and ask them to tell her parents its for her saftey.
