How to help a friend who cuts?

all you can do for now is talk to her about it and maybe advise her to go to a professional. she should tell her parents, this is something that shouldnt be kept a secret or it will eat her up and maybe she will hurt herself to death.

ok well you need to tell your friend that cutting isn’t good for her…yea she does it now but in the end she’s going to end up regreting it b/c the scars don’t go away…you need to tell her that if she continues then something bad will happen…she could end up cutting WAY too deep and bleed to death…you nvr knw…tell her that you’re there for her…and if it continues then go tlk to the school conselor…you need to tell someone about this if you’re not getting through to her…

you need to tell your school counselor or a teacher or someone who can help her.. she obviously has lots of emotional problems. She might be mad at you for a little while but she will get over it, She will realize that you really care about her and that you don’t want anything to happen to her..

I am a cutter too.. if you have any questions or advice you need you can fun mail me..

I agree with informer. If you are scared to tell her parents, tell your guidance counselor at school. They are obligated by law to take action against self harm, and then you don’t have to take the blame for telling. People that participate in self mutilation usually do so because they don’t know how to cope with the stresses of life in a healthy manner. Your friend just needs some better problem solving skills.
