Answer #1

Self-harm is not a good thing to EVER, EVER get rid of pain. Start talking to your friend about this more often tell her reason why people like her. Comfort her when her times are tough. Try to find out the reasons why she’s hurting herself, and stop it. There’s many reason why self-mutilation is not a good idea to stop pain, Example; She could infect the area were she is hurting herself. Last resort if you can take away any object she is hurting herself with ( make it off limits it her) If you can’t tell you parents to. I used to do it too, because I overheard my parents says gays are going to all burn in hell and I was scared and hurt because of that ( I haven’t told my parents yet.) I soon stopped because I almost had to have my hand amputated. I told myself. Stop you’re only hurting yourself, you aren’t helping the situation. Good luck. xoxo

Answer #2

Well how did your boyfriend help you? maybe you could show her the support your boyfriend did for you, because it sounds as if she could really do with it. You need to talk to her about it, confront her. Ask her why it helps, ask her if she’d consider seeing a specialist to help her overcome self-harming?
