Self harm

Have you ever sat her down and talked to her one on one about her cutting? Has she ever told you the reasons behind it? The only thing that you can really do that would help would be to talk to a responsible adult that you trust about this and see if you can get her some help. If she's concidering suicide there could be something going on in her homelife, school, or many other diffrent areas in her daily life. Try and get your friend help soon before it's too late.

do you know why she is feeling down?before you do anything drastic, i would just try and talk to her..find more outa lot of teenagers turn to self harm these days, its becoming normal practice which is sad..i cant really offer that much advice because you havnt said much but this website is quite good for info: www.recoveryourlife.com

well she's prolly not trying to kill herself....cutting isn't usually done to try to kill yourself....

just talk to her alot and try cheering her up even if that sounds impossible.cutting you may think is worrying but in some cases its the only way some people cope its like an emotional scream and kinda' lets out their anger which helps alot.because they cut don't mean they are suicidal or its a suicidal act cos it isn't and its really hard to stop cos its probaly the most powerful but WORST anti-depressant.so all i can say is be there as a friend but the cutting is her buisness and her way of coping even though how terrible that sounds but thats something they need to stop themselves

all you can do is let her no shes not alone and be there for her, sitting down and talking dosnt always help. let her no your there and shell come to you
