What ur friend is doing is serious and she is probably hurting right now. She shows u becuz it is a way of asking for help withotu really admiting to it. I would talk to an adult or maybe ur school counselor.Don't make her feel stupid for doing it though.she needs support right now more than anything.cutting is common amongst teenage girls these days and she is lucky to have such a concerned friend.Let her know ur there for her and u can even do some reaserch on the web on cutting for ur own knowledge so it will be easier to understand where she is coming from.best of luck. Remember it isn't healthy to keep this a secret it could escalte.

Fisrt thing you should do is tell an adult, a teacher, a parent, just someone you can trust. The main reason she is doing this is for attention, ecspecially if she is showing them to everyone. But, there must be an underlying reaosn as to why she wants this attention. Try and get her to open up about it to you, all in all, keep acting like a normal friend, and she'll find it easier to talk to you :) Hope everything turns out ok xXx

Since she is so proud to show the cuts off, perhaps she should should show her parents. If not, think about telling them or another adult yourself. Something is not right with her, it's not your fault, and if anything she will someday regret all the self inflicted scars. Be a true friend and help her or this will just keep getting worse, and in other ways!!!

you should confront her because cutting herself on purpose is what experts call an unhealthy coping mechanism. This means that the people who do it have not developed healthy ways of dealing with strong emotions, intense pressure, or upsetting relationship problems. Mabe you should talk to her about why she does it . And also talk to her aboout getting her some help !

YES!!! Tell someone RIGHT AWAY. Talk to your mom or her mom or a counselor at school or a teacher, just talk to someone. Your friend needs help immediately, she is feeling depressed and looking for attention. What she is doing is VERY dangerous, not only physically, but mentally.

Yes, tell someone right away. In hurting herself and showing it off, your friend is screaming for help. Tell your parents, her parents, anyone you can think of who has authority to help her. She may get mad, but her life is more important.
Good luck, honey.

YES, please please tell someone right away!!
Please talk to a school counselor/dean, or a parent, or a priest/rabbi/pastor/coach/ irl scout troop leader/ adult you feel comfortable with. Cutting is a sign of self-loathing and low self-esteem. Your friend acts proud of it because she thinks her suffering and angst makes her intense and deep. But it's a very unhealthy thing and is a warning signal for suicide.
Please be a good friend to her and talk to an adult so they can get her the professional help she needs to be happy again.

i'm a cutter too. the 1st factor I did while i began, 2 weeks in the past, is I instructed my ultimate buddy. in the commencing up she replaced into mad at me and instructed me that if I ever did it back she would not be my buddy, yet then I did it back. She replaced into mad yet she instructed me she in basic terms reported that so as that i might end yet i did no longer artwork. at the instant she is the only one that is acquainted with, it is not a solid factor, you would be able to desire to tell somebody!!! permit ur anger out!!!!
