Answer 1

You need to tell her that if she starts cutting herself again your going to have to tell someone important like, her parents, your parents, teachers, guidance counselors. Tell her that you would do that because you care so much about her you don't wanna see her keep hurting herself. especially over a boy. And i would watch her.. one right move cutting herself and she can be dead. seriously im not kidding. so if you really do care about her take in consoderation to tell someone if she does start cutting again.

good luck =]

Answer 2

People like her, are just craving the attention over a boy! Tell the school, tell her parents, they should put her in therapy, or a social worker. Iv expiercence but not over a boy haha. If it gets to serious she can end up in a mental institution, try talking to her because a boy isnt worth it, in 5 years she'll notice how ugly her wrists are, due to the cutting

Answer 3

Hi Sweety,
u r a good friend 2 her, but she needs profession help fast! i did that bfor & she is getting pleasure from hurting herself in her mind. A cutter needs a shrink not a knife, try to convince her if she's a good friend, then see if reverse sycology will work, as if u
will do it way worse than her, and 4 God's sake tell her parents in confidence to out of the blu where she's doing it!!!

Answer 4

My answer would be to LET her cut herself...
but if you want to be a "good friend that gives her the attention she craves everytime she calls you and tells you things like this that a doctor would immediately prescribe Prozac for if he got word of this,"

tell her parents.
She MIGHT never talk to you again, but if you ARE that "good friend...." it's supposed to be worth it.

It's usually just a part of someone's life that they have to get over... you're not supposed to know, care, or interfere, but oh well.

Answer 5

Your desire is noble and your friend is so fortunate to have you. You know, this choice your friend makes is so much bigger than either of you can handle alone, you really need to encourage her to get help (through school counselor/nurse, her private physician, or if she has one, psychiatrist).

You can help her on the periphery and love her where she is, but please, don't take this on your shoulders because it will break your heart if anything happens to her and it isn't yours.

Please, refer her to someone who can help and/or if you are real close your parents will respect the limits you set, ask them for advice; you sure don't want them jumping in and interfering with what you are trying to do because it would make it worse. Anyway, if you have that type of relationship with your folks, ask for their advice.

Sending you best wishes for a positive outcome.

Answer 6

Talk to her and tell her you're worried about her.

Okay, let me say honestly, my friend cut her self for a long time and I found out about it and a week later her parents found out about it and called me and asked me if I knew and they were so upset. I really think that if she's hurting herself she kindof voids a promise not to tell anyone, she needs professional help. She's lucky to have a friend that worries about her like you do but really help get her real help.

Answer 7

Sounds like your friend may have borderline personality disorder. I think she needs to seek a counselor. I would have her see her physician and get in to see one. Explain to her that lots of people get counseling and that there may be a cure in this. I tend to think that she was awfully hurt at one time while young though she may not remember. She needs someone who can teach her to disassociate herself from the emotions of that time. I hope this helps and even if my theory is wrong she still needs to see a professional counselor.

If she tries to hurt herself again you really need to get her in immediately. Any time a person is harmful to themselves or others they need treatment so do this and do not accept her hurting herself, You will have to be the strong one in this. Good luck!

Answer 8

If your friend is cutting herself you need to tell her parents. I have no idea how old you or she is, but she needs help that you are not able to provide. Cutting is a psychiatric disorder/mental illness that she needs to be treated for by a medical doctor. As for being her friend, keep supporting her, take her mind off things that upset her, go to movies, shopping, outside activities. But please tell an adult or someone you trust - even your parents.

Answer 9

you NEED to tell someone about what your friend is doing--that is the best way you can be her friend. she needs professional help and its up to you to tell either her parents or a school counselor or someone. i am not a psychiatrist, but i have studied this and it sounds like borderline disorder...people with that cannot feel emotions normally but they can feel pain. by cutting themselves, it helps them release some stress and feel something. she will keep on doing this unless she gets help. i have heard of people who have cut themselves down to the bone, quite scary.

Answer 10

You shouldnt have sworn not to tell because as something as dangerous as that, you need to tell. And if it gets too serious I know it can be hard becuase its come to either her health, or a promise. So in the long run her health is wayyy more important.
