Call 1-800-DONT-CUT It's a hotline for cutters

It's really nothing you can do to MAKE her stop. All you can do is be supportive and suggest she communicate with her parents to seek psychological counseling. She needs the assistance of a trained mental health professional. In the meantime don't judge her and try to understand she has underlying issues that are somehow relieved by the cutting. She's really hurting inside. If all else fails I don't think it would be over stepping your bounds to talk to her parents yourself particularly if they have no idea what's going on. I'm sure they would like to know and would never want her to be to the point of self-destruction. On the other hand if the parents know and still aren't taking action you can personally file an anonymous child abuse report via the child abuse hotline in your state for parental neglect and she will be forced into counseling. But whatever helps it'll be worth it in the end.

The best thing you can do for her is let someone know about it. Tell her your concerned and you love her but she needs help, or she might, not purposely, hurt herself badly. She might feel like you don't understand her, and she might tell you she hates you, but you have to tell some one that can get her help, and won't critisize her, maybe her parents or a guidance counceler. These people will make her realize that she needs help and she has to be willing to except it. I went through the same thing with one of my friends. In the end she thanked me. I hope everything works out.
bye

TELL SOMEONE. Talk to her about it. Just realize that it is not a suicide attempt. She might get mad at you for telling on her but just remember that you are doing the right thing. She will thank you later.
I had the same problem. I cut for about 6 years before someone told on me. I had to go to a behavioral center for a week and be put on meds for it. I'm so glad they told though. My life is completely different now that I've been though the counseling and everything.

Like others have said you need to tell an adult that can get her help. It is not really known why people cut themselves exactly but there are psychological and psychiatric reasons. Your friend needs professional help before she seriously hurts herself accidentally or on purpose. Let her know that you care for her that is why you are helping. It could get messy but in the end she will thank you for caring.

Well people who cut themselves usually have a lot of problems. You need to talk to her, try to make her open up to you. And if that doesn't work then you are going to have to talk to someone who might have some control over her. Because if you don't you will regret it when she does something drastic.

you have to talk to her about it. sit down somewhere alone with her so you two can privately talk. tell her that you know what she is doing and you are scared for her because you love and care about her so much. if that doesn't work, you should tell her parents. they are the best people to tell, and they will be able to help her. try to make your friend feel good about herself, bring up her confidence, hook her up with a cute guy...something to boost her confidence and get her mind off of more stressful things.

I think maybe you should tell your mom or her mom or someone else that you can trust (an adult) because they can get her the help she needs...I am sorry for you and your friend
