Answer 1

I think its wonderful that your trying to help your friends, and to help them to understand they aren't alone and that there are other people who go through this. But as someone who use to do this also, and as their friend the best thing you can do is to tell either the school couseler or their parents. Its hard but you could save someones life.
A reality you don't want to ever have to face is the day one of them cuts to deep and bleeds to death. You can do it confidentialy, but even if they find out, its better to do this for them now, then take the risk of what could happen. Then they can get help, and one day will thank you for it.
Your doing a good thing, but you can't do it alone, parents and couseling really need to be involved.

ive cut for 3 years and now havent for 7 months. there are different things going on among kids these days

a) they cut and try to hide it, or only tell a few people
these people, are going through the same crap I did. sometimes people like this cut for a few reasons 1)becuase its a release and you get a sort of high from it that helps you deal 2) becuase they are "numb" and would rather feel pain than nothingness 3) they feel they diserve it, or are angry and taking it out on themselves.
b) they are known as a cutter around school and seem really open about it. 1) it could be a phase (but dont tell them that becuase its only will make them cut worse to proove its not a phase even if it is) 2) they have some issues, and cut to deal with it, but the wounds are scratches not cuts, so its sort of a borderline problem.

if u want some personal account from me email me at [e-mail] k

Answer 3

It's not the fact that they feel alone in the world...it's the fact that some are cutting too feel alive or to feel something or it's there way too cope when they have too much emotions at the same time...there is so many different reasons that one would cut themself...i do it to punish myself and when i have to deal with too much emotions at the same time...google self injury and you will get alot of information on it...that would be my advice and you would understand a little bit more.

Answer 4

I know I've been there before and it was because I wasn't able to tell the people whom I love so much something that has happened to me in the past I was afraid of what might happen. When I did do those things I knew I was fallen and it was really hard to get back up and get back in line.

I would go to those who know and ask them why they really do it and insure them that they have your trust and confidence not to judge them and not to tell anyone if they don't want you to. Also, let them know that if they need you...your going to be there to listen and do as much as you can to be there. Judging by the way you seem to be you are a very caring leader in life and want that way out for them but all you can do is listen and help them find it you can't do it for them. As soon as you help one person you open the door to helping another. I will be praying for you so God will confirm your answer. I hope this helps.

Answer 5

You have asked a very important question. People who resort to "cutting" to deal with their pain are in need of more support that you should be able to give. Please, if you know someone who is using this method of "release" get an adult that you trust to intervene. This cutting is not a good way of dealing with problems or any emotions your friends may have. No one will fault you for telling a parent, teacher, or trusted adult about someone who does this... and please if you ever feel the need to copy this action please know that you are not alone, there are lots of kids who want to help their friends. Just be the one who says "NO!" Please talk to a trusted adult because this is not something you should worry about. You sound like a caring person. Don't loose that quality...please talk to a parent today! sincerely, L

I don`t know anyone personally, but I know a doctor (in London, Canada) who has specialized in this. Her name is Dorothy Griffiths, maybe you can look her up and contact her. She might be able to give you a contact in your area.

There was a great article about this in the "Today`s Parent" magazine (also Canadian). Maybe giving your friends a copy of it might help a bit. The link is at the bottom, or just go to the magazine online, and search it - its called "Conversations with Cutters".
I really hope this helps a bit. I can`t give any other advice. I think it is great that you are trying to help them. Maybe they could start a self-help group if you could find someone to lead it. Good luck!

I, Always Good solemnly state in the name of God that i will give answers mostly from my knowledge, and if necessary, i never failed to give a link from which i handled the subject. I, Always Good solemnly state i will come with authority if i googled or taken from yahoo while giving my answers. signature. Madam, i follow you in giving short answers, and a few times i give long answer. Before submitting an answer i read twice and make corrections and i satisfy myself worth floating and then only i submit. Besides, some questions need long answers. some questions does not need long answer. For example, if you ask what is the capital of united states, it is not necessary for a long answer, and two line is sufficient. suppose if you ask krishna leela, or a detail from Bhagavat Gita, or Shani dev or Tulsi etc.,an elaborate answer is needed to explain. some may come with their knowledge where authority not needed, but many will come with details on copy and paste, the link is needed to verify. I am reading my answer twice before submitting.
