You have to talk to someone - a trusted adult that will find him the help he needs, a councillor to talk to or a doctor to prescribe something if he is clinically depressed, try not to leave him alone, and he will be mad at you for saying anything but at least you will still have him around. Don't wait either this is serious.

You need to talk to ur friend and see y they are cutting! I use to have a friend that was like a sister to me and she cut her self and the reason that she did that is because she felt that no one cared and that she was always a pain to have a round. But once you talk to ur friend and tell him that even if u are the only person that cares about him (which i'd think that he has more then one person who cares) that if he ever did die you would be heartbroken tell him that he is a great friend and u never want to lose him and that he just needs to talk to u and let out his feeling a more safe way! Cutting doesnt help ****! i've tried it once when i was soo mad and i dont see the point its painful! u get a rush 4 like 2 seconds then it hurts lol and its easier to talk to someone or yell in a pillow or hit a pillow or do a hobbie!
bottom line he needs u be him to talk to.. so be there!

Cutting is indeed a serious problem and it's my guess that your friend has been doing this for some time. Cutting when they bleed they feel as if they are releasing the pain built up inside of them...watching it run out....also known to the outsider as a call for help!!!!!!....talking to someone about killing ones self is another call for help....you unless you are a professional are NOT qualified to give them this help...so please either talk to a family member and stress your concerns or a school councilor...ASAP...Don't try to take this on yourself! They usually don't cut deep enough to do "the job" however accidents happen!

You really need to talk to your friend's parents about this, when he's not home. People who threaten suicide are depressed and worse.
You can also do a yahoo search on Self-Injury.
People self injure for many reasons... distressful situations in their past with which they have not faced or have been unable to cope with -- such as sexual abuse, living with alcholism etc.
This is a serious matter. The website below has a lot of good sources for information and help. I hope you will take the time to check it out.
I'm sorry for your friend... i can relate to him well. take care.

Okay first of all how old are you, and how old is your friend?? I will assume that you are under 18 and still in school. If this is the case you should tell a parent, guidance counselor , a teacher somebody. Your friend needs help!! Be concerned but neutral. I personally don't think that they are going to kill themselves. And just want attention. But they might hurt themselves. And either way need help.
Now if your friend is an adult, tell them to grow up. And no you wouldn't go to their funeral if they die because of something, selfish, and childish.

depression is one of the worst things some one can go through. you friend is suffering mentally and need someone to talk to.
maybe his family life is not wat he'd like it to be. it could be that his friends are pressuring him into some thing. it could be a whole lot of things- even the with the world.
he confines in you and that's great.
get help for him, therapy can be used.
cont. talking to him about the things his going through.
i read this book once..." young people ask. " published by Jehovah's witness. plezz get a copy.
talk about his death and tell him how empty the world would be with out him...

not trying to sterotype but he sounds like one of the emo people thats starting to become popular. they tend to cut themselves..wear all black and dark make up..listen to punk rock music etc. overall he sounds deeply depressed which is very serious. if he cant find something to calm him down feel less stressed like music or video games or just finding a new friend or a girlfriend..he needs to get professional help so they may prescribe him with an anti-depressant. i've actually been on anti-depressents once myself...

Wow thats tough! I had a girlfriend that did that! The only thing i could think of was to talk to her parents! I was there for her but having her parents helped a ton! I couldnt live with myself if something happend to her and i was the only one to know about her problem! She got alittle mad at me but she got over it and got help. Alot of cutting is crying out for help and attention. It sounds he needs friends and famliy in his life. Good luck hope everything works out!

Talk to a responsible ADULT who knows him. Do not try and figure out what the problem is yourself.
At best, he's attention seeking. At worst, he's seriously ill. You could try and get him some info to help him, but mostly he just needs to see a counsellor or someone.

Tell a responsible adult, Be prepared that he may hate you for telling, my friend told about another girl, the girl had to go into hospital, they were best friends, but now they hate each other, But I believe my friend did the right thing, because the other girl was going to end up in deep ****
