My friend is a cutter, should I tell her parents?
My friend and I are both 15 and she just told me last night that she cuts herself. She showed me her scabs and scars, they're all over her body. It's on her thighs, wrists, upper arms, hips, and stomach. I think she is a heavy cutter but this is the first time I've really saw s cutters scars. I don't know how bad it usually is. Is my friend a heavy cutter or not? Her parents don't know anything about her cutting, she keeps it hidden well. I was wondering if I should tell her mom (she doesn't live with her dad so I would only tell her mom) that her daughter cuts. I just feel like maybe her mom could help her out in ways that I can't. But then I think I should just give my friend time until she's ready to tell her parents on her own. I feel like if I tell her parent, I'm betraying her, but I'm really not though? Am I? Because really I'm just considering telling her parents because I love her and I want her to get better. This is a difficult situation :( What should I do???
How can i stop my friend from cutting herself?

My friend is cutting herself what should I do?
I've asked this question before but I didn't get enough answers so what's going on is I found out my best friend is cutting herself and i want to help but I don't know how her other friends no but won't do anything about it and I'm worried because she's doing it more often and deeper what should I do
I think my friend is cutting herself.?
Last Thursday, my friend and I noticed all kinda of scars on our other friend's wrists. We got a little worried, and asked her why they were there. At first, she said she was cutting herself. Later, she said that that was just a joke, and it was really her cat. Later the same night, she admitted again that it was actually her cutting herself, then changed her story again and claimed it was the cat. She went back and forth between the two all night. She finally swore on her crush's life that it was her cat. So my friend and I come to school today, and notice that there are even WORSE marks on her wrists. They're not very deep, but they're very long cuts and the skin around them is really puffy. My friend and I freak out because these look like they COULD be claw marks, but they also look deliberate. Our friend refuses to tell us anything about them today. And just now, I got an email from this girl saying she'd tell my friend how the marks got there, but not me. I took this as a joke because she knows I hate it when I'm the last to know something. So I emailed her back and said that if my friend wasn't upset when she found out about the marks, then that meant that i had nothing to be worried about, because it wasn't anything serious. I got an email back that said, "You should be worried.", then she signed out. So, what do you guys think? Does it sound like she's actually cutting, or is she just going for attention? And what should I do if it's the former?
My best friend is cutting herself.?
The thing with cutting is, you can seem to have everything, the whole world at your feet and have the best life, but you can still be hurting inside. I've known people who do it for attention and I've known people who have just hoped that one cut, at least one, would be too deep and kill them. It is a problem either way and it needs to be fixed. She needs help, sit her down, tell her how great she is and how much you care for her and then express your feeling towards this. tell her that no matter how bad she thinks it doesn't look or how many times she wants to send you pictures and say "it's not so bad" it IS bad and it's hurtful to herself and the ones who care about her. It's like an addiction and she won't just STOP! She needs HELP! You need to tell her that if she won't listen to you and have your help, you WILL tell someone else and the can help her. She may not like it, but in the long run, you could very well be saving her life. Also, you should know that by her cutting herself on her legs and not her wrist, is a way of "hiding" them, which means it's getting worse and she probably has cuts all over her body that you don't even know about. They become very visible on your wrsit and people start on the legs and upper arms, sometimes the stomach even.
My Friend Cuts Herself?
Omg I used to do that too . Yeah it makes all the tension go away . And then you feel alot better , I know , sounds odd but its the sad truth . . . I started doing it because this guy broke up with me so I was all sad and depressed . My friend helped me to stop doing that sh*t . She would always tell me that it was stupid for me to do that . That one day I was gonna end up cutting into my veins . So each time I felt lonely I'd call her and then lilttle by little I was able to stop thanks to her.. Maybe you can help your friend . Tell her to not let sh*it get at her because its realy not worth it and that there are better ways out from your problems (: Hope this helped .
How do I help my friend who cuts herself? I’m the only person who knows.
I wish i knew. Even ex self-harmers like me don't really know. Just be a friend. Tell her if she goes, you’ll miss her. I saved 1 online friend by telling her that. She wasn't a cutter though. She was just going through a rough time in her life.Tell her you are really worried about her. Tell her it hurts you when she cuts. She should get the message it's not cool and it hurts you when she cuts.Tell her to draw butterflies on where she would cut and give them names of her friends. So when she doesYou could tell her to disinfect her wounds with betadine. It stings. But it will help her remember not to cut and it will prevent infection. My mom loved betadine. She was a vet (animal doctor).How far away from you is she? Ask her to please see a psychologist or doctor and her parents.Out of curiosity ask what time does she cut? Is it always at 3 am? Google search “Chinese Meridians and wake up times.” She may have pent up anger issues.Is there a specific reason she cuts? Ask a psychologist.Sometimes you can help. Sometimes you can't. Sometimes you can only postpone the inevitable and that just prolongs their emotional pain.I saved another friend just by listening to her on the phone. i had known for 7 years in real life and saved her life twice that way. But it was in vain. My friend was going through bipolar disorder depression downward spiral. She never called a 3rd time. That was rough.(。>д<)Poor girl. Forever 27. Rest in Peace, Kaori. You are missed.m(。_。)m
Help!!!! My friend is cutting herself and is suicidal!!!!!?
My friend recently told me that she cuts herself and about her past suicide attempts, and that she still wants to die. I don't know how to help her because I'm not in any of her classes anymore and hardly see her. We only like text. I really care about her and don't want to see her do this to herself! How should I help her stop cutting, and not kill herself? (Btw, we're both 15.)
What do I do when I find out my friend cuts herself?
It’s nice to see that you want help your friend, more people like you please :-)Because she self-harm it doesn’t mean she is suicidal.I have self-harmed before and I wasn’t suicidal…I did it to get the pain away from my heart to my skin instead.It made me feel good, so I continued doing it.I didn’t wanted to kill myself, since leaving my family wasn’t something I wanted.Note: I’ve been suicidal once, because of depression.So my advice to you is; don’t tell her about your experience, not yet. Instead talk to her and ask her if she wants to talk to you about it or if you can help her in someway.You don’t know why she self-harms, so maybe it’s a start to ask if she wants to tell you. With luck she talks to you and then you can take it from there.She might be suicidal, however you need to be sure. If she is, then you need to tell someone who can take action.I don’t know how old she is, but if she’s under 18, then I would tell her parents. It can become very dangerous and she can become addicted to it, if she isn’t already.It’s very unhealthy.But before telling her parents, talk to her first and see if there is anything you can do to help her.Be there for her :-)
