Anais	You're best bet is to tell an adult. Talk to your counselor in school and let them know what's happening. Your friend needs help. You can help her by being supportive, and listening to her when she needs someone to talk to. Other than helping her get help and being there for her, there's nothing else you can do, but please know you're a great friend and she's lucky to have you. I hope everything works out!

kantriella	although she knows she should stop, you cannot make someone stop cutting themselves. that is up to the person doing it. when someone cuts themselves its because their emotional pain becomes to great that they feel they cannot handle it, so they cut themselves as a way to bring the pain to the surface and they feel they have control again. if she really wants to stop i would recommend counsling or some kind of program to help find the underlying cause of why she cuts herself. once the underlying cause is found, then she can start to heal and once she realizes why she cuts herself she will be able to stop doing it. she will feel in control of her emotional life if she knows what is causing the emotional pain and then it wont have to lead to physical pain.

Smiley	OMG! she needs help ASAP. I mean she has issues more than you alone could hadle. I am aware of people doing that and for them it is a pleasure to feel pain. Deep rooted emotional issues. They all have a chance for a new beginning of life without hurting themselfves in that way. God Bless you are there to care and see that is not normal. Best of luck in getting her to get help my friend! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

ChrissyLicious	Cutting herself doesnt mean she is tryin to kill herself. its a way of releasing her anger or agressions, she need to see a therapist and her doctor! This is an unheathy way of coping with a much larger issue. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Bunigurl	tell her to talk to an adult that she trusts about it,(maybe an aunt, school counselor, your mom) and they will get her some psychiatric help Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Ashley h	most likely its for attention so just act like you care if she still does it then just ignore her Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Manny	you should notify some adult and go seek a professional. Using some confrontation may only worsen the matter and help injures become more frequent. I know someone like that, believe me get help before letting her know. And do it fast.. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Phozzie	let her know that your there for her no matter what. Let her know that you want her to stop before she ends up killing herself. If she still does it and tells you about it, then she must not want your help. Try going to a really great teacher who understands what it's like to have problems. They might take things slower and give her a chance to change on her own with there help Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Blondie	um... pray for her..... call a mental hospital or something!!!!! that is flippin crazy! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Confused...friend731	talk to her, be there for her. show her there are others who care for her, since she obviously ain't gettin that kind of love from home. It was a hard habit to kick and it takes awhile, but once the stop they will feel a lot better. Just give them as much support as you can, but if it gets too out of hand (like they are cuttin to the point they're bleedin to death) then contact a professional they have medicine for things like this. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

witchrhizu	You can't stop her. That's the part that really is frustrating. You can let her know you're concerned, but she needs to find a counselor. If things are that bad for her at home, she may want to investigate living with another family member. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Not Allie	Talk to her, be there for her, and find the number to a help line that she can call. If her parents are really that bad, then she probably won't be able to get them to take her to a therapist, but that really would be the best course of action- try asking a school counselor to talk to her parents, and also to the girl. Believe me, the best thing to do is to make sure she has a friend to talk to and a professional to talk to. Yesterday it was one year since the last time I cut myself, and that's how I get through the tough times. :) Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Orlandobloom502	dont know Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Keep.It.Simple	She does it bc her family doesnt like her. The best thing you can do is help her by getting her counseling and being the best friend anyone can have. Let her know you are there for her 24/7. It's great you feel so strongly about her to ask this. Best! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
