Help!

Ok, so it's not me that cuts but my friend here, he cuts.. I don't know why he just does.. What can I do to help him stop?

The problem is you can't. They have to be willing to get help before you try to lash out help.

True, C&D, but also, if someone is cutting, something must be troubling them. Try talking to your friend, see if he'll tell you why he's cutting or what's troubling him in general. Then, maybe you can help by being there for him (you probably already are), and talking things out. Perhaps you might be able to dissuade him from cutting.

They are right, If he doesn't want to stop then you can't make him.
Just be there for him to chat to if he wants. Spend time with him and show him that he can still enjoy life (cinema, bowling, having a laugh etc). All of this will help him and enable you to try to help him reduce the frequency with which he cuts.

Is he receiving any help professionally?

Try talking to him, make attempts to get him to stop. If his cuts are really bad (long, deep, etc.) get help IMMEDIATELY, he probably will die. If he's cutting, there is most likely a problem, try to get to the root.
