Have you tried talking to her? Asking her how she feels everyday.
Does anyone know about it? Like your school or her parents?

Well, really she can only be helped if she want to be, no matter how much anyone else wants to help her. Open up with her, then let her do the same to you. You just have to be paitent with her, give it time. This is unless you feel like she is putting her life in danger then y9ou may want to tell your school, they will be able to give her the help that she needs, when she wants it. x

I agree with Amy. The only thing you can really do is support her and make sure she knows that if she ever needs to talk then you'll be there.

The other thing is, don't go on and on and on about her cutting. I know from personal expirience that when a friend keeps talking about you cutting and telling you you should stop all the time, it get v/ annoying and has the opposite affect.

Just make sure she knows you care.

She won't stop if she doesn't want to stop.
All you can do is support her in everything she does and keep an eye open. If it become dreadfully worse, she stops caring for her appearance, she give items away, etc. Watch out for the signs of suicide.
Should it become worse, tell her parents. I'm not kidding. I'd rather have a mad friend than a dead one.

honestly, I am in the same situation since last year and... I hate to say it but she won't change her mind, don't matter what u tell her. Just support her and make her see that she doesn't deserve such a pain, and make her know she's a great person... but, NEVER make her feel blamed, it will be worse.

Im with Amy.
Sometimes shes just not going to want to talk about it so just dont bring it up every single day.
But let her know that you are concerned about her and you care.
And when she needs a shoulder to cry on you will be there.

well make sure she know she can go to you for any problems she has and that you are there for her and supporting her. therefore she will no she can go to you for anything and she has someone to talk coz thats what self harmers need to know, that she can go to anyone. I wwould love to go to someone about my problems but there you go. If it goes to far then you need to seek help for her or maybe go to tutor teacher or a responsible adult coz they can seek help for her, thats what happened to me.
