the media tell us to talk to tell a old person but which is probably a good idea but i dont know

Cutting its not a pretty thing, but if she decided to be a pussy and do it, let her be...
I would just tell them a couple of times how wrong it is, and all the harm it can do to you... if they don't do anything, I'll just leave them be. Sooner or later they will figure that I was right

Gee thanks Miguel. So I guess Im a pussy too? That is a terrible thing to say.

[mRojas2000]

I never said that everyone who cutted was a pussy...

I think the cutting is not healthy. But if they want to do it let them do it, it is their choice
FF out.

Knowingly letting someone cut themself when you can help them is terrible. If there is someone you can tell, like a school counselor or adult you trust - then do it. She probably feels really alone and upset, just standing by watching is not helpful at all.

So yes, it's her choice but if you just let her do it, you're a bad friend.

i cant tell an adult or she will be sooo mad at me, i think i sould try to help her the most by trying to make sure she stops. i would never just not do anything!!!

[schrei jess]

What is more important?

Telling an adult who can help her stop this bad (VERY BAD) habit she has,
or
Not telling an adult, keeping your friend on good terms with you while she continues to scar herself up and one day possibly going too deep?

Just think of it that way. You need to tell an adult.

Ok, I'm sorry for everything I just said on this thread... I just re read the first post and I didn't notice the big almost bold word... JOKE...
Cutting is not a joke... I think your friend is a little silly by cutting because her boyfriend broke up with her... I can understand her having a heartache, and feeling really low and depressed, but cutting it maybe a little way too off the line... she's got to understand that cutting is bad and not healthy... she's got to understand that teenagers relationships will never last a life!! most teenagers aren't even mature enough to say when they feel in love and when not...
If you really wanna help her, get an adult AS SOON AS POSSIBLE before its too late... she might hate you, start teasing you, and then tell you you're a little girl because you went crying to an adult and stuff... don't even bother listening to her... just remember that you did the right thing, and that she's fine now!! sooner or later she will go up to you and tell you that you saver her life :)

OMG wtf are you guys saying?! If I was you I would hug her and explain to her that there are people out there that still love her.

[schrei jess]

OMG we are giving good advice!

Yes let her know you care about her, by all means. But if you REALLY care for her, you'll get her help.

Why didn't I think of that... you're SMART!!

Try to be nice to her and maybe invite her over for dinner. If you are really a good friend then u'll tell a teacher u can trust. that is wat happened to my friend
