How do yew help a cutter?
There is nothing you can do to make her stop. The best thing for you to do is to let someone you trust know about the situation and then just be there for her. Self injury often becomes a psychological addiction and you can't "just stop", it takes time and trust to find other ways to cope. My advice is to just be there for her, don't give up on her, ok? She needs support through this and you constantly telling her not to cut won't help her at all. Be there to listen to her, gently tell her other ways to cope, just generally be a good friend. She will probably need to start seeing a therapist, although not necessarily. Self injurty often is just a cover for an even more serious condition like depression, so if she gets put on some medication it might help her stop. But really it will be up to her. Remind her (gently) to use clean blades and clean out the cut afterwards if she really feels she needs to cut.
Reply:My friend use to cut and she was really depressed. I asked her why and she said it was because she was lonely and since she was the new kid well i helped her out by being friends with her and even though i knew she cut her self i just wanted her to know that ill be there when she needs a friend.So my advice to you is be there when she needs you and stand by her, you cant always help her if she doesn't want help.if worse comes to worse tell an adult.Good luck.

Reply:Well, sit her down and tell her the truth. She isn`t easing her pain, she`s making it worst. Moreover tell her to see a phsyicatrist**, or a counselor.
Reply:Tell her you're there for her. Don't tell her to go to a therapist, that'll just piss her off. Be encouraging and a good friend, let her know how much you don't like what she does (but don't be like "I don't like what you do" say it more subtly like "I don't know what I'd do without you"). She will need a professional but don't TELL her that.
Reply:Talk to her. Neither of you can come to harm by talking. She needs help and you could be that help. Some of my friends are rape vics. others are attemted suicides, or both. When they need help, feeling depressed or worthless, I talk to them, lift their spirits, tell them how pretty they are, how much of a good person they are. Thats all you can do: talk. And let her know you are there for her. Provide a shoulder to cry on. Try to find out why she does it: it may help her to get it off her chest.





I hope I helped.
Reply:She needs professional help. She knows there's a possibility she could cut too deep - it's part of the attraction. I used to be a cutter, and I still have many, many scars on my body from hurting myself. If you're really concerned, tell a teacher or the girl's parents - she needs to get into counseling. You could talk to her until you're blue in the face, but she's not going to listen because to her, no one else understands. It's great of you to want to help her, but you may have to rat her out to do that. If you just tell her to seek help she won't. Her parents are going to have to be involved.
Reply:When I used to cut myself It was because I couldn't deal with things in my life. I switched to burning myself so I could relieve my emotional pain.





It sounds like she needs a friend and maybe some intervention. Their could be something going on at home, she could feel rejected, There are so many variables.





Befriend her and see what's going on. If you do befriend her though, be genuine. She may need some intervention.
