Burn the books!. My friend did this with her depression and her friends committing suicide, so her and I would go to a library, someplace quiet, and put in our earphones, it was nice casue we were together as friends, then we would write unitl we both were done, then found a place to burn them and did so!. Once we even asked the fire dept to light them on fire, which was alot of fun!.

I really like the first persons answer on this!. If that is not good maybe you can talk her into going to the guidance counselor at school!. That is why they are there!. Also maybe you and her can find an after school activity that relieves stress!. Running is really good!. Also yoga!. Good Luck!. All you can do is be there for her and try to support her the best you can!. If she does start cutting though, you have to tell someone!. She could really hurt herself or even die!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
definitely be there for her when she needs it, like a shoulder to cry on!. be more aware of what she does and if it comes to the point of when she does do it, i would tell an adult!. because once its started and she gets addicted, even though she might not want to die, she can cut too deep or even the wrong place and then you would have to live with the fact that you knew and you didn't do anything about it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
She needs professional help!. Cutting is a control issue like anorexia!. She can't control what is going on around her but she can control this!. Cutting makes the person feel better, the physical pain takes away from all the other pain!.
