My friend cuts herself and doesn't want me to tell anyone?!


Question: My friend cuts herself and doesn't want me to tell anyone!?
My friend was in the bathroom for a very long time!. I was worried about her so I walked in and she was cutting herself!. She tried to tell me she was not really cutting!. She told me that she's been cutting for 5 years and does not want to stop!. She said she hates herself and it makes her feel better!. I was so shocked!. I had no idea she was cutting herself!. She hides it very well!. I did not see a scar or cut once!. She always seemed really happy and laughed all the time!. She was crying and made me promise to never tell anyone!. I don't know what to do!. Should I tell!? She's not emoWww@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
She told you because she truths you!. I used to cut and I did not want my friend telling on me!. Cutting is not about killing yourself!. It's about feeling something else then the pain you're in!. It sounds weird I know!. I think you should let her know you're here for her if she needs someone!. She has been cutting for 5 years and needs to talk to someone about it!. She needs to workout why she started cutting!. I think you should try to help then tell someone if that's needed!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i think your friend is emo!!! but just calm down what you need to do is say to her how mch you love her and tell her if you keep doing this you may really hurt yourself and it will not make you feel any better!!!! than say if you don't stop cutting yourself in a month or so i will have to tell someone because you need help!. good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com

A friend would tell, in my opinion!. The same thinking applies if you asked if you should take the car keys away from a friend who was trying to drive while intoxicated, or if they asked you not to tell the police that their partner or parent had just beaten them up!.

They are likely to be angry at you, but can that really matter when someone is hurting or in danger!? I don't think so!.

Good for you for even thinking about it!Www@Answer-Health@Com

you need to tell someone!. that is a serious issue that needs to be addressed and your friend needs help!. she may be angry with you and may never talk to her again but think of it this way!. what if she cuts herself so badly someday that she bleeds to death!. you would feel pretty badly if you knew this and didn't get her help!.

i say run, don't walk to her parents house and tell them today!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

please tell someone about it, i mean someone that can really help her out,very soon she won't feel the pain any more and think of killing herself!.if she didn't tell you in the first place, and she died, it wont be your fault but now that you know you should help out!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Tell an adult that u know she trusts!.!. And when they confront her about it, she'll b pissed at you!. So what!?!!? You are saving life!. She'll b mad that she has to go to therapy ASAP but she'll deffinitly thank you when she is done with her sessions with whomever it is and she'll feel SO much betterWww@Answer-Health@Com

well you have all ready told someone bc all of these people know pretty soon someone you know will come accross this and read it!.!.!. but yes i would tell for her safety!. bc the next thing you know she will be injecting her self with meth! bc tht feels good to and meth is not good i had to do a report on it and it is the worst drug ever!Www@Answer-Health@Com

a true friend would help out by talking to her and tell her that you care and tell her she should seek help of a shrink if not you might not have a friend how could you live with that on your mind!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I would tell someone!. For her safety!. She could get help on how to stop, and how to feel better about her self! I honestly would tell someone!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Tell!. She may not be happy with you, but you could save her life!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You would be doing her a favor if you did!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I wish my grass was emo!. Then it would cut itself!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

NO! Don't tell!. I know that other people will tell you to tell, but I have been in your friends position and I know that I would have really hated my friend if she had told!. If your friend needs help she will get it when she is ready for it!. Until then there is no need to tell someone and have her forced into therapy!.!.!.Therapy won't help until she wants it to help her!.

You could tell her about how worried you are about her and how you think that she needs to tell someone!. (Don't pester about it though!.!.!.) Tell her the dangers in what she is doing!. If she has been doing it for 5 years then she is probably pretty safe as for the cleanliness so she probably won't get an infection so no need to really worry about that!. Tell her that you love her and that it breaks your heart to see her in this sort of emotional pain!. She needs to know now more than ever that someone cares for her safety!.

Good luck!. I'm sure your friend will be OK!. I really hope that it works out and that she will do the right thing and seek help herself!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well I used to cut and I really hated all those stupid therapy sessions!. What I would do is sit her down for a while and show her all the negatives to her cutting and why it can feel good!. If it may seem like a burden to you, I would tell a trusted adult that may have experience in handeling the situation!. If it goes too far, then call a counselor or tell your friend's parents about it!. People cut to feel pain (it's a relief from life's emotional problems or she might feel numb and cutting is a way to feel something, for me the blood coming out made it seem like the stress was going away)!.
You could email me if you want me to explain more into the problems of it!.

Her reasons are probably personal problems!. Though if she keeps doing it, it isn't a good thing!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
