You cannot make your friend stop his or her behavior!. Most people hurt themselves because of emotional pain, so it is important for you to understand that your friend does not feel well!. Self-harm is NEVER attention-seeking behavior and is not a 'cry for help'!. Most people who self-harm does not want other people to know they do it, intead they do it privately and intend to keep it private!. Don't force your friend to open up to you about their feelings and their behavior if they don't want to!. this can destroy your friendship and make your friend feel even worse!. The best thing you can do is let your friend know you love them and you will always be there (if you are willing)!. Don't yell at your firend or get angry with them, even if it makes you upset!. Right now, your friend needs you more than anyone, and is important to keep his or her trust alive!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
first find out why they are cutting then ask them if they want help with it
if they do start with a reward system like if they go 2 months without cutting they get dinner or a movie on you be a suport system rather than yell just talk and find out what makes them cutWww@Answer-Health@Com

Do try to stop the behavior on your own, let them know they can get through this, negotiate and provide them with an alternative to cutting, like soaking hands in a big bowl of ice water, sliding the ice cube across the wrists!.If it gets to be too much for you to handle, get to a professional!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
They are having emotional problems I assume!. Let them know you care about them, just don't pressure them and give them too much attention!. That is what they want!. Let them know that they are just doing it for attention in a passive way!. Make them feel stupid for doing it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
You need to tell some one!. Your friend needs help!. Most likely he/she doesn't want to kill them self, but has a lot of emotional pain!. Its a release, a way to let pain out in a physical way!. Your friend is suffering from a form of depression and needs help!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
