Is she cutting?!


Question:

Is she cutting?

I think one of my close friends is cutting herself. I don't know what she could be unhappy about with her life, but I think she is. I know she's not emo, she's a real girly girl actually, but I think she might be doing it for attention. I really want to help her and I'm worried about her. Help?

And also, she wears shorts but when I ask about the cuts she says either her dog did it or she ran into a tree or tripped on her bike or something. But they dont look like it, it looks like she did it with scissors or something.


Answers:

alot of people are very good at masking their unhappiness (especially their home life) .......talk to her but don't try to pry to much , she will push away if you ask too many questions on that (cutting)subject.....instead notice certain things...does she wear long sleeves or pants all the time (most cutters, that i have seen, cut their legs or arms sometimes the stomach)? If you say something regarding cutting does she shrink back or follow your lead and talk about the topic. If shes doing it for attention then ...why keep it under wraps???? most times when people cut it is a release of all that ales them (for the moment)
