What would you do if you found out your friend cuts themselves?

I had something very similar happen to me. My best friend in high school used to cut because she had family issues and it really shocked me when I found out. I'm fortunate to say that I grew up in a very loving family with both parents always there for me so it was a little hard to relate. If he grew up the way I did watching all the news reports about teen suicide/cutting/drug abuse I could see how he would act the way I did with a lot of concern. I always felt at least a little worried that one day she might take higher measures to alleviate her pain, and the thought of someone you care for committing suicide is a pretty scary thing.

It is up to you to solve your problems. I personally I think there are much better methods of getting rid of emotional pain than cutting, but I can't think of anything wrong with it from a health standpoint as long as you are in control and know what you're doing. I agree with him and say that you should seek SOME kind of outside help.

Well he is trying to help but doesn't know how and it frustrates him that's why he acts like that. So have patience with him.

I would look up with teen abuse hotline or something and talk to someone anom and find out how you should handle your mother. I went through the same thing with my father growing up, but I fixed it by fighting back and kicking his ass. Don't do that tho I don't know you situation it might make it worse. Talk to a hotline or something look it up on yahoo. Good?

why can you not get help ? call a church or something

He's mad because he cares about you and he wanted you to tell him so you would have someone to talk to and he also thought that having someone to talk to would take your mind off of cutting yourself. Obviously it didn't and I can see why he's mad at you.

I got problems to and the best way to handle it is to have someone that you can talk to and to tell someone who can help you, you don't have to take the abuse. You need to get help, if you don't it's going to affect you in the long run, one of the worst things that could happen is that you could end up with a guy who abuses you and all you'll do is sit back and take it. I won't lie and say that it'll be easy when you first tell someone because it won't be, but when it's all over and done with you'll be happy you did. PLEASE get help though, do it for yourself.
