» Skatehead - Help on cutting for my gril friend
Hey, I'm 15, and my girl friend is 17. She has been cutting for 3 years. I meet her at the begging of school this year. In the begging it seem hard for me to deal with her doing it. But now i really care for her, and want to help her anyway I can. She cuts her arm, and some times her legs. She seem to be doing ok with it. But she seems to be doing it hard now(pushing on the skin more). She uses a razor. I know were it is in here house, but i cant take it away from her, cause it is what helps her, but hurts her at the same time. I really would like to know if anybody has an help they can give me at all. If so, please write back, or email me at Skatehead17@yahoo.com-- posted by Skatehead

I have a friend whos been cutting for a while and he stopped for a while but now hes started again and its getting pretty bad and i have been there for him and just feel like im at a dead end and dont know what to do anymore i asked him about talking to someone about it and i got this answer "i do not want to talk bout my personal problems, to anyone, there mine and mine alone, i have to deal with them, not anyone else, they aint ur affairs, and im sick of everyoen trying to convince me otherwise, my body, my life, let me live it or not live it however i want, im not gonna see a therapist, im not gonna get help, ill do it on my own, even if it leads to my self destruction!" This worries me just knowing what he could do if there is any advice out there for me please i need it.-- posted by Jimbo55

In response to teen cutting Himself posted by Jimbo55:i know how you feel, jimbo. two years ago, i saw one of my best friends cutting herself. my friends and i panicked, and told the guidence office at school. we were scared to talk to her about it, though i wish we had. she ended up unbelievably angry with us for telling, but after a few days, she realized we did the right thing. unfortunately, she continued to cut, and there was really nothing we could do about it. now she's in a treatment facility where i hope she's doing better. a year later, i started cutting myself. now that i have seen both positions, i think the best thing to do with a person who cuts is to talk to them in a safe environment where they don't feel cornered. dont force your friend to talk if he doesnt want to, but make sure he knows you're there for him. encourage him to go to a site like this one, so that he knows there are other people like him out there. i know this site is helping me a lot at least. hope this helps.

I did tell one of my really close guy freinds and like I guess i just expected him to b there for me and make me feel better. I didnt want him to tell anyone though. I think you should just try to help your freind by not telling anyone but like helping releive stress.

I think you should just try to help your freind by not telling anyone but like helping releive stress. when i cut i did it because i couldnt stop crying because i was so mad at my parents. i mean my parents dont even beleive in me and they cus at me all day long, and this is really hard when im trying to accept jesus into my heart and they are doing a ton of things Jesus dosent want. its hard sometimes but i have to stay strong ( evryone does ) tahts why i stopped cutting. aloso because my close freinds were really woried and the 10 red cuts on my arm were getting hard to hide....stay strong it will b o.k.

In response to Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Cutting help please...... posted by reesescandy9:i'm 15. i've been trying to stop cutting...it works some of the time, but eventually i'm at it again. i know i should stop, but i dont want to. up until i started cutting, i was really depressed, but i couldnt let my anger get out at all, so i'd just stop talking. i wasnt fun to be around. cutting is a way to take that sadness out. yeah, sometimes i'm more depressed than ever because of it, but it also lets me release my anger. i know its wrong, but i feel like it's better to cut and at least get my grief out in some way. i honestly cant tell if what i've just said makes sense, or if cutting has gotten the better of me and the things i'm saying sound completely wrong.

In response to Need help posted by Skatehead:hey skatehead. it's a good sign that she told you about it. that means she does want help, even if she doesn't completely admit it. make sure you keep her trust, and keep the flow of conversation open. don't yell at her for doing it or tell her that what she's doing wrong: she knows that. she probably can't help it. try to convince her to see a therapist, or even visit this site or another like it where she can get advice from other people going through the same things she is. my best friend saw my wrist one time about 5 months ago, and i know that i was a bit relieved, actually. to know that someone noticed and cared. it was hard for me to open up to her and tell her at first, but eventuallly i told her pretty much everything. not every situation is the same, but i would sugguest bringing the topic up when the time feels right, and gently asking questions about it. for me, at least, it was very difficult to bring the subject up with my friend, so i usually wait for her if i talk about it. i'm sure it's much harder for her to bring it up than me, but it's a sensative area. i hope this helps you..write back

In response to Help on cutting for my gril friend posted by Skatehead:Skatehead,
Hey I just wanted to tell you hang in there I'm in the exact situation except its my best friend and don't know what to do. I've tried to see the councelor w/ her but it only makes her even more upset. Yea it has helped but it hasn't stopped her from doing it. You should try and convince her to go see a school councelor or someone but go with her. If you need any help or find help please tell me
