Should I blaim myself?

People have told me that when people are around other people that cut, they are more likely to turn to cutting when things get too hard also....I used to cut and my best friend started a short time after I did...Did I infulence her to cut and how can I help her to stop?

Have you stopped?

If you have, well then show her how things are better.
If you haven't maybe try? It might have a positive affect on both your lifes

yes u gave her the idea, although not really ur fault coz yer it was her tht did it u just put the idea in2 her head and doomed her for life, nothing 2 worry about lmao...

LMAO!!!..srry I just thought that was funny, but I agree.

i don't think it's that you influeced her. i mean, i've been cutting for 2 years. i started out of curiousity becuase a friend of mine was doing it. now my best friend and another good friend of mine are cutting. i don't really have an answer as to how to help them. just talk to them. when you know they're upset about something, try to make them smile and let them know that you care about them.

really, although you had done it before, you didn't tell her that she should do it. maybe she had problems too, and she saw how you got rid of them and so she tried it too. but no matter what, she controlled what she did. not you. take it easy, and talk it over with her.
