hey, i am a cutter myself, n it is a serious safety hazard, u have to do everything in ur power, to convince her that it isnt the right thing to do, becoz it isnt

or him lol sorry

no I'm pretty sure it is a girl. Hey Silent Death, I don't know much about convincing people not to cut, but I know that with all problems there are several ways to go about solving it. I mean, you could just stop her from cutting somehow, or you should try to make her not depressed. I know the second option seems even harder than the first, but I think the effects would last longer and in the long run take up less energy.

ur right it is a girl. I know what u mean when u said "try to make her not depressed". i'm getting over depression as i said and i had a really good friend help me through that. i'm not overly convicing at the best of times. i may as well try what i can to help i mean if i don't theres no gain and i might lose a close friend. thanks for ur advice.
