    im really worried about my friend, she's got the taste for cutting herself-she doesn't even have real big problems, and when she does its totally overblown.... i know that she cut herself twice for the pure enjoyment of it, i'm sick of looking at them, i feel like she just wants attention even tho she denies it; i dont like being around someone like that but she's my friend and im afraid if i tell her that i dont like being around an attention seeker she'll go and cut herself more(shes really unstable) how can i deal with this?

    ~ definately don't abandon her. she needs you right now...after all, what are friends for?? if you are a true friend, you will stick around to help her through this.
    theres this song called "Cut" by Plum
    it talks about cutting and getting back in touch with the Lord. give it a try..i think it could help
    God Bless!!

    When I started dating my boyfriend, he also cut himself. He did it for no reason, and trust me, he isn't an attention seeker. I just told him I didn't feel comfortable with it, and wish he would stop. He did. Some people just do it for no absolute reasons. I agree with you with the attention seeking part. Some people just have nothing better to do...don't know why the hell they would do that. But, the only thing you can do is tell her you don't feel comfortable with it. Ask why she does it, and just tell her straight you don't like seeing and knowing that. I hope this helps.

    You really need to be there for her trust me...your right when you say that she'll cut more if you leave her...I'm a cutter and i told my friend that i do...she just argued with me saying that i have no reason to be depressed and cut but she didn't listen...you need to be there for your friend for whatever reason she cuts...for attention or not...tried to tell her that she should stop because you care about her....but don't push her...she needs to do it on her own...just be there for her and talk to her if she needs to let some things out...listen her and don't judge to quickly...I know i would feel better if I had a friend I could go to and talk without them argueing with me...well that's what I think...hope it helps...good luck
