I think it's important to understand the reason why your friend is cutting It's important to tell this person if you think she is ready to hear this from you that you are concerned and would like to understand her and help her and that you will not JUDGE her. Cutting is a form of pain they might express their anger through this method as well. Not every cutter is the same and when they are angry it releases the anger however it's mainly caused by deep pain. It's much easier for a cutter to cut because to them they can visibly see the blood and release their pain. The more you bring up the issue of her cutting the more she will hide her scars and simply disappear from any social scene.
It's important to research in your area what is available to help her out. Counselling is very helpful and depending on the age there are hot lines to talk if she isn't ready. A person who cut's needs to trust a person and that isn't always easy but there is help for her.

Hope this helps
