How to stop my friend from cutting?

One of my bestfriends has gotten into cutting. I’m really worried about her. When I ask her about it she says “I just do it for fun” and she wont explain to me. I know that people don’t cut for fun. I think shes angry or depressed and doesn’t want to talk to me about it.

I am just wondering, is there even such thing as people that just cut for fun? What can I do to help her stop? I’m really worried about her.

Answer #1

cutting aint fun its far from it, I do it adn I hate it but its the way I cope with things to stop me doing anything that is worst than cutting! let her know that you are there for her, you could ask her to think about seeing some one , I personaly dont think seeing a professinl works but for others it does and if some one is cutting its worth seeing if it does! she may seem like that she has the perfect life but deep down she could be going through a lot of pain that no one else can see! xxXxx

Answer #2

ok!! well she is totally fine. I don’t know what she could worry about. good greats, nice fmaily, great boyfriend, no respondsiblities. nothing, and yet she’s cutting. she’s never lied to me before so why now?

Answer #3

People just go through stages of depression. They may have a lot, but in their mind, they feel upset about things. Sometimes people come off as happy people, but inside they aren’t. This is why she should speak to a proffesional, because they will help her let her feelings out.

eskimo2008, Cutting and fun - don’t go together! There is emotions going on, she just may not realise it, I assure you that its happening though. People don’t just cut themselves for fun. She obviously doesn’t want to talk about it. The best you can do right now is get your friend to talk to a counsellor before things go to far. -ѕтәpн♥

I’m going to re-word your question for you so someone doesn’t lock it, because it sounds like your cutting yourself but you aren’t.

Answer #5

actually she might just be doing it for fun I’d do it for fun, I have peirced myself just because it feels good, I love giving blood because it feels good,oh I love getting bit for fun and because it feels good, pain is kinda a good feeling for me, maybe she’s the same way, don’t jump to conclusions so fast
