help me stop my teen from cutting herself.

praying wont do anything if you want her to stop you need to help her, not get an invisible man to help obviously she has some kind of problems weather its stupid things like you grounded her, wont let her have a boyfreind, everyone else is doing it, she was peer pressured into it, ect or more seriouse, like beleives its the best way to deal with her problems, likes pain, wanst to do it, or if its from something like abuse, rape,e ct either way you cant help her unless you know why shes doing it and finding out is never easy try talking to her, being freindly, open and helpful and try to get her to talk about anything she might be going through or any problems she has if shes a typical teen though and says you dont understand then possibly runs off it might be best to take her to a counsellor or a hospital or at least alert her friends so they can try to help her before it gets worse

If she doesn’t know you know she cuts herself then you shouldn’t hide sharp things. It’ll just get her worried and wound up and she’ll think that you’re angry with her. Also, there’s always something we can do to hurt ourselves in different ways so that really makes no difference.

Try to talk to her and it’ll help her see things more clearly and what she should do to make things right. Sometimes we need to figure it out for ourselves.

I stopped because my friends were worried about me. Even if you can’t get to the bottom of the problem, try and help her to find a reason to stop and then you can go from there.

Also, it may take time for her to realise who it’s hurting. It’s unlikely she’ll do major damage to herself so it’s probably best to give her time to think it over for herself knowing that she has your support.

hi I cut used to cut myself so I hope I can help.don’t hide sharp things from her(it might make her desperate).when she talks to you listen for anything that makes her sad and try to involve her in some physical work.it’s a good way to spend energy as well as clear the mind.if she is interested in taking classes for anything like dance,art,etc give her the chance.when she’s down don’t nag even if she has done anything wrong,try to make her happy.if she’s a loner give her space,don’t crowd her.if she has a best friend she might be able to talk to her.tell her to write her feelings and when she’s done tear it. you DON’T READ IT.if she tells you her reasons dont tell her to promise you to stop cutting or don’t keep saying you understand her problems when you don’t.just listen.she’ll stop only when she is ready and realizes that pain doesn’t help-u might have to wait for a while.

Good Luck to both of u…

dont hide anything sharp from her it will make her feel abnormal trust me because I used to do it and my mum emptied my room and I just felt even worse and like my mum didnt love me and I wasnt trusted with anything but just keep tellin her that you love her no matter what and make sure she has someone to talk to and dont be offended if she doesnt talk to you she might just find it easier to talk to a counseller or a teacher or someone else and then when she lets everything out to them/you she will calm down gd luck and I know its not easy for you because I found my 9 year old sis doin it a month after I stopped it : / x

taking her to the psychologist- first step, as stated above- IDENTIFY HER TRIGGERS. hiding the sharp objects really won’t stop it- when I wanted to cut- I would find something that would do the job- the world is full of sharp objects. follow the psychologists advice about anything sharp. keeping her mind occupied will work wonders- keep her away from any intoxicating substance- my alcoholism and cutting went hand in hand, I couldn’t stop cutting until I became sober.

well im christain so my first anwer would be that you pray for your teen.then talk to him or her.show your concern.if that dsnt help go take her 2 a therapist or a counselor or just someone who he or she is very open with

uuuggghhh… dont pray for her thats not gunna solve anything I have NEVER had an answered prayer … be there for her all the time do things with her keep her active make her life really good and happy (plus hide sharp objects)… no shaving no scissors nothing sharp. dont give her time to cut herself tell her things to make her feel good about herself it should work
