Today we were on the oval at school and it was hot, so my friend took her jumper off and i saw cuts all over her wrist.

My first reaction was just to grab her arm coz i was like omg, i asked her what happened but she ignored me coz there was a group of ppl around us. Then when we were walking to the lockers she pulled me aside and said did u see it and i said yea and she told me not to tell any1. She had been quite all day and this morning she told us she had a big fight with her mum. what should i do?

Tell someone in the school that you trust. She needs help….either help to learn how to stop being a cutter or else help becuase of the things that may be going on at home to cause her to want to cut

not telling someone will only enable hr to keep hurting herself possibly more

well dont take her advice and not tell anyone. thats the worst thing you could do, because it leaves her to keep hurting herself.
what you need to do is get adults involved. trained adults. her mother or father is the first port of call, other than that someone you trust at your school like a teacher or guidance councelor.
you need to hand this over to someone who can deal with it properly. thats what a good friend would do. you can help support her, but you cant cure her or help her to help herself really, and obviously she doesnt want anyone to know whats wrong and wont tell anyone, so now that youve seen you have an opportunity to get her some help.
good luck :)

don’t take who’s advice cuz i said by not telling someone she will only enable (letting) her friend keep hurting herself or worse so its pretty much the same thing as your advice with less detail

Really tell her to get some help. In the long run she will thank you for it. She might be upset with you at first, but that is something that she needs to deal with and talk to someone about. It is not a normal thing and people want to help. I am getting help right now and I wish someone would have made me go sooner. Thank God I am not very serious about it, but if your friend gets bad, it could cost her her life. I don’t mean to scare you but it is serious. Maybe you can take her the first time that she needs to go so that she is with a friend.

be there for her… ask her what’s wrong. If she tell you it means that she trusts you. Listen, she needs your help. Good luck
