Hey i didnt cut,but hurt myself in other ways.Ive stoppede since.What did this boy do?

Oh that could do it, how could he do that to her!something like that drived me to hurting myself and he told me just to deal and stop or else he’ll never have anything to do with her.but its hurting her alot,shes probably got depressive too?

Ouch. I never cut, but my good friend did. I don’t believe he ever saw help, but he has since stopped. The only thing we could do for him (We didn’t know his parents, we had no one to tell)was to stand by him and make him feel better. Just stay with her, don’t leave her. He also cut because he lost a girlfriend. It really hit him hard. he only stopped because he got over it.

We also made sure he never had anything to use while he was at school. He used everything from broken protractors to IDs. Just make sure there’s nothing she could use around.

If she’s embarrassed about swimming, try a wet suit. It would be a bit hot, but it would cover the arms and legs.

That’s always frustrating. Don’t go digging through her room, but if she’s wearing short sleeves or something, just glance to check if anything’s fresh. If nothing is, you don’t have to worry about checking for razors that aren’t there.
