    Worried and confused.
    Hey I'm 15 years old and I have a problem. I have this 1 friend that is a cutter and she almost killed herself 3 times in the past year. She has a friend who is also a cutter and has also attempted suicide 3 times in the past year. As fishy as it sounds they did not decide upon it together, but I'm worried about them. Neither of them have ever gotten help 4 it and I think they're both getting out of control. I myself am also a self injurer, but I am ,most of the time, in control of it. I am not addicted 2 it;however, they are. I think they need help, but they don't seem 2 think that it is as bad as it seems. Please give me some advice on what 2 do.

    I think all of you need to speak to some one soon... I am really at a loss for words and I don't know what to say because in these cases you have to be careful with your choice of words... so all I am going to say is that you guys should really seek help and if you can not reevaluate yourself and figure out why you feel you need to harm yourself then maybe a counselor can help... please take care and be safe and talk to and look out for your friends stay safe...

    I was a cutter myself, but it has been 6 months for me. I figured out why I was doing it. No one can make a person stop.I have had family members take all blades from my home to try and stop me and I always found a way/I did it so much that I had gotten several infections from it. Once you are a cutter you will always be one. This is a very hard thing to control. If it was me I would talk to my friends about what is hurting them. That is why a person cuts. They hurt inside so they need to hurt outside. It becomes an outlet for our pain. I have learnt other ways to let mine out. You and your friend all have this in common and you all can help each other. Make a deal with each other. When you feel like cutting call on each other and talk them through it. You have to set your mind that it no longer has control of you , but you have control of it. I know neither of you 3 want to tell on the other. So HELP each other. If this doesn't work than you need to get some counseling . I cut for several years and one day I said no more. That I will control this and it doesn't have any power over me anymore. PLEASE PLEASE HELP EACH OTHER
