Talk to a trusted adult about your concerns about your friend and your own experience with cutting. Some examples of adults who can help you include your parents, a teacher, the school counselor or nurse, a doctor, a therapist, or a grown up that you feel comfortable sharing with. There are also hotlines available that you can call to get advice, particularly if you or someone you know has been cutting. The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255) has experience talking with people about cutting and they are available 24 hours a day. They can also give you resources in your community about how to get help. No matter what though, if you or your friend are ever in danger of being hurt (either by yourself or someone else), you need to get help. If it is an emergency, call 911.

So I was at a birthday party and my friend (Let’s call her “S”) was there too. I saw she had cuts on the inside of her thighs but she didn’t notice me looking. It’s obvious that those are cutting scars. We arnt like best friends or anything bc she never really stayed but I really want to help her but I have a feeling she won’t come out and speak to me and it might be awkward since we’re only like 12. I’ve cut once before and know what it feels like but I really want to help S but don’t know how. Any help?
