My friend is..

[xCourxCorex]

you've gotten some good advice here so far.
you need to continue talking to your guidance counselor, and she should continue to meet with your friend. you should also talk to your friend's mom, or have your mom talk to her.
i used to cut myself. it sucks being the one that needs help and having a friend tell someone your secret, but trust me, one day when she overcomes this, she will be happy somebody tried to get her help. yes your relationship with her will probably suffer, but it's better than having her continue like this.

a similar situation happened but to a much more dangerous extent between a friend and i, regarding suicide attempts. i finally told, she got flown to a hospital to be treated... she hated me for the longest time. but if i had said nothing she literally would have died.
not that this is the same, but she needs to get help for this.


i thought for the longest time i couldn't do it. and everytime i'd stop, i'd keep a tally on how many days i had gone without cutting. i got really mad at myself everytime i'd break, but then i was even more determined to beat my old record and keep going. and my counselor was very supportive, we'd celebrate at each "milestone".

i wish you and your friend all the best in this really difficult situation.

You definately have to tell her mom. Cutting is basically an outward display of the agon that she is going through on the inside. If she doesnt get help now, her emotions will lead her to escape (also known as suicide.)

Naturally she will be really angry at you at first. But in the future she will really respect you and thank you for what you did.

But anyway, tell her mom. You gotta find a way, whether it be writing her a letter or using a pay phone at the mall.

and btw. meanwhile, you might wanna let her know that you are there for her and that if she needs to talk, you will listen. That really helps

Do that.

Is she lacking attention?
Why exactly is she doing this?

Your doing this because she's your friend.
Everyone loves their friends. No matter what they do.
If you love your friend, help her.
Do anything to save her.
If you do make her stop, she WILL thank you one day.
No matter how mad she gets at you now.
