You tell a teacher/mum/responsible adult. Yes, do it. Even if she says no.
Tell her you are worried about her. Ask her whats wrong.
Don't try to sort it out yourself. She is obvisously got a problem.
Tell someone.
I am talking from experiance.

Wrong=bad
Bad=Emergency
Ok. You get the point.
You are right to be frightened for your friend. What YOU must do is tell an adult imeddiatly. Talk to your parents, a teacher, or an aunt/uncle or another adult you trust. Your friend needs professinal help. She needs your care and support too. But be prepared. Instead of being happy that your concerned, your friend may be upset or angry. Be patient with your friend, and stand by her through this rough time. Your doing the right thing. One day, when she is well again and has stopped cutting, your friend will see that you took action because you cared.

My friend was depressed (this friend didn't cut), and I didn't know what to do. It was hard. And you must prepare your self to tell somebody, even if she's asked you not to. This may well save her life. And whilst she might not like you telling somebody, it might be the only option you have. If you tell the school counsellor, see if you can get her not to mention you told. Also tell a trusted parent.
Cutting is serious. Whilst some people like to label people who cut 'emo' and other names, it really is a serious problem.

Good luck, I hope your friend recovers!

The best thing you can do is Tell.No matter what she says,you have to tell!It will never be sorted out if an adult isn't envolved in the situation.

Cutting/Self harm is a very seriouse matter and you freind needs urgent help.
People Self harm because they are deppressed or feel guilty for something they have done which can often lead to suicide,You need to tell her mum or a teacher urgently.

U should tell an adult 2 help personally. Or you should talk to her and calm her down.

Where does deppression hurt? Everywhere."
Tell. Now. it is the BEST thing you could ever do for her. You jst have to. Because if you don't... all those deep wounds she makes, each one could become infected, and some infections are worse than others...
and deppression is an issue. It's not an emotion, it's a disease. So please tell. In her own way... she NEEDS you to tell. You may be her only hope.

She's goin' through a depressed stage. You should tell someone, or try to figure out what's her problem. It might not really be anything serious...maybe she wanted to try out skateboarding and really...uh...sucks at it. (No offense.)
Tell someone you trust, or try to figure out what she's doing.
I went through something like that once. It was freaky...I lost a lot of my friends over that.
Anyways, best of luck.
