First and foremost be sure to thank them for trusting you enough to tell you. Admitting it is the first step to stopping it, and it probably means that they are ready to do something about it.

Secondly, ask them what they want to do about it and how you can help. Remember that sometimes all you can really do is be there for them to talk to when they need it and wait until they are ready to get help. You can't do it for them, no matter how much you may want to.

Tell them that you don't like that they are doing this but that it doesn't change the way you feel for the person. A person who cuts tends to feel very alone, do what you can to reassure them that they are not alone in this. In fact cutting is amazingly common especially among teens.

Remember cutting isn't always a prelude to suicide. Treat it like an addiction. Although, if you have reason to believe that the person is planning suicide call the suicide hot line (it's very easy to remember) 1-800-SUICIDE.

Cutting is as real an addiction as Alcoholism, and just as damaging to everyone involved, and just like alcoholism there is help available for those who are ready to accept it.
