Question: Please please help me!.?
my friend told me she cut the side of her wrist today not very deep or enough to kill herself but if it was only once could it hurt her badly.?Health Question & Answer
Answers:
a teacher, school counselor, someone who cares needs to know. what about her parents.? that cut can't hurt her badly but the ones to come is she doesn't get help could.Health Question & Answer
If she was Ok when she told you this about the one she did today, it will not hurt her immediately.
However, it may get infected, and it will leave a scar.
also, people cut themselves as a form of punishment or relief from stress. If she has done it once, she may do it again and it may be too deep to save her. Your friend may have done this in the past and had not told anyone. By telling you - she is crying out for help.
Please tell her parents and a school counselor. Some adult needs to know what she has done so they can help prevent her from doing this again.
This is a mental disorder that needs treatment ASAP.Health Question & Answer

Listen if your friend cut herself she needs help ASAP. Shes obviously reaching out for help if she is telling you about it or leaving it out in the open. Cutters usually hide their wounds because of the shamefulness they feel about the self inflicted wounds. Either that or she just wants attention. If your young i would tell a parent or counselor because if her cutting becomes habit-forming it could be life threatening. Just tell her that your going to be there for her no matter what and that cutting herself is not the way to go about dealing with her pain. Just be there for her and be her friend.Health Question & Answer
You just never know whether an infection is going to occur, as a result. A previous answer follows: View the suggestions on what to do about self harming, in section 16, at http://www.ezy-build.net.nz/~shaneris and contact them, when you feel the need to self harm/cut. Use one of the alternatives shown, such as snapping a rubber band against your wrist, or holding an ice cube. There is much information, and useful weblinks in the website: far too much to fit in the allowable space here. Seek therapy, to help you address the actual cause of those problems, rather than using an inappropriate method of treating the symptoms, which others have found, doesn't work, in the longer term, and that leaves behind the extra problem of scarring to deal with, then. There is also a selection of treatments for scarring shown. So, are you aware of why you self harm.?
The general reasons given are: depression (see section 2, at ezy build; page R first, then, if female; page V, young women's depression, & teen.? depression; eventually the rest); if male; male depression; anger (see section 4; page C first), attention seeking, or boredom (suggestions for both are in section 16). Stress is addressed in section 42, at ezy build; view the COMPREHENSIVE POST on page i, first, then the rest of that section. Consider taking up amateur abstract, impressionist, or surrealist art, clay modelling, designing and/or making fashion, or jewellery. Journalling those thoughts, and feelings, poetry, or story writing are some more options. No-one has to see them, but you may well surprise yourself at how good you become, with experience. Even if not, and you are totally dissatisfied with every single effort, it will still have served its purpose. Use that emotional energy, and allow it expression, through an activity other than self harm. Teen resources; check out section 13; on pages A, K & T.Health Question & Answer

you should be there for her and talk to her when she is feeling depressed. once she starts cutting, it kinda gets hard to stop. every little thing that goes wrong just makes you wanna resort to cutting. trust me i've been there. i just recently stopped and it is really hard so you should tell someone before it progresses. tell her that every time she gets the urge to cut, to call you and talk about what's going on and why she wants to do it and be there for her. that's what my friend does and it really helps.
and the scars will last so the more she cuts the worst the scars will be and they will just be a long lasting reminder of her pain.Health Question & Answer

Well, its not Good at all!
It can get infected, and it really depends how deep it is. I don't it will Hurt her, but it can make her sick if she doesnt clean it. It won't kill her.
She should wash it out with soap, or your Hydrenperoxide, and then get a Fresh bandaid, with neosporian, and use that.
She shouldnt do that ever again, on purpose, it can lead to Further damages, like scars, to much loss of blood, feeling sick, and She could become addicted.Health Question & Answer

You're probably going to get angry at me for saying this, but she probably did it for shock value.
Maybe she feels as if people aren't giving her the love and attention that she deserves.
When I was a little younger, I didn't feel like anyone really cared about me, so I did it to make people feel sorry for me.
It didn't work, my friends and family just thought that I was clinically insane.
In the long run, it's just ignorance and stupidity. (No offense, I've cut before too)
She should be alright as long as she doesn't hit an artery.Health Question & Answer

no, but if she continues the distructive path of self harm...that could.
Try and have her get help...she needs to see a counselor. Obviously there is something going on in her life in which she feels she has no control over. That is partially why people do cut.
But you are absolutly right in that it only takes one wrong cut and she could sever the main artery in her wrist and she could bleed out. I've seen it happen before and it is the most terrifying thing in the world.
also, she must realize that those scars she creates will be with her the rest of her life...and a lot of times it rather impedes when trying to apply for a job.
Help her get help. Good luck to the both of you!Health Question & Answer

usually when you start cutting there not bad. but after a while they start to get deeper cause the little ones are not enough. it depends on how deep she cut if she cut the nerves or tendons or even a vein or artery. she probably just did a scratch which wont do much. just help her shes get worse they always do. just like meHealth Question & Answer
No Cutting your wrist releases these things which release stress and pain. There is 99.9% chance that your friend wont be hurt. Although cutting your wrist's becomes a habit. If your friend is stressed and cuts her wrist's please tell her that if she has to do it than only once every week and a half k.?Health Question & Answer
Potentially it could, if it got infected or something. Chances are, no.
Self harming can be dangerous in itself though, and you should keep an eye on her. It could have been a cry for help... if she continues to self harm you should pull some tough love on her and tell someone who can get her some help.
Good luck :-)Health Question & Answer
