Hey there,

I think that one thing you can do is let your friend know that you care about her a lot and will be there to support her through things when she needs to talk. It can mean a lot to a person to know that someone cares about them and has someone to talk to when they need it. You can also urge her to speak with adult she trusts such as a guidance counselor or a teacher for even more support, or even come to us here at TeenHelp if you'd be comfortable with that, but what you shouldn't do is force her to stop right away.

I think you should also give her the link to the alternatives to self harm list that was given to you in a previous post because these are healthier, safer ways to cope with what she is going through rather than self harming.

You are a very great friend for wanting to support her through all of this, so you should be proud of yourself! Remember that if things ever get too stressful for you, you can take a step back and take a break to refocus so you don't get burnt out.

I wish you both the very best!
