I have a friend who does it...he needs help.?

I applaud you for telling your school counselor. Your friend NEEDS HELP!! Tell his parents/guardians so they can help him at home as well. Just keep trying to help any way you can..TALK,TALK,TALK to anyone that will listen that can help this child. Make sure he knows he is worthy as a human and praise him on days he makes it with out cutting. You are doing the right thing by telling. Good luck, May God be with you and your friend!
