Jessica,

Cutting is a way to transfer emotional pain into physical pain. It is a very serious issue and your friend REALLY needs to seek help. You did the RIGHT thing by telling her parents...she may never understand why you did it, but I do. If that helps at all. You were worried about her and care, and that's all the matters, OK?

You should look on the internet for more information...maybe even give it to your friend if you can.

If you need to chat, I'm here.
