This is a serious problem. Suicide is the #11 biggest killer in the US. It is not to be taken lightly.
Cutting is usually a sign of experiencing emotional deadness. The cutting though inducing pain, is a
feeling and those that cut usually try to replace emotional feelings with physical feelings like pain
in an attempt to feel something.
I would suggest you go to your local police and ask their advice. Your friend needs counseling but
it won't help if he takes his life first. The first step may be to secure his safety even if it is against
his will which the police can assist you in doing. Once his safety is secure, counselors will be able
to help him.
These steps sound extreme but once a person starts cutting, suicide is usually the next step. If
extreme measures are not taken, suicide will most likely happen unless something else intervenes
in his life. I would suggest you talk to the police and they usually know those that can help.
Ask any counselor, once cutting starts, the time clock is ticking. Cutting is a serious indicator.
