just a half an hour ago i went into my daughter Kasey's room to try and find my camera witch i let her barrow. Kasey was fast asleep with her Ipod on and she was wearing a sleeveless shirt on and i noticed she had scars all over her arm and a few horrible bleeding cuts. IN shock i turned around trying to figure it out i put my hands on her desk trying to process what just happened but when i glanced down i found a sharpener without a razor in it and after a minuet or two i found the razor covered in blood. Now i am terribly shocked and i don't know what to do! Please help me she wont tell me i know she wont. I don't know if i should confront her or what someone please help me!
Sorry my spelling and grammer suck but i am in a hurry!

He destroyed my life...

I used to cut, and so did my boyfriend.
It could be for lots of different reasons.
She may not want to talk to you because she may feel that you will judge her.

When I used to cut, it was a relief to me.
It was as if watching the blood come from me was a release of all the bad feelings I had.
I only stopped when I realised how much my cutting was affecting other people.
It was hard, but in the end I stopped.

If she is feeling upset and doesn't know how to handle it, she needs to know that it is okay to let out her emotions..

She may be feeling angry, but not know how to let go of her anger.. In which case she might like learning a form of fighting; judo, kung-fu. Things like that.
Most likely she will be angry and frustrated though. I think it is a stage alot of teens go through and most just don't know how to handle it.

She could feel very insecure too.
1: Like she doesn't have control of her life.
2: She may not like the way she looks.
Being female, both of those are very likely.

If she is concerned about the way she looks, she needs to kow what she will do to her body if she keeps cutting and being self-destructive.

Night time is also a bad time for people that do not feel good.
She may need company at night so that she willl not have so much time to her thoughts.
It will be her thoughts that make her want to hurt herself.
Try to spend time with her, just don't pressure her, that will only make her push you away.

Hm, also, don't spoil her by buying her lots of stuff, I don't expect you will, but she won't benifit from it.

She should try and do something creative and constructive, instead of being destructive.

One last thing, make sure that your medications and stuff are in a safe place that she can't get to.
Women are alot more inclined to taking overdoses.
[Not meaning to worry you, but she may have a bad night.]

((I know it is not the best way to do things, but if she still doesn't respond to you after a while, get her drunk. I know you may not agree with it, but it will make her forget herself and blurt things out to you. It always worked with me. But also, be prepared that some things might come out that will really upset either her or you.))

I will check this thread regularly, or if you need anything else, PM me.
