My friend, she... cuts herself. She's not Christian, and she needs some help. I have talked to her about Christ and his love for everyone, but she was somewhat of an Atheist, and didn't beleive in God.

Please, pray for her? Her name is Taylor, and please pray that she comes to see Christ's love and healing. Thanks!

Try to get her to take out her frustrations in a beneficial way. Make her draw how she feels, or have her do something involving controlled chaos. As in, not busting up a neighbor's car, but like, expressionist painting or something. Something to let the feelings out without violence.

Thanks ^^ And would you guys out there please pray for her? That she would stop cutting and come see Christ's incredible Love? Oh... I've prayed for awhile, but nothing huge has happened... I love her, and she does it because she feels lonely and... It just hurts me to know she does this. Please, pray for her... Please...~

Doing. Also, you might wanna check out this thread. It might just tell you what you already know about self-injury, but it is well thought out and might give some insight 3nodding

Praying will not make her stop. Nor will it turn her to "The LORD" ok? Yes, I an understand praying to whatever have you to help her see, but it will not do a damn thing. Ask her why she cuts, talk to her as a FRIEND, not someone who is PREACHING. Though sometimes videos, prayer, friend to friend talk doesn't work much. Sometimes an objective third party to talk to her about it can help. But yeah, praying won't do anything. Talk to her in a heart to heart way. See what is causing her to cut. Usually those who cut do it for attention or they have a huge deep hurt they can't chase away.

I preach rarely. Last night I felt compelled to tell her more about Christ... And yes, praying will do something, perhaps not right away, but it'll help.

And I am supportive of her. I talk to her about it, and... It's just sad, I guess, to know that a good friend feels that way about herself I guess~

Well, pray all you want, your choice. It just won't do anything. And well, sometimes it is really hard for someone to open up. Though that is why they say patience is a virtue. Though, she may need some professional help, and I usually offer that bit as last resort. Though, sometimes it can help. If her parents know of the cutting and they haven't taken her for a psych evaluation, then well, thats sad. If they don't know, well, thats sad too. Worst they could do is toss her in a mental hospital, which, to be honest, are not as bad as they are made out to be.

Her whole family knows, her parents are divorced, and they kinda' neglect her, I suppose... But, you guys are right, I need to support her, and help her~ And I have been doing that, but she started again after not doing it for 4 months... Kinda' scary...
