I would tell her parents or a confidential help center. Just be prepared it may alter, if not eliminate your friendship. But in the end that's what a friendship should be, watching out for one another. Even when the ending may not be the best for yourself. She needs help!

Please tell a guidance counselor. That's being a great friend! Do not tell her parents if she is being abused by them.

Perhaps before you tackle your friend on the subject, or tell her parents or teacher, you should try to understand why people do it. And unfortunately, there are as many reasons as people. However, one thing they all seem to have in common is that once they start, they find the habit very difficult to stop, which suggests an addiction to the physical pain/emotional pain transference. Pain releases endorphin's in the brain which cause a rush or a high. Some get addicted to tattoos or piercings, which most people find acceptable. However, cutting is a form of self mutilation that is considered socially unacceptable and is very misunderstood. I suggest if you want to approach your friend sensitively about the subject, you need to have a good look at all the cutter help sites and blogs (and there are loads) out there.

Tell her parents after talking to her if she doesn't listen... Help her as best you can and in any way possible. It helps to know you have a true friend.
