Oh sweety! I'm not a parent, and I don't know about the "cutting" thing...though I have heard of it. My suggestion? Go see a professional yourself. Ask anyone where you might get help in helping your daughter with this. Keep asking till you get an answer that can help you both. You need guidance hun. You need to know what path to take and what course of action to follow. This is serious stuff...and even though I am not a professional, I can tell you it is a symptom of something deeper going on in your daughter. Don't guess or asume that you know! You need help to help her!

I hope that the other replies to this thread are more helpful...but till then, please ask for help!
