    The cutting isnt about you or how it makes you feel. Itshow SHE feels. Its how She handles whatever pain she feels on the inside. She must find a way to address it. You can be there and be supportive but laying a guilt trip on her about how bad she makes you feel will only compound the issue. You can tell how much you care, and tell her if she wants to talk when she feels like cutting you will listen. her self esteem is low. Support her. Listen like a real friend and be ready for a late nite call- and answer with no hesitation.Follow through and be a friend.
