try to find the right moment. tell them in a private setting. tell them that you need a listening ear and that don't want to be judged or criticized but you would be willing to answer questions. just say want you want to say. i think it's important to emphasize why you do it and what you want from them. i mean, do you want them to get help for you? do you just want a friend? they will probably want to know if you want to stop. you have to be prepared how you want to answer these questions. if your non-suicidal, you want to emphasize this as well. it's not the end of your life. your using it to cope and continue living. props to you for wanted to tell someone. good luck. i wish i could form the words sometimes...i just can't.

What I did to find out if someone was 'okay' with cutting: I would try and lead a conversation onto the topic. I help at the library with my friend, and we came across the book Cut(Good book by the way). I told her what it was about, and we talked about the subject. So I lead her on, asking how she would react if someone she knew cut themselves. Most people would think it's just a question. If they're fine with it and you trust them, then quietly say that you've done it. That's how I would tell them.
