My best friend's daughter (14) has been cutting herself. It seems so many young kids are doing this. What are your thoughts about it?

They aren't getting enough attention from your best friend (mom or dad). And not just negative attention which is what they get from this but they need encouragement and someone to take an interest in the things they value in their life or it won't stop. Reccomend a counselor in a social meeting ie someoen to come to her home or talk to her at school. Peer counseling works great too because it's someone their age helping them but this should only be coupled with posotive attention and interest from the parents.
