Of course it seems that she's turning down every option we give her. Now, I'm just assuming from the other posts that you're under 18, and you've said you live with your parents. I know, being 16 myself, it doesn't seem like any idea is the right idea because someone will misunderstand, be insulted, offended or whatever. But sometimes you need to think about yourself, all right to be selfish for a minute, and say something. If you don't say something for yourself, someone else always can, and in my experience it's gotten uglier that way than if I would've done something myself. I would suggest going to your parents and trying to explain to them how you're feeling, or go with a friend so it's easier to talk, cause most times parents don't understand. Tell them how you've been feeling, don't *have* to tell them about cutting, but would be wise to not keep secrets. Or you could just talk to a friend, or someone around here to get things off your mind if you aren't comfortable with your parents. There's other online support resources around here online, like a British site..something about Samaritans.

Now, if you do talk to your parents, and you really want help, ask them. If you think they'll take it hard, or blame themselves, they can talk to T also. That's how it went when I was there. Mom and I would have a half hour each, sometimes parents want to hear things from "someone their own age."

Just hope you don't think I'm talking out of my ***, I don't usually post, so sorry. Just one case I thought I could help
