You need to explain to her that she needs help, because self-harm is dangerous. You need to explain to her that you are not responsible for her actions, and that she cannot use the threat of self-harm as a means to keep you in the relationship with her (I'm making an assumption here, she may not have done or do that).
If you are in highschool and you are really worried - go and talk to a school councellor. It may be in her best interests to get adults involved with her health. She might totally lie to them or get mad at you, but at least you know that you tried to help her. You could even suggest to her that she tries that herself, and make it known that if she doesn't then you will. I would recommend a school councellor instead of her parents though...because her family may or may not be a supportive one.
You do not have to stay in a relationship because the other person might hurt themselves. When you break up with her though... try to be kind about it, and point out that she will meet someone who will care for her even more than you did and that she deserves that kind of loving relationship. Admit that you know you are not the best fit for her (this is trying to make things a bit more positive I suppose).

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
