I have a friend who told me today she wants to cut which are usually superficial when she does it but today she told me she wants to go deep with the cuts which she has never done before She handed her box cutter to a other friend last night but she still wants to do it and does not care what happens I feel she does not care if she lives or dies but she has not said that to me Do you think she needs to go to hospitial and go inpatient or wait it out

No question that if she is cutting, she needs some kind of help. As for the hospital, that really depends. If she is truly suicidal, then definitely yes, but if not, the hospital is not going to be much help.
For most people, in my experience, the hospital is a very short term crisis stabilization. They start people on meds, connect them with people for continuing care, and send them home. If those services can be provided outpatient, it's a lot less restrictive.

everything worked out for the best she is ok and does not want to cut anymore
