I just found out that one of my friends is bullemic and cuts. I really care about them and I don't wnat them to hurt themselves. Does anyone have any ideas about how I can talk to them about this?

1st ask them why tehy do those things 2nd give them reasons why it's bad 3rd tell them how mutch it kills you to see them act this way.

First I think its important for you to get her attention. Get the point across that you really care and want her to stop. that this hurts you too.

try to help her by talking and try to find the source of her problem, but dont always focus on it because trust me she thinking about it constently. Do fun things and show her that you care also tell her that the next time she wants to cut to call you. I went through the same thing (well cutting i could never be balimic) and i told three people 2 of them abondend me because they didnt want to deal with me which just made it worse, but the next time i cut i called the third friend (the one that didnt leave) crying and he calmed me down and has helped me with my depresion ever since (hes my BF now).

Yea I am trying to do that. I'm trying to be really positive and encouraging. She knows that she can alwyas talk to me and stuff.
Thanks for posting this though, because it really does help. If you have any more advice or comments or anything I'd really appreciate it.
