Ok.I know the sticky on self-harm and depression is at the top, but what do you do if someone you care for a lot wants to stop self harming, but cant physically stop themselves anymore? and they cant see doctor because their parents will find out? Because im in this position with someone i care for more than anything, and he cant seem to stop, no matter what he tries, and hes asked me to help him.
If anyone has any suggestions, it would be much appreciated.
Thank You.

the only time they are able to break that confidence is if you are considered a serious danger,and they fear you might commit suicide, or harm others.
self-harm is very addictive, and it's very hard to stop on you own. i would really urge your friend to seek professional help.
Would it really be the end of the world if their parents found out? You are in a difficult position because you may have to break a confidence.
