my friend is doing those things. She has told me that she has cut herself before and then stopped. Now she is doing it again. i tell her to stop then she says i don't understand her life. But really i'm just like her. Anyways, she is also not eating and putting a lot of exuses such as "i don't have any money" or "i'm not hungry". Also she always brings up that her parents are mean to her and her brother goes to jail a lot. i know that she has had some bumpy times in her life but she brings it up way to much. Really i think she is just an attention grabber. But i just want her to shut up about it because i don't think she is cutting herself and is a descrase to people like me. But besides that, her life is fine and she just needs to stop asking for attention. WHAT DO I DO!!?
 
Seems like she his having a difficult time coping with her stress in her life. Her cutting is a coping mechanism.

I would actually privately make a phone call or an appointment with her school guidance councilor or school psychologist. Tell them what you know about your friend.

If someone can keep an eye on her during the school year. Sometimes when we have concerns at home, it will effect our school grades.

Just keep your meeting with your guidance councilor or school psychologist private. Don't tell her, until you can discuss with the school staff member what you can do with proper instructions.
 
Talk to her about her problems and maybe try to convince her to try therapy.
 
get away from her behavior. She has some issues she needs to work in her own life. If she is not willing to take your advice to change and calm down, then exit out of her pathway and go on with your life. It's just like for example: when you are trying to plant a sunflower and water it and it begins to grow. Then someone starts pulling pieces of the sunflower apart while it is trying to grow. That is limiting the growth of the sunflower. So don't be like the sunflower getting your life pulled apart and out of order like hers. You keep being the sunflower to her, with your life, or with someone else.
