Write a note to a teacher you trust and leave it on their desk. That way you can stay anonymous. Or you could get someone to deliver it to the teacher's office if they have one.
You need to tell someone as she only has to slip and hit an artery and then she'll be in serious trouble. Or if she gets worse then she might do something more dramatic.
Tell someone, I remember being at that age and having friends who self harmed and it took them years to get over it on their own.
If you decide that you can't tell and want to risk the fact that she'll do something worse then get back close to her and talk to her about her problems.
Good Luck!! xx

hun, you have to tell someone. I totally understand not wanting to feel like a traitor, so I would either write an anonymous note or make an anonymous call to your school principal or school councelor. it's very important to tell someone!

 If she's your ex-bf anyways, you should tell. I would suggest talking to her about why she cuts, but I assume that you don't talk to people who aren't your friends ne more.
