Cutting oneself is usually a cry for help. Your friend wants people to take notice of her feelings, there is something she dislikes about herself/her life and she feels she wants to talk to someone.
As a friend, all you can do is talk to her about her feelings - show her you care.
Also, give her the number of childline (0800 1111). There is counsellors on the phone 24 hours a day 7 days a week, for free (And the name "Childline" won't appear on her phonebill for her parents to see). Sometimes it is easier for people to talk to strangers about their problems and often this helps - it will also show her that as a friend you care about her well-being.
