Keep pressure on the wound, alert someone close by and if needed, contact emergency services. Please don't keep it to yourself

I've dealt with this problem before. You need to apply pressure to the cut to try and stop the bleeding. Make sure to clean the blood away before it dries because that doesn't help. Then if it stops bleeding good job! Clean it and put a bandaid on it but if it doesn't then get some help from an adult immediately!! It could be life threatening if you cut too close to a vein! Hope this helps:)

Get some help. Go to an adult, or if it keeps bleeding and its a heavy flow you should call 911. Apply pressure to it, and dont change the bandage

Go to the hospital. Cutting too deep can result in major blood loss and possibly death. It's scary, but it's what you need to do.

If you think you've cut too deep get rags or anything to put pressure, hold for about 20 minutes (don't look) if it's gapping open, gently close wound with index finger and thumb if bleeding doesn't stop after 5 to 10 minutes of pressure, call 911.

Put a bandage over it as best you can and add to it - do not remove the layers. Then go to a hospital! You need to make sure you didn't cut anything vital and if it's deep enough, you may need stitches.
