Seek medical attention as soon as possible. Get a washcloth or something else to cover it and apply and hold pressure on it. Call 911 and try to stay calm. Please be safe, you have a huge community ready and willing to talk to you.

First thing first, look for help. Don't feel ashamed to reach for help from a loved one. I'm sure any people that loves you wouldn't mind helping you.

If you think you've cut too deep, the first priority is to calm yourself down. Panicking can only make it worse. Next you absolutely must call 911, your life may be in danger. You have to let go of all your fears of being caught or ridiculed, your safety is what's importsnt here.

I go to the ER and tell them that I'm at risk of myself and I need help. It's scary but I think it can also help me prevent this :)

Keep pressure on the wound and keep calm. Some small wounds can just have a unexpected amount of blood, depending on where you cut . Keep washing it, and you'll be able to inspect it more clearly. If you think you may have cut a arterie it's extremely important you keep strong pressure on it to keep blood in and call someone immediately. You may begin to feel dizzy and unwell if you cut to deep, and that's when you have to call a doctor.

It's very important that you put a pressure on the wound to quickly stop the bleeding, and get to the hospital so they can help you and stitch you up! Please take care of yourself!

It depends how serious you think the cut is. If it's gushing blood and you're feeling a little woozy, try to tie something (like rubber bands/string) tightly around your arm/ body part where the blood is flowing FROM. Then, get someone who can fix it up. The most important part is, after that, to go and see a counselor or therapist.

The first thing to do is stop the bleeding or cover it up with bandages. Next call 911 or tell an adult.
