While scary, the best thing to do when you cut too deep is to seek emergency attention in order to prevent serious problems such as infection.

go to the hospital, to prevent infection and get the cut dealt with, apply pressure to lessen blood loss, dont be embarrassed about going to the hospital they will have seen it all before, hundreds of times.

You tell someone right away. Cutting in itself is bad for you and can lead to permanent damage but if you think that you have cut too deep call an an turbulence or tell a parent as soon as possible.

If you've cut too deep make sure you call an ambulance straight away and tell someone what is going on so you can get help in order to stop

GO TO THE HOSPITAL!!! - I know that might sound scary, but it's extremely important that your wound receives medical attention immediately. If you can't get to the hospital by yourself, phone an ambulance and explain what's happened. If there's someone with you nearby, it would be beneficial to tell them what's happened. As for in the moment- clean the wound with water and put something over it and apply pressure- (although I'm not a doctor, so I wouldn't know what to do exactly). Good Luck!
