Grow up little man.
"Ridiculous" 😉
Okay kiddo's, self mutilation or self injury is to be taken seriously. Show your friend you care about her, talk to her, be there for her. She does NOT need parenting. It doesnt matter how deep of shallow she cuts, the fact that she cuts is bad enough. By depth you cannot see how severe the emotional problems are.
Even kids who say "Hi, my name is .... and I cut myself, look!" do have a serious problem, though those handle a different approach. I am not talking about those self injurers.
Its not weird that you dont really know what to do, lots professional people still don't know how to deal with it. If you have any questions or whatever, PM me or post here, I've cut myself for over years, I think I can answer alot of your questions.
No. Cutters know what they do. You know where your veins are; it happened very rarely that someone cuts a vein by accident. Most people self mutilate to prevent suicide, to feel alive again, to feel other things than wanting to die. Also, most cutters clean their wounds to prevent infection. Driving a car and smoking are much more dangerous for that matter.
Suicide happens more amongst self injurers, logically because you are very unhappy when you do that. My own self mutilation started with a failed suicide attempt. Luckily I lived through it 🙂

My friend has a problem. I just found out she takes a pair of scissors and cuts her arms whenever shes mad to punish herself. My friends and i try to stop her but she just keeps on doing it. We've talked to her but this has become a habit. She hurts herself cuz shes miserable and cuz shes angry. I love my friend and i tried to make her feel better. I just found out this afternoon at my other friend's party. Her best friends and i have tried to get her to stop but she just wont! I dont know what else to do. So please help me. Is there any possible ay i can stop her from doing this in the future? I love her, shes one of my best friend. So is there any way i can persuade her not to?

her parents probably know dont they? I mean after living with your parents in the same house, at the same dinner table, and etc. she can't be hiding her wrists forever unless she wears sleeves 24/7
there are 2 possibilities
1-they dont know
2-they dont care
i would bet (and pray) for 1
