Be Blessed.

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity (Love), I am become as a sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vauneth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seekth not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never faileth.

And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is (Love) charity.  

Allofalley, Your friend really needs help. If you can talk to him try to talk him into getting help. The person that I worry about is you. If the cuts are getting worst, that means that he is getting worst. Please be careful because he could escalate from hurting himself to hurting others (You). You have a tough decision to make. Either you can set back and do nothing, putting his life and possibly yours in jeopardy or you can tell an adult and get your friend the help that he needs. Be very careful because he is a ticking time bomb ready to go off. Do not get into any confrontations with him......Be Blessed

Turn off the television and teach your children how to think.

Yes, I do agree with Tippy. But I also have to say that you may have to end up breaking your promise to him; I know you don't want to do that but it may come down to his health and safety - and that is more important than your promise to keep his secret. You could perhaps encourage him to call (or you could call) a Crisis Hotline; those are anonymous calls - they will not do anything except listen. Good wishes to you both.
