hiya, firstly well done for trying to help your friend.
But, my personal opinion as a (hopefully nearly ex) self harmer is that threatening to tell her dad doesnt seem to be the best idea, she needs someone to try and understand and to talk to instead. But everyones different, and you obviously want to help her. have you talked to her and asked her what you could help? she needs someone on her side realy, because she's obviously upsett about somthing, or a combination of things.
there is a reason she hasnt told her dad, either he wouldnt understand or she is not emotionaly ready for him to know, and you have to respect this.
theres also a reason she cant stop, and untill she sorts that out its probably her way of coping. this doesnt make it right, i apreachiate that, but it sometimes helps to understand the position she is in.
the best thing you can do is be there for her, and i know you are worried, (and this cannot be 100% certian) but she is probably a lot safer than you think, and not going to die, as you put.
hope this helps a bit.
love and hugs,
