Just be a friend to him. Show him that you're there for him no matter what, and that you love him unconditionally. You may even want to tell his parents about how he's feeling so they know what's going on and they can get him help.
Depression is a tough road, but both of you can manage it. If it gets too servere, maybe you should go see a doctor and they may start you on Prozack or Zoloft. The medication is all trial-and-error, so it may take awhile for them to find something that helps you really well.
Also, don't keep secrets. If he tells you that he cut himself and he wants you not to say anything about it to anybody go tell his parents. Keeping things like that is one of the worse things you can do. And same with you. You don't ask him to keep secrets either.
Throw the blade away. It actually makes everything worse. Sure, it helps get your mind off the emotional pain, but later on the emotional pain will come back along with the pain of guilt, which will make everything worse. Both you and your friend should find healthy ways to deal with your depression. Like, talk to someone, journal, dancing, laughing, pillow fights.... There's a ton of things you can do to help you cope with depression that aren't self-mutilating.
If you need someone else to talk to, I'm here. 3nodding I've been going through depression for the past two years now. So, I know what it's like.

I know it's bad to keep secrets, but giving someone your trust and them ratting you out gets you off on the bad foot. I went to a school counselor last year and she said whatever I told her she wouldn't repeat and the first thing she did was call my parents. I hate that woman. And the whole other forms of stress relief doesn't always work. Sometimes it does, but I still want to hurt myself. I don't know what to do. cry
