Caught 13 year old sister with cuts on arm

A while back my parents found cuts on my younger sisters arms, they screamed at her for it and demanded she stopped, blaming her for having done it.
She denied it saying its from an injury and things got really heated.

A while later (like a few months) i (17) see she has cuts on her upper thigh. I didnt say anything.

Then we got into an argument and i stupidly called out her cutting as an argument point (incredibly rude and horrible i know), and she got really mad (obviously).

Now i cant bring up her cutting at all to her to help or advice, because I’ve lost all trust in her ever since i made fun of her.

I honestly dont know what to do, if i tell my parents abt it they’ll just scream at her and fight her. If i try talk it never works.

Im definitely a terrible sister, im terrible at talking to people about their struggles. Shes had a lot of trouble with friends at school, got into a bad friend group of chavvy rude girls, i think shes super stressed about it. Who knows? She just stays in her room all day on her phone or studying, from 9am to midnight.

Any advice would really help me out :( ive tried hard to get her out the house but never works, and parents are terrible to her.
