Exercising is good.
Writing and new hobbies.
I take all my anger out by getting tattoos and piercings but I realize most of the people in this guild are youngins so.
Basically, If you keep yourself busy with other things you dont think of doing it.

Some things to distract are talking to people, reading, drawing/painting, going for a jog, playing an instrument, ect.
One thing that actually works quite well in place of cutting is snapping a rubber band against your wrist. But this doesn't work for everyone, so don't be upset if it doesn't work for your friend.

well as a cutter myself its very hard to stop but u can do it if u stick to them and and give them alternatives like taking a rubber band and instead of cutting themselves just when they feel the urge have them take the rubber band and pull it and snap it on there arm or wrist same pain no cut no death

Find out what makes them sad.
Eliminate what makes them sad. Or help to do so.
I also suggest everything that has been mentioned, except for punching. I find it best to give advice based on what I would want if I was depressed, so don't do anything that would be annoying...

Hobbies and distractions are nice as long as you remember issues don't go away just because you spend a while ignoring them.
I always draw all over my arms and legs. Makes you look like an idiot if you're not wearing sleeves but I always felt at least a bit of accomplishment by leaving a mark in pen.

So you know, sing a long and its uplifting. ^^

Find the reason, if any and try your best to help them over come it.
I think this will help more then a distraction, but if you can't fix the problem, you could try a distraction till you can fix the problem or it fixes it's self.
