I have a cut on my finger. my friends say it's a paper cut. i don't know it's really deep how do i tell?

A paper cut is just a small slice and not deep. If you have bleeding with swelling and pain, than you want to prevent infection. If deep than a suture may be needed, so go to an urgent care center for treatment.
