I love helping people out and I feel great giving advice to people out there I don't even know. It gives me great personal satisfaction knowing that the answers I give are pretty damn good. I have a cheery personality and I like art and music. I am not religious, but have a clear view of spirituality. I will never grow up completely, I clearly remember what it's like to be a teen, but now I have a much better perspective on how to get through it all because let me tell you, I have BEEN through it all. Glad to help any way I can...

Hey, Courtney. I am 23 now, and when I was like 15-17 I was cutting too. I loved that feeling after being so angry about something and no one to talk to about it with I was like, "hey I know what to do!" I had a special spot, I wouldn't cut anyplace else but at the top of my left arm by my shoulder. Whenever someone saw scrapings there they would be like, what happened, a cat scratch ya? I would say something like, "I was mad about something and there was no one there to rescue me." Let me tell you, you are so not alone in this. It is extremely common for teens to do this. It does not by any means make it okay, but in high school a lot of my friends did it too. This one girl did it in the middle of class so bad, there was blood everywhere, it was horrible. That was a severe case. Luckily I was not a severe case, it was just a babit for me, and unfortunately I enjoyed it, and hopefully you are not a severe case either. What I think the reason may be that teens feel the need to do this is they are exploring ways to deal with pain and frustration. Many people over look all the troubles and pains that are involved in the teenage years, all the stresses, the expectations, the learning, and developing and exploring who you are and what you want to be...it's crazy. People wonder why teens always have to act in revenge or cause trouble. I guess what I want to say is that you are definately not the only one, there are millions like you, and there are many ways to help yourself stop. Find what you like to do (other than cutting) and do it. Write poetry. Play an instrument. Bake cookies. Just use positive ways to deal with anger instead. The results in life are much more rewarding that way, believe me. Take that negative energy and make something great out of it. It's easy if you try. Good luck! You'll be fine, just trust yourself.
