There are a ton of ways to relieve stress besides cutting yourself or engaging in other destructive behaviors. I'll give you a few suggestions, but I would recommend getting professional help if none of them work for you.
Exercise is a proven stress reliever. Difficult exercise requires a lot of focus and determination, so your mind doesn't have as much time to wander. Also, when you're tired afterwords, it's easier to relax.
Reading is another proven stress reliever. Try to read a book or magazine and not something on the computer. The lights in a computer stimulate your brain and can stress you out more.
Most repetitive motions also relax you. Things like mowing the lawn, washing dishes, or cutting vegetables can relax you a lot.
Try to spend at least a little time outside every day. Even if you're just sitting in your lawn or on a park bench, being cooped up inside all day can drive you stir crazy.
Lastly, try to get away from using electronics excessively. By this, I mean anything with a screen (computer, tv, smart phone, ipad, etc.) Like I said earlier, the bright lights have been shown to stimulate your brain and send it into overdrive mode.
I know a lot of these things don't sound like much fun, and at first they may actually increase your stress. Any time you drastically change your lifestyle, stress is bound to happen. After a week or so, it should become part of your routine and you should feel less stressed out. Give it a try, and see if you don't feel better.
As always, if you can't find a good solution, talking to a teacher, counselor, parent, or therapist may help you find something that works for you.
Good luck, and please stop cutting. :(
