why?
why do people cut themselves because i have a friend that does and its obvious. my friend always blames it on "the cat" but cat scratches don't make crazy grid patterns.

People often cut because they are in pain, not because they can't take care of "their petty little problems". I'm probably the only one up here who has been fighting with cutting. I've been working on stopping, and so far it's worked. Ok anyways. Cutting is a way to release pain that we feel, though it's very unhealthy, it does work for that moment. After so long, the cuts go deeper and deeper as it gets to where we are immune to the little ones. The best thing to do for your friend is to just be there for this person, listen to them, and be their support. Most of the time, that is all a person needs. Sometimes, they need help to understand how to express their feelings in a healthier way, not by cutting. I hope I actually helped. :) Oh and one more thing, don't criticize people who cut, especially if you know nothing about it, you don't know how they feel inside. That goes to the one with the smart alick answer.

well some ppl think it takes away pain when rilly it doesnt..it adds it to ur body and it can do damage and scar u for ur life..maybe shes goin thru tough stuff she never mentions to u..talk to her..ask her if she wants to talk to u y'know? juss support her! lolz

im not a cutter myself, and i too ask questions like these. sometimes a person faces loads of pressure on her shoulders and she cant handle it. i dont like my friend to be cutting herself. its not nice to see scars all over her arm. it truly pains me to see my friend actually cutting herself just becoz she need to let her anger out. they cannot control their anger and feel the urge to cut themselves. inflicting these cuts make them feel "good", and to them its not pain at all. its not they are of a different breed or wadsoever, but we gotta understand life is really tough and sometimes life is simple unfair to them in many ways. as a friend, u should talk to her and maybe try to understand her current situation. she might need a listening ear and shoulder to lean on now at this current period and state of mind. being there for her is really important. i hope everything works out. keep informed if theres any other questions. hoped i helped. good luck! -Rei

people cut them self because they have so much happening to them (bad things) so much mental pain is building up in side them and they just need it to stop to go away so they can be free of it they think that cutting can free them of it they think that it makes them feel betta because they forget about all the mental pain and u think about the phycial pain...this usually happens with depression...sometimes this is an act of attaion and a very bad one...this is something that needs to be stopped if you are very worried abut u friend doing this tell her to maybe try writting in a journal so she doesnt have to deal with it so much or maybe like scribbaling a lot on paper that helps me when i get agree about those kinds of things happening

Usally people cut themselves because they are depressed or they feel like they dont get enough attention and do it for attention . So maybe you should try to talk to your friend about it because that is serious and if its really bad then they can be but in a mental institution.

People cut themselves for a lot of reasons.
To put it in the simplest of terms, they do it to make themselves feel better. It's actually not a whole lot different than a person who smokes or drinks to relieve anxiety.
Cutting is an emotional and physical solution to pain (although in by no means a good one). People who cut think they are displacing their emotional pain to a physical pain. This is a mental thing. But cutting aslo affects your body's physical state. When you're body is hurt it releases extra adrenaline and endorphines, similar to exercise. Endorphines, are quite simply you're body's own happy drug. In this sense, cutting actually does have a physical affect on your happiness.
However there are many better ways to relieve stress and pain than drinking, smoking, and especially cutting.
You're friend probably isn't psychotic, or a freak, or any worse of a person than most people. She does however need help to find a better way to channel her hurt. Perhaps she would like painting, writing, or maybe even taking up a sport.

I know exactly why..ppl cut becaause it tends to make them feel better about themselves if they've had a rough time..if u notice a friend that starts to wear baggy clothes..and trying to avoid their problems..notify someone those are serious signs of cutting..

Sometimes people get so stressed out and have way too much going on or people who are depressed cut. Its kind of because they cant make sence of theyr feelings or they dont know how to describe it so they want physical proof. Being able to cut and say this is what hurts right here. Its difficult to explain. Some want to die, some want to live but just realive stres.

i dunno i guess people do it to get their minds off of the things that are stressing them out at the time..i seriously hate it when people do it cuz i dont like cuts or anything having to do with flesh lol i think its nasty buttttt people who do it need help...tell ur friend ur there for her whenever she needs you!

People cut themselves because they are either depressed or think that cutting themselves will solve all the problems in their life. Cutting doesn't do that, it makes everything worse. Your friend needs to get help or talk to a person who was once a cutter. Hope I helped :)

hey well some people have strong emotions and feel not to live but change there minds when it is to late and end up with cuts my friend used to cut her self everyday cuase of what was happening in her life but never seriously hurt her self, but it is a dangoures habit. But then others who have been doin it for a while get addicted to pain and just cut so they feel good. Even though it is bad it is just as hard to stop as biten your nails.

hey i really dont know why people cut..ive never been one. Ppl who cut are usually depressed and when they cut i hear people say it makes them feel better...like their pain is relewased. Its horrible to get into and if i were you i would really try to get your friend help!
best of luck
