MoonFisher answered Thursday September 16 2004, 3:46 pm: Cutting and wanting to cut is understandable. There has been either a good deal of pain in your life or a lack of feelings in general. Cutting makes you feel alive and in control. I know it's very hard to face, but cutting is not healthy. It's hypocritical, however, for people to force you to get help when what you are doing is not as harmful as smoking, unprotected sex, and other "bad" activities that are more socially acceptable. The people who want to help you are doing it because they care about you. You are an individual, capeable of making your own decisions, but you should to listen to what the people who care about you say. You don't have to take their advice. But at least give it a listen. Just the fact that you are posting this question here tells me that you know something is wrong. Do what you know is right for you. [ MoonFisher's advice column | Ask MoonFisher A Question ]

I'm not sure why you don't want to stop, but hopefully you can see that cutting is something that a person does in response to problems. Problems can be worked on and worked out. It seems to me that cutting is not a solution, it's merely an unhelpful outlet when someone doesn't know how to deal with their feelings or problems in an appropriate way that doesn't involve causing bodily harm.
Please take this opportunity to come clean about your cutting and be open to receiving help. There is no shame in not knowing how to deal with something on your own. Everyone needs outside help sometimes. Everyone. Good luck to you.

My friend use to be one and i when i talked to her and told her how much it hurt me to see her do that to herself she changed her ways. Im not one to judge you but your probably doing it cause you have alot of troubles in your life and pain but cut yourself so you have a way to pin point it out. like thats where my pain is coming from. I think that if your guidance counselor knows you should definatly get help from her cuase not only are you hurting yourself your hurting the people around you as well.If your counselor doesnt know i think you should get some assianstance with things going on in your life at the moment.
I hope i was some what of a help. good luck with everything and remember what you do affects others as well! [ sita's advice column | Ask sita A Question ]

You could bleed to death or hurt yourself really bad. I know i don't want you to die because of cutting yourself. Talk to your Guidance Couselor and work things out with yourself it will help you alot and it will make you feel better to get things that are bothering you out in the open.
ThisIsntHighSchool answered Thursday September 16 2004, 2:57 pm: Hmm...well I was a formwe cutter and I know how sucky all that shit is, but you need to stop. Don't deny it. I know cutting helps relieve stress and stuff but you need to figure out another, less harmful way to do it. If you use cutting to make sure your still real and can feel wear a rubberband around your wrist and snap it whenever you need too. Hope I helped.
girdy_goo15 answered Thursday September 16 2004, 2:56 pm: don't deny it. you have a serious problem and you do need help. but it can be hard. especially if you feel that's the only thing you can control. but just tell someone so you can get help. if you don't you can die from that.
