ilovejojo703 answered Tuesday November 23 2004, 4:40 pm: cutting is serious...... but it depends on where u cut u will die if u hit a vein . most of the time people cut because they are depressed or sad about somethin but some people do it for attention because they are sick....

rainbowcherrie answered Tuesday November 23 2004, 12:02 pm: Well I kind of cut but I think the reasons why people do it vary. It's mostly to let out anger or because you feel that it's your fault. Sometimes people do it for attention, a cry for help kind of thing. I don't think you always have the goal of killing yourself though.

peaches_n_cream552 answered Tuesday November 23 2004, 11:47 am: My best friend and I used to do it and it is a really scarry thing. Have you ever tried to tell anyone about it because you can get help. And yes cutting yourself is to let out anger but it does not work all the time it just leaves scars, and they are really nasty. It depends on the person does she always seem depressed if she does, you might wanna keep a close eye on her she might actually try to kill herself. Good luck!

lilcutie1212 answered Tuesday November 23 2004, 9:52 am: aww. It can be hard to understand, but people who cut themselves sometimes do it because it actually makes them feel better. They are overflowing with emotions - like sadness, depression, or anger - that they have trouble expressing. Dark red
Trickles
Trickles down her arm
A special little secret
Known as self harm
Fiery red
Anger
Builds up deep inside
She's got to let these feelings out
But to who can she confide
Dark silver
Blade
Is the one that she trusts
The one that she turns to
When life becomes too much
xokaylanicoleox answered Tuesday November 23 2004, 8:30 am: You don't cut to kill yourself, I think most people do it for attention. Others need a way to let anger out and they don't know any other way then to cut their wrists or anything other body part. You really need to talk to your friend about this and ask her why she really does it? Tell her you don't like it, because sweetie, it's really bad and can be a very bad addiction. -Kayla [ xokaylanicoleox's advice column | Ask xokaylanicoleox A Question ]
blake08 answered Tuesday November 23 2004, 8:04 am: SCARED,
Cutting yourself is when you take a sharp object and cut your wrists legs or any other part of your body. It is a very dangerous habit and it could lead to suicide. I use to be a cutter and it is not fun at all. It caused more trouble than i already had in my life. And you cut because it helps you releave your problems. You shoukld prob. tell someone or get her sonme help...because if you dont it could only get worse.
PleaseHelpMe answered Tuesday November 23 2004, 4:33 am: To me cutting is just slitting your wrist for the pain of it. Not accutaly to kill yourself, but just to relese pain. If your not a cutter you wont understand how it feels..but its something people do to release anger or sadness. Your friend probably isnt trying to kill herself but might cut her wrist or ankles because she's depressed or sad and found this way to deal with it. Ik alot about this subject, so if you need anything else i'll be here to talk to. Just drop one in my inbox. [ PleaseHelpMe's advice column | Ask PleaseHelpMe A Question ]
sexyybrunette answered Tuesday November 23 2004, 12:20 am: sometimes it just releases pain or sadness.. for some ppl its not ment to kill themselves, just to bring out some pain.. but i heard that ppl do cut deep enuf meaning to kill themselves, so it depends on the person i guess [ sexyybrunette's advice column | Ask sexyybrunette A Question ]
Baby2Gurlie7 answered Tuesday November 23 2004, 12:03 am: *Alright, when people cut themselves, they do NOT do it to kill themselves. They do it when they have emotional pain and want to stop focusing on that, and then they can focus on the physical pain. But there are some people who just do it for attention. If your friend shows people and talks about it with people, other then their closest friends, then they're probably doing it for attention. Hope that helps! <3 [ Baby2Gurlie7's advice column | Ask Baby2Gurlie7 A Question ]
LoLo2454 answered Monday November 22 2004, 11:41 pm: There are 2 different types of people who cut. Those who cut side to side and that is just to get attention and to say "hey someone notice me and that i need help." There is alaso serious cutting. Where it is beyond attention. They are actually trying to kill themselves. And you can kill yourself form lose of blood. And thats usually cutting in x's or up and down.
But what cutting is, is when people try to relieve stress or anger or their emotional pain. And it does work its just an awful way to go about it. As far as your friend goes you need to talk to her or tell someone that she needs help.
blondebombshell33 answered Monday November 22 2004, 11:16 pm: hEy! well i definately dont cut... i cry when i trip! LoL i cant stand pAiN.. LoL bUt ne ways... i know that people do it 4 all different reasons... for some its 2 let out anger and in a weird twisted way... it actually "makes them feel better" which totally does not make sense but it really does... its a reief for them when they have bf/friend/family problems... and some people do do it 2 kill themseleves but you'll most likely see it as an escape for people. its very serious.. and also really has some mental health issues with it... so ur friend needs hElP! good luck

GroverTheStoNer answered Monday November 22 2004, 10:52 pm: Some people cut because they are upset or they don't feel happy. They feel really depressed. I did. I had a lot of problems going on with my older sister and I cut because i was mad at myself and mad at her. I think every person cuts for a different reason. (The people that actually cut, i mean) I don't cut anymore because I told my sister and she told me how many people loved me and cared, so i stopped. My friend also gave me a rubberband and told me to snap it three times on the area i wanted to cut, and you know what? It helped so much!
Just be the best friend that you can be to your friend right now. Tell her about the rubberband technique and give her hugs and just be there for her. Do what you would want your friend to do for you if you were in that situation. Good luck and I hope everything gets better.
