Hope I helped...

otempora answered Monday January 10 2005, 4:24 pm: You should really try to seek professional help!! A a lot of my friends went throught this, and some got professional help and it helped them decide that they wanted and needed to stop, because you are the only one that has to decide wether or not to stop.

Farren answered Monday January 10 2005, 10:23 am: It doesn't control pain. You watched a movie like Thirteen or something and thought it was cool, now you're doing it to be all "angsty". You probably just want attention. You poor, poor deprived, ignorant child.

Pain_Is_Love_101004 answered Monday January 10 2005, 9:05 am: You should never ever cut yourself over anything,even a guy. I have been in the same situation that you are in and it is not a good one. I suggest that you talk to a rather close friend and tel them what you have been doing. Cutting is a serious matter and even thought I dont know you I really hope that you will stop. Wat is it about this guy that makes you like him so much? Are you both friends, bc if you are sometimes that can be better then being bf and gf. Well please stop cutting yourself and talk to someone. No guy is ever worth hurting yourself and sometimes it can lead to more serious things then cutting. I started to cut, then I started to take hundreds of pills every day. I soon talked to ppl, such as my frinds and then I stopped. It helped me and I think that it wil help you. Good Luck! Rate me!

Courckypooh answered Monday January 10 2005, 7:08 am: I got cheated on and used in the beginning of the 6th grade (in 7th grade now)(by the same person). I started a diary. If you can't talk to anybody else about this subject, talk to your diary. It sorts out your thoughts. I've been keeping one since 1st grade. It's a place where I can dump out all of my felings. you can even show it to your mom or your best friend or someone like that if you cna't tell them your problem with cutting. If that doesn't work, I'd suggest telling your mom or asking to see a psycologist. This will get serious and might end up to suicide if you don't try to stop it now. Good luck!! ♥~Kylie~♥ [ Courckypooh's advice column | Ask Courckypooh A Question ]
iLjaG answered Sunday January 9 2005, 10:48 pm: Don't hold the emotions in, thats whats making you cut yourself. Move on. Get interested in another guy, stop obsessing over this one that doesn't give you the time of day, MOVE ON! [ iLjaG's advice column | Ask iLjaG A Question ]
angel411 answered Sunday January 9 2005, 10:45 pm: First, get rid of anything that you used to cut (Razors, knives, anything). Second, write out your feelings in a journal or talk to someone so that you don't have anger or hurt built up inside. Third, realize that there are other people out there besides him and he isn't the right one for you if he doesn't love you back, there are other people who will love you. Fourth, seek help from an adult. ♥
Also remember that this will only add pain into your life later on even though you think its helping to ease. Cutting is not a solution to a problem, its only a scar to remind you of past troubles. It's up to you to change. [ angel411's advice column | Ask angel411 A Question ]
DaPacman42086 answered Sunday January 9 2005, 10:29 pm: I understand what you are going through, i use to cut myself also and ill tell u right now that it is not the way to go and you will regret it many times later in life. Think of it this way you cut yourself to stop emotional pain but what your not seeing is that you are just making a permanent reminder of that pain right there in your skin where you can always see it. I have 21 scars just on the top of my left arm. (i dont wana count the the rest.... it hurts to remember why i did it) Every time you look at those scars you will remember the pain that you felt before so your not helping yourself your just hurting yourself even more.
A good way to stop the cuting is to find a hobby, mine is cars, when i get in a bad mood or just need a way to take my mind off of something i go outside and work on my car or just drive it until i calm down. Find yourself a hobby and make sure that its somthing you like to do offten even when your in a good mood and do that instead of the cuting.
Shortie8959 answered Sunday January 9 2005, 10:27 pm: A guy shouldn't make you cut yourself. You need to just forget about him, and you'll stop hurting. Try hanging around other guys, because that way, you'll forget about him faster. Good luck!
Hope I helped!

ICE11BLUE answered Sunday January 9 2005, 10:13 pm: You are just dealing with your emotions in the wrong way. Try doing something else instead. Do what you like to do. I know what cutting is like, I used to do it. It does relieve pain, but other things can too, and other things like drawing and painting, playing an insturment or a sport, or writing in a journal and listening to music. You have to set your mind to do the things that are much more rewarding in the long run. [ ICE11BLUE's advice column | Ask ICE11BLUE A Question ]
americangirl101 answered Sunday January 9 2005, 10:02 pm: cutting yourself is not the answer. I think that you should put all your razors and sharp objects and through them away. Talk to someone about it like your mom or if you dont feel confortible talking with her talk to your friends or a school conculer or someone who will listen. Talk to Chris and ask him if theres anything that you can do to change or fix to make him feel more confortible with dating you. If that wont work then you just have to move on I'm sure ur a really nice person and he may just be a friend to you. Dont cut yourself I'm sure that theres someone out there for you. And if you move on maybe he will like you later on and think man was I stupid to say no to her. Good luck follow your heart. And please dont cut. <3 American Girl [ americangirl101's advice column | Ask americangirl101 A Question ]
bAbiixPhAtT3 answered Sunday January 9 2005, 9:54 pm: cutting hmm.. yes it helps and it feels good i know but i think when he finds out your cutting or your friends and family find out and notice how much its hurting them then i think that will make you stop but hopefully they dont find out lol rubber band, wear one around your wrist and when you feel like cutting just pull it
