Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Injuries?
I'm having the same problem. You just have to be strong. Truth is, it's gonna be hard. but only if you allow it to be. That's what I do -- I allow it to be hard..and now I can't stop myself. I've also gotten my friend to start it even though shes only tried it once and it didn't even leave a mark, and ever since then I hate even talking to her about it. Ever since then I just don't speak to anybody about it except to those who already know, and except on advicenators to help people out.
What I've tried (and what my friends have also suggested me to do) is to put rubberbands on your arm and snap it as hard as you wish in order to get over the thought of cutting yourself. I mean I've tried it before but I didn't really give it the chance, but a rubberband really does work..and it doesn't scar. Then from then on you can slowly stop the rubberband thing and see how you feel without it for a few days.
Also, stock up on short-sleeve shirts. (No NOT long sleeve)..I mean wear a sweater until your scars clear up, but once they're cleared up, stock up on short-sleeved shirts so you'll be forced to wear those and so you'd have nothing to hide your scars with. That would motivate you to want to stop..because you wouldnt want people to see your scars while your wearing a T-Shirt.
You'll be fine, please try what I suggested as soon as you read this..it will help you in the long run, and if you need help or feel as if you're running out of ideas or just happiness, you can always ask me a question or i/m me once I get my screen name up on my advice column..
Good luck --

A way to avoid this is putting a rubber band on your wrist, like a bracelet, and snap at it whenever you feel you need to cut yourself. Seriously.

You need to talk to someone, a counsler, a teacher, a parent, a subling, anyone. It is very serious. Even talk to your docter. TELL someone and get help!

Hahahaha, you're a germ. Okay, okay, to the point. Its good you talk about it. I recommend this, just dont do it. You're 14 probably havnt had a job of any sort, you really dont have a life and have barely any reason to dig a knife into your veins. You're a pussie, and an idiot. Its the truth, you're most likely doing it for attention just like everyone else. Its not that you cant stop, its that your too retarded to stop. I recommend seeing someone about your problem. If you intend to stay stupid and not fix your problem though, Try digging your knife harder into your arm, when the blood shoots up real high, probably hits the ceieling, then you have suceeded in almost killing yourself. Then you can have a near death experience and see if you liked almost leaving this earth entirely. Your dumb, get help fast before you do permanent damage.

Gte phsycological help ASAP!!! This could very very easily lead to death... or a worse habit. Obviously it is out of your reach and you need other to help you. If you feel uncomfortable going to your parents/guardians then go to the school guidance conselor. You said you have tried to stop and that's good that you want to but now you have to have other peple help you.

Try having your friends and yourself go to a consuler. Either a school one or one out of school. They can give you methods to stop and mediciane if needed. Threapy will help you. I hope I helped! ♥ good luck

go talk to a councelor!

wow, im glad i talked to you then. i cut myself often too, but that was before i did something about it. first you SHOULDNT ever tell your friends about what you do alone. you can never trust anyone with something like that. when i cut, i used to do it alone and in the dark...try getting yourself into something that will distract you. i was so depressed...and wanting something to take away the pain...so i know how you feel. if you like music then blast it when ever you are feeling upset or just fuckin pissed off at the world. it helps. believe me.start writing...i write poetry all the time. but it dosent have to be poetry...just write what you feel. throw your emotions out on paper rather than feel it through blood. if your friends do it, give them the same advice i have...they are only doing it because you did. i know... tell them you have stopped, and then they will feel alone in the world. make it kind of a thing with both of u...and chill together when ur ticked off. and dude...i seriously dont give a SHIT what these other people say. NO WAY IN HELL DO YOU GO TO A TEACHER OR A PARENT. are you kidding me?? they wont understand how you feel...your a teenager......are they?? i didnt think so. =D
i hope i helped you, good luck!! =D if you ever need anything else PLEASE feel free to ask me anything...i am here to help those i can relate too =P.
dont let the LIGHTS FADE OUT

You have to talk to someone about this, someone who's actually in your shoes. One of my friend's been doing this since she was 14 and she is now 18. If you'd like to talk to her, just leave one in my inbox. I'd be glad to give you her e-mail. I'm sure she'll help you out and give you some reasons why you should stop.

hey...my cousin had this problem and her concouler made her do this :
put rubberbands all along your wrists...it will hide your cuts and when you want to cut take them and snap them REALLY had against your wrists....its painful , but its not life threatening..
]
you need to tell your parents and let them help you. or maybe go to a teacher that you are comfortable with and tell them what you have been up to. you need help before this situation gets any worse also make sure you friend gets the same kind of help you are getting. if you need to talk i'm always here just leave a message in my inbox.

you need to talk to someone who will help you. probably a counslor. i don't know just use your judgement. it'll be hard. but you need to. also put a rubberband on your wrist and start snapping it everytime you feel the urge. `

Im happy you reached out to your friends..but now you have to reach out to a adult IF the following doesnt work.
1. From now on...when you want to cut yourself..hit a pillow hard
2. Write poetry..stories..etc.
3.Listen to music
I know going to an adult is probably the last think you want to do..but if you cant cut the habbit by doing this in a few days..then I would talk to an adult.They can give you the help you need to stop cutting and to get back on track! Dont feel ashamed,embarassed,etc because thousands of kids our age do it..and they are in the same boat! The only difference is..you want to stop it and im proud your asking for help.

Hey well why are u cutting yourself??? Please stop just hide or throw away all the things you are using to cut yourself. Its really really bad 4 you. Sometimes if you cut to deep you could cut one of your vains that lead to your brain and you could die. You dont want to die do you?? I know i dont want you to die even though i dont know you.
JUST PLEASE STOP!!!!!!!!!!! I hope I helped

try to talk to a guidence councler at your skool, maybe they could help, or better yet, just find some kind of activity that you could do to keep you busy.

Do you know why you cut? Did you start doing it because other people did? If your friends arent much help then you need to go to a counselor in your school or your parents. Have your friend go with you also to Your Guidence counselor who will help you out a lot. Good Luck Hun!

Hi i'd like to talk to you but not in this way heres my e-mail addy please use it. vicky2k50@hotmail.com. Please use it. xx Also try using a red felt tip pen when ever u feel the urge use that or use ice and then numb ur hand and use your fingers it really works. xx

You have to go to an adult, for starters, your parents, or if you aren't wanting to, tell a counselor, but your parents will know anyway, and you will have to let them know eventually. You don't want to be doing this still at like 26. And, it sounds like your friend just wants attention, so I think you should tell his parents hes doing it too, or talk him into telling them. You need to try figuring out with an adult why you're cutting, stress, depression, attention, not good enough or pleasing anybody. You really need to contact an adult, this is the only way you will stop, and if people on this advice site are just giving you ways to stop like the rubber band snap, I say you try that after telling them, don't just quit without telling your parents, or you will slip right back into your bad habits of cutting. You probably have heard of the rubber band snaping thing, it is where you have a rubber band on your arm, and everytime you feel the need to cut, you snap the rubberband, but I am hoping before you do that, you will get your parents or your guardian involved.
