How is it bad..?
Okay, I'm just a bit curious. Everybody thinks cutting is so freakishly horrible and everything. Well in all honesty, I don't see the harm in it unless you're making cuts deep enough for stitches or something. Otherwise, you may have a mark or a scar - but no real damage done..? When I get extremely upset - it usually helps calm me down, in a BIG way. What is all the hype about..?

In a way, I understand your curiosity. Hurting yourself in general is bad. When you cut yourself, people think youre troubled, and you could end up in a mental institution or rehab. NO terrible damage is done, but if you continue to do it, and at the same time believe its okay, then it will worsten and youll regret it. People cut themselves because they have emotional pain. They cant do anything about it, so they inflict physical pain on themselves because its easier to deal with. While you say it calms you down, its also making you tell yourself that its ok. If you were ever extremely depressed, it may lead to something worse than just a cut, scratch, or scar. You can die from it. Thats what all the hype is about. I dont recommend doing it, and suggest you try to break the habit. There are better things to calm you down that dont involve hurting yourself or making people think that you want attention. I hope i helped and made you understand a little better. Good luck.

It's bad because your hurting your body when you grow you'll probably cut everytime you get sad or mad and that's a lot of cuts. Trust me Violence is not the answer!

I don't think it's always about what it does physically (altho that can be extremely serious) but i think it has a lot to do with your state of mind when you do it...I think it's a very serious thing that requires help from a counselor!

its not good emotionally and eventually u will cut deep enough to kill your self. its a sick emotional condition that isnt normal you need to seek counseling. take it from someone who use to do it. pluse the scars wont ever go away.

Cutting is bad more because is a psychocematic kind of thing. The logic I've received froma sking cutters why they do it is that 'if they cut themselves, they will have to worry about the cut and not their problems, who will care, will they be ok, etc.'
There is harm in it. You're cutting yourself. That's not the answer to problems. It's also the fact that most people can't stop themselves once they start. It's like nicotine. And over time it can become a problem. I've seen cutters who act like its nothing big, and do it right in front of me. It's unsettling to watch someone desicrate their own limbs like that.
I guess then, what I'm saying is, that after awhile, it gets out of hand and then it gets scary.

cutting is bad because of the psychoeologic aspect of it. When you cut you are drowning emotional pain with pysical pain. When this happens too often you become "addicted" to cutting because your body will forget how to deal with emotional pain in a healthy way. Actually cutting yourself is a mental disorder. Cutting yourself for the enjoyment or to flood your emotions is a self-mutilation type thing. It is DANGEROUS because your psyche forgets how to normally deal with the pain thus leaving you in a downward spiral. Please stop. Learn a different way to deal with pain.

Cutting, in itself, is not terribly bad (except for infection and scaring risks). It is the psychological aspect that makes it bad. It is a way to avoid learning to handle stress, depression, anger, etc. Being able to handle your own emotions without turning to blades is a part of life. In a way, it's similar to people who get steaming drunk when things go wrong at work.
Also, it hurts your loved ones. No one wants to believe that everyday life is hurting you so badly that you need to use such an outlet.

Cutting is horrible. It just is, you don't see it because for one, you do it, and for two, I don't think you'll realize how bad it is until you hear that someone you really love does it. Its not a stress reliever, its a way to make things worse, you don't know that yet. Sorry to sound harsh about this, but if something goes wrong in life, like your bills don't get paid, and you cut, are the bills suddenly paid? Nope. I know exactly what you're thinking, "Whatever, you don't know what its like." Try putting yourself in your mom's place, and you find out your daughter has been cutting, would you say, "well, if the cuts aren't deep, then its ok"? No, you definetly would rush them into help as fast as you could. There are much better ways to take your stress and anger on, like a pillow, or a punching bag, but cutting isn't a way, its a way to get yourself into more stressful situations. Sometimes, when you're a teen, or a child, and you're doing something wrong, and don't see the wrong in it, try to picture yourself as a mother, and have a child just like yourself and you'll probably get it. Trust me, cutting damages you whether they are deep or not, or whether they leaves scars that go away or stay, its harmful mostly to yourself and others. Your friends,and your family would be hurt. So, think twice each time before you say, "theres nothing wrong with cutting."

most people just worry... they always hear the dangers of it and they dont know what it does to clam you and relax you. they just want you to be safe and they dont want to lose you! to tell you the truth... i've been in the same situation as you!!! so all i have to say is that when people care about you, most of them will freak out like that...

It's a temporary fix, one that doesn't solve anything. There are underlying issues that need to be dealt with if you have this urge. You could think about it like being an alcoholic, drinking might make the alcoholic feel better, yet no one would say "ohh it's just alcoholism" it is not healthy and it is only a temporary escape.

Because when people cut they're not dealing with their problems. Cutting is emotionally damaging, even though it may not seem it, and often leads to deeper depression and worse forms of self-mutilation.

When you cut.. think about this. What if someone came into the room and scared you - and you accidently cut a vein and bled really badly? - what if the knife you used had something on it and it got into your body and poisioned you.. and you got an infection? what if someone accidently bumped you and you cut deep and ended up killing yourself.
think about the little things other then the big things that may happen. i use to cut and my boyfriend gave me tons of sanarious of what could happen..and it really made me think about it and i stopped shortly after. is cutting really that big of a thing in your life that your willing to kill yourself and hurt people that care about you? talk to your parents about getting help.

Okay look hun I have so much knowledge on this topic by now its not even funny. You really need to stop because one time your gonna be overly upset and mistakenly cut too far, or something bad is gonna happen. You know even the littlest cuts can also get infected. Hun please try to stop.

Think about it this way:
-You start of with minor "harmless" cuts when you're boyfriend breaks up with you or you get in a fight with a friend.
-Then, your parents get into a big fight and there's yelling every night. You can't take it and go cut about it. It a bigger deal than getting in a silly fight with a friend so it calls for deeper cuts.
-Your parents then get a divorce. You're devastated. Once again, bigger disappointments require deeper cuts. So, you go deeper.
-A close family member then dies. It takes you over board and you slit your wrists....see where I'm going with this?
Cutting help you deal with your pain, right? You cut your arm that causes more pain which makes you forget about your initial pain. Well, what happens when you're reminded of that pain? You'll go cut again, correct? So tell me this: What's better; dealing with what is going wrong now or cutting away your pain and having to deal with it many more times later?

Yea... Thats exacly what I thought but then if you have people constantly telling you the bad things then you kind of get the picture. It is bad. You never know what you can do. You can cut your vein and thats how you can die. It leaves ugly scars on your skin that dont need to be there and even tho you might think the thing that you are dealing with will go away.. it wont. Those problems are always going to be there. Instead of damaging your body you need to find a better way to deal with problems. Good luck and please stop. Its really no point to it. ♥
