You're hearing this from someone that has cut, and though I haven't cut in about 6 or 7 months I've still thought a lot about it.
Cutting, it sounds stupid, and makes you think, "why would someone do this"
Well I guess you could say it's an emotional weakness. Cutting is physical pain, the reason you cut is emotional pain. Sometimes the emotional pain hurts so bad that physical pain is the only way to stop it. I really don't know how to explain it in words, well writing it down. I mean there are people out there that cut for attention, I started because of problems me and an ex had, also because I blamed myself for the death of a friend. But really it is stupid, but in an unexplainable way, it makes you feel better. That is the best explanation I can give, it's a hard subject to explain. But I guese emotional weakness (depending what you mean by it) would be a good enough explanation.
EDIT~~As to your feedback, you spelt "genious" wrong. You're the moron. First, just because you know something doesn't mean the whole world knows it. And I really don't care if cutting makes you more depressed. You were completely rude, and I noticed this in the feedback you gave to almost everyone who answered. We answered a simple question, you were rude about it, what is your problem?

Well this answer is from a cutter. I dont know why other people cut but i cut myself to let the emotional pain escape through my body somehow yes it seems stupid but it offers temporary emotional relief in exchange for minor bodily harm. Sometimes people cut themselves severely and thats not good at all its due to some extreme emotional depression such as a family death or a fight with friends or familly. usualy something traumatic or stressful will provoke this behavior. hope i helped - mike

they say that the physical pain is easier to dealwith than the emotional. my firend said it was like you were just concentrating so much on the outside pain that it sort of makes you numb on the inside. its sad...very sad.. :(

For some who are depressed cutting is a away to make themselves feel better. They feel like they can't control things in their life but they can control cutting and they like that they can control it, so they start but then they become addicted to it. There are many different reason people cut, and I honestly can't tell you every real reason because I've never felt that way and I've never cut before so it's hard to explain why people do things they do if you haven't experienced it yourself. One of my friends actually used to cut and I once read a book called "Cut" and that's what I've gathered to be the main reason... But nowadays it seems some people do it because it's "cool" ... lol
---Edit---
I didn't say I agreed with the people that cut because it's "cool" I was just saying that for some people their only reason is they think it's cool... For some reason depression and all the effects have become a fad to some people the same as bisexuality has become cool.

Most people who cut dont know how to relieve stress, and they feel that cutting is a way to relieve the stress and stop the pain, i USED to be a cutter and while you think that cutting would hurt, you get so wrapped up in all of the emotional pain, that physical pain doesn't hurt anymore! i've quit cutting, because it is VERY dangerous...hope that i helped....Brittney

when someone has a lot of problems and issues and pain, they cut themselves so that they can focus on the pain that they just made themselves feel. it's hard to explain but, when you feel a lot of emotional pain, you don't really know where the pain is, and when you dont know where it is, it'll be harder for you to heal yourself. so if you cut yourself, you'll be able to focus on that specific spot that was cut instead of all the other issues you have to deal with. when you cut yourself, it puts your mind off everything else.
sry if it's confusing, but i hope i helped :)

I knew a lot of people who used to cut. People do it because of depression. They feel bad and they hate everything about them selves and their lives. They think that its the best way to cut and that it will make their pain go away. I also dont understand it. I mean there is defenetlly other ways to releve stress and get through depression. But see.. people just think that its worth it. Later they will relize that it doesnt help and thats its really worthless. It just leaves bad scars on your skin and then again your problems will never go away because of it. ex__oOh

Kids cut themselves because that's what other angsty kids do. Cutting does NOT relieve any stress, anger, or frustration. It's simply psychosomatic. They HEAR someone say it does, they THINK that it does, so when they do it, they BELIEVE it works. No one comes up with the cutting idea on their own. Whether they see it on TV or a friend does it, they get the idea elsewhere and implement it on themselves.
You are right about the weakness part. These people do not know how to deal with reality. (Cause you know, it's not like we all have to, right?)

people cut beacause of depression/anger they cant control their emotions and handle pressure so conflicting pain on themselves makes them feel better.

People cut or hurt themselves physically because of emotional feelings. They find cutting as a stress relief. As if when the blood flows, their pain and stress is taken away. For example, I'm sure you have complained about something such as a tooth-ache. A friend might have pinched you or caused you to hurt so that you are focused on that pain, not the one you were feeling from the tooth-ache. It's the same thing for cutting. By hurting themselves, it makes their emotional hurt feel not as bad. Hope I helped.
love always,
