I have a friend who is a cutter. She has been for as long as I can remember. Lately, we have become best friends and I felt like cutting, too. Not because I have a bad home life or because I have stress in my life or anything like that because I don't, but I think it's because I am best friends with her now. I did cut my legs up pretty bad just 2 weeks ago, but then I never did it again and now they are healed. I keep getting the urges to cut, and then I tell myself not to. But I still can't help but feel so influenced by her to cut myself. A long time ago I used to cut because I liked it, but that didn't last long and wasn't as obsessed with it as I am now. I love this girl with all my heart. She really is a GREAT friend that I had since pre-school, but I need help with trying to stop thinking about the whole idea of cutting all together. I must admitt that I did REALLY like it, but I know that it is unhealthy. But I STILL get those urges and they keep getting bigger and bigger .. HELP !* signed., helpless soul

dont cut it hurts everyone around you and doing it encorages ur mate to do it even more.If you feel da urge cut paper or something (i dont know laugh out loud)my mate used to cut but to help when she had urges n stuff she started to write a book and she is still writing in it and adding all the things that happened to her in the story - it can really help

As some of these brilliant minds are of no use to you, cursing and ranting about how you are crazy, dont listen. however, do listen to people like grandma. You need to tell somebody, you cant beat this by yourself. Talk with someone, you might not be interested in telling your parents, maybe a councelor? www.dmlive.com they can help if you need someone to talk to or something. But your friend should kick the habit, you never know if you might go too far. But this is about you, not her. It might cause immediate relief to you, but it will have long term, bad effects

I know this aint that good advice but you dont have to cut because your best friend does...Its pointless for you to because you said your not depressed,your life is pretty good, i know you probably wouldnt like it but you should see a shrink (i call them shrinks you may call them something differant) they sometimes can help if you get a good one

i had kinda the same problem but i never did cut cause of how stupid it is. it doesn't take away no pain it just is like digging a kinife in to your skin which is pointless. i think you shoudl stop cutting it sounds liek you have a pretty good life and by cutting you could really hurt urself and your life and thats a shame concerning how good you have it. the other fact is your loosing blood everytime and many times can go wrong when you loose your blood. and you have such a good life i mean atleast you have legs to cut when theres other people who dont even have legs!! so i would think about how good i have it and how much im hurting myself and if that still doesnt work get help and fast and im talking about professional help
ps.take your friend with you before you both end up in a hospital ;]

i think you should talk 2 someone more experienced, like your mom or something.. this is a serious problem that should be handled professionally.

Maybe by helping your friend you can help yourself. If you tell an adult about your friend, she can get help and then hopefully that will cause your urges to go down. She has a serious problem and so do you. You do not have to give up your friendship with her. Help her because you love and care for her. Help yourself because you do not deserve to go through that psychological pain. Even though you have no stress in your life, cutting will really ruin you in the long run. I have had experience with this issue when I was younger. I know you might think you do it because your friend does but I honestly do not think that is the case. I think you need to sit down and really think about why you feel the need to harm yourself. I have some tips to help you stop also. First, keep a journal and write down everything you feel. Second, if you feel the need to cut get a red marker and make slash marks with that instead (I know it sounds weird but it works). Third, if you continue to then tell an adult. You should try to help your friend stop and if she refuses to tell someone then you should whether she gives you permission to or not. If she really influences you THAT much and there is absolutely no other reason you do it, and you refuse to tell an adult..then you really need to disconnect yourself from her so you can at least be safe. Try to surround yourself with different friends that can influence you in a positive way. Whatever you decide, I hope for the best for you and your friend. Goodluck

First of all you shouldnt be cutting just because she is. You are the one who is supposed to be heloing her stop because its not good or healthy! No one can get through people and cutting. I honestlly thinks its pathetic that you like the pain! Rate me bad but I'm just like oh god! If you were a true friend you would of helped her stop and talked her out of doing it. You are't supposed to do it with her! It doesnt feel good.. trust me I know. Tell her its not worth it and all it does is leave bad scars on yourself and then again all her problmes.. stress.. depression will still be there. The only way she can stop is if you help her or if she talks to a counslor. And trust me she needs that. If you continute it you do to. You never know if one of you will cut your vein and thats just not good. Eather of you could end up at the hospital. Babe.. there is a lot of other ways and habits you can do.. that are healthier. When you have the earge to cut take a rubberband and just snap it on yourself. Good luck.. and I seriously wasnt trying to be rude or anything but you need to stop. Just keep trying! You both can do it! ♥//

You should talk to your friend and sort this out together cause if you don't your going to end up hurt and hopeless.

dont cut yourself even if you get a really big urge you should make new friends at a local pool or something and just ignore her for a week or so then invite her to hangout with your new friends to get her happy and get her mind off cutting herself and show her there is life without cutting i heard about someone who got into a comah from cutting make hher relieve it is bad and she can die and tell her to think how her parents will feel
