The reason you Cut yourself may be a way for you to express your anger and you welcome the pain because you no its really there you want to feel it ...i think you should try to take out your anger in a different way..try writing poetry it works for me and sometimes i look back at them and i understand my feelings a little better.. also try to stay in a posotive mood like do something that makes you happy i hope i helped =)

I know it's extremely hard to stop cutting, but i did.
The reason for me cutting was a way for me to deal with stress because i didn't know how to escape it. What helped me stop was thinking of the ones i loved and the ones who cared about me before i cut. I put myself in their situation, and i thought how they would feel if i was gone. And it personally made me sick to my stomach. I strongly advise you to think about that before you do it, i almost guarentee it'll make you stop. Another thing you can do is go take a long walk by yourself. That also helped me. And if these things don't help, i advise you seek professional help, but try on your own first, it's worth not paying the money, because when you seek professional help, then put you on depression pills and all that shit, and you don't want to be on that, trust me.

Well, I know it has to be tough to quit cutting, but try putting yourself in your friend's position. You would be really upset too if one of your friends were cutting.
What you should do is come clean and let someone know that you have been depressed and unleashing it in the wrong way. Like a trusted adult or your parents. You'll feel better when someone knows that you're going through a rough time because then they won't be confused and upset about why you are moody or depressed.

Your friends are right. WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT??!!! You are lucky you have a bunch of friends who care that much about you.
You cutting yourself is due to anger, right? Then there's your answer. Anger management!! Learn to control your anger. Easiest way is POSITIVE THINKING. Something bad happens, there is ALWAYS a good side to it. Make it a point to look for the good side.
If anger is not the root of your problem. You could be suffering from a psychological problem. I am not sure the exact name. But it's where people hurt themselves. Like cutting themselves when they get angry, depressed or sad. You'll need professional help for this.
If you still can't manage it, please seek professional help. Don't be too embarassed to do so. You've already taken the first step by acknowledging the problem. Take another step and help yourself. They will help you, that's what they are there for.
Everytime before you pick up something to cut yourself, think of why you are doing it. "Because i am angry?" Then ask youself if its worth it endangering yourself and possibly losing a life worth it over that matter.
AND TRUST ME, THERE IS NOTHING WORTH KILLING YOURSELF FOR.
Everything in life happens for a reason, and emotions that you experience should be controlled. Remember, you have the support and care of your family and friends. Consider how they would feel seeing you like this.
I know being a teen is not easy. But hang in there. You have a life ahead of you. Treasure it... Good luck

As hard as it may be to do you can stop cutting.
As painful as this sounds try band therapy wear rubber hands around your wrists and when you feel the need to cut pop the band against your skin a couple time until your at ease. It will take a lot of poping to help at first but slowly the poping yourself will become less frequent.

First off, what are you using?
Whatever it is, hide it or throw it away, tell your friends to take all your blades and trash them in a local dumpster with you.
Then maybe you should tell your current gaurdian about your habit, and you could get counseling(Sp?).
Focus more on your school work and your friends, try not to go alone too much, that presents a greater risk for you to cut. Socialize and prevent yourself from just leaving and going to cut, then coming back.
Think posistive thoughts all day and repeat them over and over when you very first wake up in the morning.
Get involved in an extra cirricular(Sp?) activity with a bunch of your friends.Throw sleepovers, talk about boys,and eat tons of popcorn. :]
When you think about cutting or a negative thought about yourself, hit yourself a couple times and tell yourself that you are great [These may sound odd, but they really work. My best friend used to be a cutter. She quit and is clean now :D]
I really hope I helped and I wish the best of luck to you! :]
