This is more common than you probably realize, and more serious. Depression is very real and can lead to suicide. Cutting yourself, causing yourself pain is not normal and you need to find another outlet for your feelings. Try seeing a therapist who specializes in that area. There are medicines out there and other therapies that can help you. Please, stop hurting yourself, you don't want to be left with scars or worse; you could end up really hurting yourself. Get professional help. Take care.

it may feel good at the time when you do it, but it's very unhealthy for you mentally not to mention physically and emotionally.

it is the stress relief and escape you need to get because of some pressure and likely depression you feel in your life. i understand your need for stress relief, and i encourage it, but this isn't healthy for you.

i'd encourage you to try to talk to your school counselor and seek help. they can help you get to the root of your problems and why you choose this as your release. they will show you healthy and
still satisfying and effective methods to channel your energy.

i hope you don't take offense to what i've said, i care for you just like i care for any human being, i don't like to see harm coming to you from your emotions, your surroundings, or from you cutting yourself. there ARE alternatives and i hope you seek them because as it feels like a release, it's still hurting yourself and i don't like to see that.

good luck and i hope you can talk to someone who can help you. who knows they may even help you to feel better about your life as a whole.

You may not think its that bad, but when your friends/fmaily see it, it hurts them emotionally and mentally. Cutting isn't helping the "pain" of your everyday life. Its all in your head. You've convinced yourself that cutting makes you feel better. Its a psychological thing.

The best way to stop, is to take your feelings out on something else. I cut a few times when I was 12/13 and I started drawing, writing, and painting. Its a really good stress, anger, and pain reliever.

Hope I helped.

Cutting may make you feel better, but it makes your friends and family feel worse. Becuase they dont think they can help you and its hurts them when they see you hurt yourself. I used to cut myself about 2 years ago becuase there was alot of stuff going on in my life but then i aked myself why i was even doin this. Its somthing that you really need to end.. You could end up in the hospital or even worse. My friend who use to cut almsot died becuase he cut down too far and lost alot of blood. You dont want that to happen to do? Something you can do to stop is when you feel down go to your bestfriend or someone you can talk to. Tell them wats on ur mine, let some tears out and just dont think about cutting. Think about ur future and everything you have to live for....

I use to tell my mom that they were cat scratches. But excuses and hiding it doesn't help.

YES, it is very bad and you should stop before it gets too serious. Your friends should help you, not call you things.

Just wait until they all disappear or rub special lotions on them. and after they're gone, try not to do it. exercise or scream instead
