cutters never change =)
so okay, i cut. and well i dont see anything wrong with that. i mean its not like its that serious. its just like getting a tattoo. or getting a peircing so why is it so "bad". people always say dont do it blah blah blah. its not hurting them so why should they care? i just dont get why its like considered so "bad" doing drugs and drinking is a wholee lot worse. so does anyone know why people think its so bad? any other opinions?

Maybe give some free advice about: Mental health?
People say dont do it,
because its self mutilation.
You are hurting yourself on perpose..
well cutting can be addicting,
the more you do it, sometimes the more intense you will cut, the deeper, it gets extreamely dangerous and its unhealthy.
Emotionally and physcially,
its not healthy to get your feelings out by pain, you know? People just care about you and they dont want you to hurt yourself.
People have died from cutting.
It is possible.
Just remember people tell you not to because they care.

alright i hope i help you
one of my best friends and another girl i was friends with both were going thro a really hard time and they both began to cut.
one of them (just my friend) started cutting names into her knuckles, on her wrists, and almost killed herself when she started cutting on her neck.
alright, then one of my best friends was going thro a tough time at school and her family and stuff. she started cutting all up and down her wrists and almost killed her self as well. he parents found out and took her to a rehab were she had to stay for months because it was getting really serouis, to the point were she was cutting from the top of her arm down and where she was almost cutting her viens. eventaully she stopped and its been alot better for her. she even says that shes really happy that shes NOT cutting anymore.
i guess its wrong because your putting your self in danger. i mean your cutting and you could cut way to deep. its not good anyways because its not helping you solve your problems its just making them worse in a way. if i were you i would stop i mean both of my friends did and they felt alot better. its not a good way to deal with problems or anything like that so i suggest you listen to your friends and do stop.
i hope i helped.
bestt of luckk,

Ok they care about you and they dont want youto die! Cutting yourself can kill you. My best freind was taken to the E.R. because she had cut to deep and almost blead to death. I used to cut i still do sometimes so i understand. but listening to them will make it better. So hey try and heal yourself. But they care about you.

I cut myself. I have depression. I hate it when people just do it to do it. Do you have depression? Issomething upsetting you? Do you hate yourself(that's my reason)? Cutting yourself really is bad. It is a way of punishing yourself for something that may not be your fault or something as minor as spilling milk in the cafeteria. It can be a way of killing yourself. It's a horrible habbit to get into, so while you can, get out of it! Trust me, it's for the better.

for most people cutting is a way of making their pain physical. somehow seeing the cut and blood is stimulation to them and they forget about the internal pain for awhile. it can be serious. cutting can lead to other more harmful ways of hurting yourself. people probably care because they care about you and dont want to see you hurting like that. instead of cutting, try writing in a journal or talking to a close friend or family member. i think it is just intimidating to people who dont understand. i've had to deal with depression for most of my life, and i know what it is like for no one to understand. people probably just dont see the point in it becuase they have never had to deal with the pain of being sad or depressed.
my advice to you is to just try to stop cutting and find another way to get your feelings out. ignore the people that may stare or make comments. only you know what is really going on in your head, and if they dont understand that is THEIR problem. you shouldnt have to worry about it.

The biggest thing is that its indicative of some underlying emotional turmoil (usually), and the cutting in and of itself does nothing to help resolve anything. You can cut yourself hard-core, and it wont fix any of the problems in your life at all....and all you have to show for it is a bunch of scars. You'll still have debt, you'll still have your personal problems.
Yes, I know that not everyone cuts themselves because they feel bad or depressed, but you have to admit that depression (or simply feeling sorry for yourself) probably accounts for 90%+ of the people that cut themselves. That, and doing it both to 'fit in' and/or to make an outward statement - its a bit annoying that so many kids nowadays do this as though its something cool to do. Note however that I am not implying that those are your reasons (I dont know you /shrug). If you are in the minority that does it for artistic reasons, and not someone who simply uses it as a justification, then there really isn't a problem. But if you do cut yourself because of anything other than some form of artistic impression, then yes...I'd agree its a bad thing to do in that situation.
I hope that you aren't part of this internet community/fad thats been growing in the last 5 years or so, where a bunch of emo kids cut themselves, take pictures, and then post them on the net for attention as though they've done something heroic. Without knowing where you stand on that, I feel personally that its a pretty sad thing that so many teens nowadays cut themselves in this subculture, when they dont realize that in 5-10 years they will most likely look back and think "What the hell was I doing?". Appreciate the people that tell you its a bad thing to do, they are the ones that care for you enough to even say anything. Be glad you have people who do care, some people have no one - and dont take these people for granted. And if you need help, cutting yourself isnt the way to go...go to those friends and get help, assuming that you need help. If this is artistic only, which is rare, segue more towards the artistic skin patterns and away from random self-cutting, or you'll just keep getting categorized as a 'cutter'.

well, it's not the cutting that's bad. it's the fact that you're trying to hurt yourself for whatever reason. people who care about you don't like that you do that because they don't want you getting hurt [by yourself or anyone else].
im not saying there's nothing wrong with doing drugs and drinking, but cutting is a bit worse in the sense that you're apparently trying to punish yourself, for whatever reason.
and by the way, a girl i know's boyfriend died from cutting too deep. i just want you to know that.
hope i helped. :]

Actually. I used to cut also. I did it for 6 years. Havent in a few months, but I'm completely done with it. I heard the same things "you shouldnt do it, it doesnt help" Whatever. etc etc, right? I'm sure this is all too familiar. Well. From personal experiance, I suppose it helped, but it wasnt in a healthy way and I needed to learn how to deal with stress in a nondestructive way. There are other ways to deal with depression/anger/stress, besides drinking, cutting, burning, and drugs also. Like writing, exercising, dancing, singing, screaming, kicking something. Etc.
I'm not trying to lecture you though.
They care because they care about you & they dont want anything bad to happen to you. It isnt like a tattoo. Tattoo's arent slice marks in your skin and dont make you bleed excessively. Piercings are tiny holes that can be removed and become barely visible. Cutting is permanent, if you scar your skin bad enough it wont ever heal.
I actually regret doing it.
I cut so deep that I needed to get stitches, but I didnt and it healed all messed up and I have a raised scar on my forearm that wont ever go away. My upper arms are also tore up big time. I wish I could make them go away now that everything is over and done with, but I cant. & If I ever got really tan they would show up horribly. How would that look if I got a professional job & Had to wear a short sleeve shirt? Or go to a wedding and wore a strapless dress for that matter?
Yeah.
I cant wear tube tobs, short sleeves, anything. I'm always hiding them.
It's a pain.
Do you really want that?
Thats really what your friends are getting at. They dont want you to have to go through that.
I understand that it may not be that bad right now but what happens when thats what you turn to for everything, and little cuts arent satisfying anymore? What happens when the cut gets so deep that you almost bleed to death like I did? What happens when your older and have kids and they ask why you have scars all over your body? Ehh. It's a sickness, an addiction, a habit. It doesnt go away unless you stop it. & if things keep going wrong, you wont, because you wont think theres anything wrong with you.
Your friends are just looking out for you, their not trying to "ruin your life". I promise.
So basically.
Look at the long term effects, and if its worth it then by all means keep cutting. Do it to get over your pain, do it for the rest of your life, anything I suppose.
Just make sure that you are aware of what to look forward to in the future.
I'm just looking out for you, just like them.
