Ey, there's nothing wrong with you, honestly! I used to cut, and let me let you know, it was honestly the HARDEST thing i've ever had to do, and trust me, there's bin some pretty weird shit in my life!! Well, I remember when I was in grade 7 I used to cut, and I would do that by bringing a bag to my kitchen, dropping a knife into it, taking it to my bathroom and secretly slicing my wrists open. In class, i knew i would get in trouble if i was caught with a knife, so in Math class, i would get those "Compass" things for Math, and cut myself with that. I tried phoning teen hot lines for help, but they didn't do much help. I stopped by thinking how selfish i was by bringing pain to myself, and what if it got so out of hand that it would lead to suicide? I mean, if i did end up killing myself, well, it's basically the most selfish thing a human can do, as there are many out there much better off than us. So think about that, and try phoning the teen hot lines. There are also things on Google you could try. So please, just stop cutting!! :)

I'm afraid I don't know very much about cutters, but I am a person who often needs to relieve stress or to feel control.
I don't cut, I usually grab myself really tight(or hit/throw something, a pillow or sofa, without damaging anything or hurting anyone) that I leave many fingernail marks on my arm. I know it's probably not healthy, but I feel relieve afterwards, since you would heal quickly from it, maybe you would consider to use it instead?
Best wishes. :)

Dear Susie said it best, but everyone is saying more or less the same thing - you have some sort of unresolved problem that you need to talk about - with a shrink or your parents or preferably both. Cutting is very much like anorexia in that it's about mastering your own body - conquering hunger or pain to prove you can control these most basic functions. Oddly, even though you're hurting yourself, it's really about a kind of power. The problem is, that feeling of power and accomplishment can be addictive, and you can end up seriously hurting yourself. Therapy and honest talk can help you learn to get your feelings of power and accomplishment in and from the world outside you, instead of just your own body. Good luck! I'm sure you can get past this and have a fuure with no more scars.

I have known a couple people who were cutters, so I kinda know where you are coming from. I know that they did it because it was the one thing that they could control & it felt like a release of all the pain & stress that they were feeling. I think that cutting is a coping method used by many teens today, instead of doing drugs or other rebellious acts. Cutters who do it in private, as in not as an attention seeking behavior, feel comforted by it, it isnt a good way to deal with stress but it often times become an addiction.
I think your best bet is to find someone to talk to like a counselor, that way you can be in a safe surrounding & able to talk to them about things you may not be able to tell other people. Or if you feel comfortable try talking to a close friend, or email someone here on advicenators, we are neutral 3rd parties who will not judge you but be here for you if you need someone to talk to. A counselor will be able to help you find other copeing mechanisms which may help you more in the future.
Hope I Helped :)

What do I think of cutters?
I don't think they're attention seekers... well, some of them are... but the ones who cannot stop and feel the need to... I think they just have messed up shit going on and need some healthy outlet, but just haven't found one yet.
What I think you should do, is stop.
'Cause... when you're older, you'll look at them and think yourself a dickhead for doing that... and wishing the scars would go away.
You need another outlet for your pain.
Like, sex or boxing... or, like art or music.

Much love.

a lot of people do it for attention and others do it because they are going through this teenage phase of 'i can't feel pain. life sucks for me..etc etc..'. there must be something in your life that is not going right or is making you feel angry and this is the only way that you can figure out how to deal with it. you should really talk to your parents before things get out of hand. i have 2 friends who use to do a lot of things with themselves because they were not happy with life and because they were jealous. i know jealous may not be your factor but the cutting is the one thing that is in Common. this is probably not very clear advice but you are just going to have to talk to someone. it's not healthy bottling everything up inside and taking it out on yourself the way that you are.

Hi honey. You are doing this because you need to be in control of something. You can control the amount of pain or damage that you do to yourself. You already know this is unhealthy behavior, you don't need my lecture. Many teens "cut" and eventually get help. Let's make sure that you are one of the ones that gets help and not just punished for misbehaving. I have experience with this personally from one of my daughters. Would you like to discuss this together with your parents with my help? Let me know how I can help you to get the truth out there. You are not a bad person, you are a good person with some unresolved issues. You can and will overcome this. Show your parents this answer, that might help broach the subject with them again, and understand that you don't have a lot of control over stopping this behavior on your own, either. Let's find a way, make a way to fix this, okay. Please get back in touch with me and let me know what I can do to help you further.
Dear Susie
