Give it time. Someimtes it's jsut s stage. But if not, there's nothing you can really do about it. It's an addictino and it's really hard to let go of. Just let her know that you'll always be there for her no matter what. Don't give her the ultimatu,, that'll probably make it worse.

Well, it's been almost a year, I hope that you've successfully talked your friend out of this cutting thing.

I don't see how cutting can relieve pain. Once, my tooth was loose and I was hurting emotionally and tested out the "physical pain relieves the emotional pain" hypothesis and everything just hurt more. Not only did I hurt emotionally, I hurt physically as well.

I'm not into physical pain that draws blood anyway. Physical pain scares me ph34r.gif

Well, it's scientifically proven to relieve stress by releasing endorphins. The same thing happens when you run or work out. So it's understandable, because it's easy. However that doesn't make it right. It's an unhealthy obsession. My friend used to cut herself all the time, and one time, she called me at like 11 p.m. and she was like, "URRGHH I really wanna do it. Ugh, it's soooo hard not to!!" And stuff... it's really a sad thing. I think the best thing to do would be to tell an adult. Maybe your friend needs counseling... Just a thought. That's what my friend did, and it really helped.

yea but people don't find any other way. Matters what kind of person it is if you really want to tell a adult.. Someone once did that and they went ahead and killed themselves.. mellow.gif

The whole idea of pain relieving by inflicting another pain, is, IMO, retarded. When you cut yourself...all your doing is opening yourself up to an unhealthy adiction. Sure, it may take away your MENTAL stress and MENTAL pain/frustration.. but in reality... it only makes your brain focus in on the pain from the wound...butfor what...30seconds?(depending on the depth ect) Then you are eventually going to come back to the state of being in which you were before you cut yourself which is confused and sad/mad or whatever it was.

Then because you've expeirenced the fact that cutting may relieve pain for a brief while...you begin to do it more and more and..more...which is BAD because it causes scars, tissue damage, and also social and family damage...considering the fact that nothing (no matter what you may think) can stay safe or hidden away forever. Eventually your parents..spouse, g/f or b/f, friend or bestfriend will find out...as well as kids and teachers at school...then socially you will be labled NO MATTER WHAT YOU SAY OR HOW MANY TIMS YOU DENY a freak or crazy person.

no i strongly feel cutting yourself is wrong.. there are other safer ways of dealing with emotional pain than hurting yourself..

i think you should gently try to get her to stop.. dont yell or anything... if things get out of hand.. or if this continues.. i think you should seek adult help.. yea i know you may seem like a looser and all.. and she may hate you for it.. but honestly.. this is a serious problem..
if she has problems that she cant deal with byherself.. maybe she can go seek professional help to find a better way of expressing her pain..

i understand what ur saying.

it is bad to cut. theres a lot more things to do to relieve pain. i mean she could hang with her friends... go to the movies... go for a walk... she doesn't have to hurt herself over it.

i really don't know what u should do tho... i mean u would think that a good friend would want what's best for their friend... but a good friend also respects their opinions and actions they choose to do.

maybe she's not worth it...?? idk. maybe lay low for a bit... or have her parents talk to her??

hopefully i helped... i don't really know what u should do... its a hard situation...

much love,

Cutting yourself.?.?.. yea , I've been there. Burning, too. relieves pain for a moment. but what about what comes after? you all know what I'm talking about. the pain covers the torment of life for only so long, then you're back in it. and all you want to do is cry. she needs to stop as soon as she can. it will get her nowhere.

You can't force her to stop.

She might just want attention.
But I don't know the situation completely..



yeah.. she might jus wants attention. but if not then i dont know i think you should have them "serious talks" with her.

Mmm ._. I think cutting's bad. It may get their pain out but after a while the cutting'll come back to hurt them. They could eventually end up in the hospital or just dead on their floor.

The closest I've come to cutting is shoving safety pins into my hands and wrist... that hurt pretty bad. I can't imagine cutting myself. _unsure.gif

i think its selfish and its just a way to get attention... honestly.. wait wait, its stupid... the entire emo population is immature. They are a bunch of kids that cry about things for no reason... all there problems are their own problems and they think about noone but themselves :/

I'm proud of you people.. I've never bumped into a forum where so many people think it's wrong. Only if more people realized it..

i know people who've done it, but it doesn't attract me. I've only self mutilated myself a few times, but it wasn't out of sadness or depression or pain. just curiousity and temptation

Cutting onself is like a slow suicide mad.gif mad.gif mad.gif

suicide - permanent relief from all pains...
cutting - temporary relief from some pains...

BUT I SAY BOTH OF THEM ARE WRONG...

To some people, it relieves the pain from some other pain they have. If they are heart broken and dont wanna feel hurt from that anymore, they cut themselves to get rid of that pain but the pain from the cut still hurts them.

I had that same problem w/ one of my friends... i told her she shouldn't do it and that there were so many people who cared about her. you could always try to scare her out of it too. tell her the conciquences... like cutting too deep or something. that works too.
suicide is a perminant solution for a temporary problem ...

People that cut themselves are simply seeking attention, nothing more.
