cutting? Options

[veryberri]

there are soo many of my friends that get soo depressed that they cut themselves constantly on their wrists..i think it`s reallyy dangerous but i can`t get through to them ..what do you guys think about people slitting their wrists?

[pbear]

Someone once explained to me a little bit of why they cut.
They said:

It's a way for me to express my feelings.
I hurt so much, but there's never anyone to help me.
Sometimes I cut just to make sure I'm still alive.
To see the blood dripping from my wrist- that tells me that I'm still living in this hell.

So I can't say I haven't gotten through to people who cut.
I just don't know exactly how to help.

[WildGriffin]

I guess some people like to see themselves bleed.

I wouldn't ever cut though, all those nasty scars..and it can't be good for you. And that's pretty pathetic that they mutilate themselves under the guise of "depression". Depression doesn't make you cut yourself, but it's a good way to become and stay depressed. Losers.

[Pyr0Penguin]

it's true , cutting is bad for you but sometimes you can't help it and usually once you start you can't really stop anymore and it takes a lot of self motivation to stop .. kinda like smoking

[xjjajeengx]

well, i used to... erm... but i regret it alot. i guess i did it before cause i was like half retarded half enjoying it tho. i ono, maybe its just me, but it felt kinda good(?) cause its like... i ono okay. but i think some people just do it for attention while others its like a serious thing. for me, it was just like, i cut, laugh, hide it. its retarded, and i hated it when people would go like "omg why did you do that" i would be like stfu, its my f**king buisness. but thass just me. others just like cry when you ask them. some will start b!!ching at you. some will be like "oh..." and yea. -_-x

[rOckThISshYt]

well, i slit my wrists too. umm.... well, i got into this fight at school cuz of this thing that this kid said to me, which was the main reason i cut myself. and well, when they found out the actual reason that i cut myself (they didn't know that i did cut myself) they sent me to the guidence councler. basicly i told her my whole depressing life story and i told her and showed her my wrists. i knew my parents were going to find out, but i knew i needed help before it got worse. she took me to the nurse. she called my dad and told him so i wouldn't have to tell him and then she told my mom. i'm going to see a theropist on monday. i know it will be good for me. and i will stop cutting. i hadn't for month until that kid braught back memories and put me back through my depression. i have four cuts on my wrists and one scar. then i have a scar on my forearm because when i told and showed my friend about the cut a couple months ago, she said she'd tell my bro if i didn't stop so i knew that she could easily see it on my wrists so i did it on my forearm. i know i need help and now i'm finaly getting it. but the proboblem isn't only what happened in school, it starts from when i was a baby. so it's going to take a while to fully 'heal' myself. i duno. its a turn for the better. but the part that started from when i was a baby has to do with my mom and i told her that and she denies it. she just doesn't get it. she's a bitch and now i'm in a huge fight with her. i'm staying with my dad for a while. my parents are divorsed and i can't stand my mom for now, so... whatever!

It's a way for me to express my feelings.
I hurt so much, but there's never anyone to help me.
Sometimes I cut just to make sure I'm still alive.
To see the blood dripping from my wrist- that tells me that I'm still living in this hell.

that's kinda how i feel. i don't know if i'm still like living this unbarable thing, or if it's only a dream. i don't like the pain, but it makes me feel light and takes the pain from the real world. but it leaves scars to help remember the bad times...

[poisonedxivy]

i guess thats their way of coping with stress. even so, they know you disapprove. and if they've been doing this for a long time, they also know the dangers. its kinda like any other "addiction" ... you can't get them to stop once the realize how wrong it is themselves, and even then they're the ones that wanna have to stop doing it. just tell them that you're worried about them and that you don't approve but you're always there to help them, or there for them to vent if they ever need someone. thats about all you can do without interfering with their choices =\

They're stupid.

okay... normaly i like you... but alot of the time people cut themselves is because of PEOPLE LIKE YOU!!!! i mean, i started because tons of people like ganged up on me. not at one time, but i mean like people would always make fun of me. not for that, but eventualy after that, i cut myself. so please don't make fun of them because that probobly means that things are going wrong for them, and you making fun of them is just one more thing that they have to worry about. so please just don't be like an uncaring bastard like you are being by making fun of people like that. i mean, you don't know what it's like to be them, and that might be their only way to cope... at least as far as they know. and i was just wondering... WHAT GOOD DOES IT DO YOU OR ANYONE ELSE TO MAKE FUN OF SOMEONE?!?!?!?! I MEAN, WHAT'S THE F*CKING POINT???? i just wanted to let you know, that people like you and people who make fun of others leave scars even deeper... in the heart and soul. that's what happened to me. so i guess i tried to bring the scars closer to the surface and i started cutting myself. well, please stop! grrr....

[mouse_3k]

well coming from a cutters view (me), theres a few reasons. for me, i do it because i think everything is my fault so i punish myself and it also releives my emotional stress . I am on recovery now but i mean its not necessarly dangerous. only if u go down too deep, then its dangerous. i only break the skin and let out a few drops of blood. no biggy. som reasons are

-They hate something about themselves
-Releives them from depression or emtional problems
-They feel guilty for everything so they punish themselves
-They want to be in control (they can choose not to cut or cut)
-It can be a scream for help
-It can be for attention/trying to be cool (such a stupid reason but its true)

but yah these are the basic reason(s) why we cut ourselfs. all i can give to u is just give the company and tell them your there. just try being with them and taking them out to a amusment park or just chillin at home or somethin. keep their mind away from it. it will eventually have them forget about it....


its wht my bf did to me and it worked

thats not right...making fun of them is the last thing u should do...

i think its just as wrong to cut yourself as it is to cut someone else.....

this girl i kno (not my friend) courtney, cuts her face, not her wrist and i think she does it for attention....

That ends up being one of the reasons they end their life Jose. People who laugh, people who sneer, people who make fun of them. Life is already bad enough and more people have to make it worst for you.

I've never cut myself before. But I have a few friends who do. It's a way to release everything. It's a way to speak those unspoken words. It's a way to cry, without the falling of tears.

There are people, like me, who don't tell others stuff. People who keep everything inside and suffer by themself. Some choose to cut themself to feel better. The pain that they feel makes them feel good, feel whole. And others just cry in their sleep. I do the latter.

[X serenity]

i know this person who cuts themself, and you can see the scars all over her arms . she said she does it, because she's "depressed". then someone told her to stop, and she did. to relieve her depression now, she works out

[xtremeliquid]

One of my friend did that once.

okay that was wrong. people cut to let out their anger//sorrow or whatever. its their way of dealing with pain and stuff. and making fun of them for it isnt going to help or make them stop. it will most likely make it worse. once upon a time when i used to cut [i stoped. havent cut for about a month and a half!! wee!] and these guys at school would always make fun of me and call me stupid and retarded for doing it. but they didnt know how i felt. they didnt have to feel some of the pain i felt. and they jus made me wanna cut more. yeah..iunno. but you really shouldnt make fun of them.their life is bad enough without people like you making it worse...

[white_gurl4rompr]

i think cuttin is bad my friend does it because all the stress we have to put up with at school we have to get 85 or over or else we get kicked out of the sp program im a cutter my self but dont get caught

[pimpin231]

i think that cutting your self is hella stupid

[white_gurl4rompr]

because of people like u i do it because of u i cut my self just now

[pimpin231]

sorry

[white_gurl4rompr]

pimpin231 ur a real ass

[pimpin231]

thanks

[white_gurl4rompr]

its alright my cut will heal

[xInSaNiTaTiOnx]

yea my friend cuts herself, she has all these scars and stuff. she wrote an essay for class about it too, something about it takes away the pain of everything else and it makes her feel alive or something. you shouldn't make fun of people like that sometimes that's what makes them go more extreme, like suicidal.
you know what, you guyz should read the book cut, it tells you a lot about it and how people feel about it.


i cut myself once, daym it hurt... now i just cry...

[L00d]

it has to be one of the stupidest things imaginable that you can do to yourself. call me ignorant or whatever you want that's just my opinion on it. none of my friends do it and if they did i'd have to kick their ass...

[flyin_HAWAiiAN]

i dont cut but i know people who do. most of the time its because they think they dont have anyone to turn to so the last thing you should do is make fun of them. i finally got my friend to stop hurting herself by being there for her.

[RiddleMeWonders]

I cut between my lower arm and my elbow.
I can't control my life. I can't control my weight, my grades, or my friends.
I don't smoke a pack a day, I'm not an alcoholic.
I'm a nice person, and I am generally happy to the public eye.

What do you think......

[x0 sweetsorrow]

because of people like u i do it because of u i cut my self just now

hmm. thanx for advertising it. not many people do that....

....but pimpin231 dont go sayn its stupid. cos that really doesnt help.

[hybrid]

I cut myself once.. and I'm willing to try again.. not really.

Just that.. life isn't going so well.

[*jooleeah*]

ANQEL_R0H DID THAT BEFORE!! SHE WAS TRYING TO CUT HERSELF WITH THE KITCHEN KNIFE WHEN SHE WAS IN 6TH GRADE

what was that all about...

umm...i have never cut myself. i would never do it....i dunno. that's not my way of expressing my feelings.

[vivieeeen]

i used to cut. hehe what a common line... but it's true. i never told anyone about it. since i don't swim or wear shorts or do watever that shows the scars
then, my really close girlfriend started cutting her arms.
and somehow, i just got so upset and worried and hurt that i stopped myself all together. then persuaded her to stop and she did~

*beams* it's what other people show they care, that depressed people can get better

[rabidchicken]

If you're depressed and cutting yourself, what's the point? Because:
1.) You're STILL depressed
2.) You're left with horrible scars
3.) You're in pain AND depressed.

So you see, nothing good comes out of it.

I used to, and I had no idea how much I was hurting my new friends. I was going through this period of great depression where I was being tormented by everyone. I was trying to kill myself, and it was sort of killing the people who loved me. Recently, my classmates and friends have been cutting themselves and I lay awake at night crying my eyes out with worry. Please, don't cut yourself. I bet of you.

[rabidchicken]

I think there's no point

I used to cut myself because everyone was tormenting me, my family was going through a bunch of crap and I just wanted to die. I had no idea how much I was hurting my (real) friends. Now I know, because recently, my classmates and friends have been cutting themselves and I've been lying awake at night crying my ass off with worry. I beg of you, please do not cut yourself. You have your whole life ahead of you, and cutting yourself is no way to cope.

[SHADiE_babiee]

at one point .. in my life .. i did cut .. nd it hurt soo much .. i was soo pressured .. i didn like it .. i was so used to having things so easy .. i started cuttin at age 10 .. that was 3 years agoo .. i stopped just last week .. `=) .. nd now i feel proud to sey that i smartened uhp nd realized how valuable life is .. iL0VELiFE !!

[darkcoldplace]

i think they should seek help or stop, ive seen it before it just gets worse from the starting point.

[angel-roh]

heh... i tried to cut myself too cus i was so mad.. i was so depressed too... heh i was kinda cutting myself with a kitchen knife... and then good thing my door was unlocked...my home gurls stopped me and i had to go to the hospital because it was bleeding a lot.

[call_her_misery]

yes i am a cutter, and i've been trying to stop.
i've been cutting for awhile, and unlike what everyone thinks..
some cutters dont cut themselves because they want to kill themselves
its the way they cope with stress/pain etc.
not a way they express themselves.
its a disease, and some do it for attention, and out of pressure

i cut, and yes, sometimes i think its stupid and i regret it..
but thats how i deal with my pain
and so far, the only thing i can control in my life is my pain.
i'm left with scars, but it reminds me what i've put myself through

there were many times that my parents and the school wanted to send me to the hospital
or get some help...
but not yet, because i dont think anyone will understand if they start accusing you of things
and looking at you in a different way
so for all you people who think its stupid
believe me, it is, but try to understand

[dani41790]

well umm i cut maiself once. i guess it waz cuz i waz soooo depressed at that point.

[*CJ1*]

I think the best way to get rid of cutting is to just be friends with the person before it starts. Most people do that because they don't have a friend to talk to about their situation.

[177emories]

awww whats losers hurtting themself MORE form getting hurt... lalalala i would enever cut myself... but to help? you really can't, they do it for their own reason and if they want to tehir not gonna listen especially when they are at a depressed mood

[hybrid]

Hmm, I suppose. When your depressed there's nothing much you really can do about it. To many of us, it might seem as if its idiotic to cut yourself to release pain inside but to many it might be the only way to heal themselves inside.. may not look pretty on the outside but I bet it feels good inside.

[immersion31]

well, i never cut myself befor. i always try to look at the righter side so i dont get too depressed

[darkangel]

they do it because they want to let the bad stuff out. they say it makes them feel better about themselves. thats kinda strange O.o

[hybrid]

well, i never cut myself befor. i always try to look at the righter side so i dont get too depressed

That's great! Never cut yourself. Its not right. Instead of cutting youself, visit createblog instead! We will get you out of depression in no time!

[pbear]

Hm...one of my friends has started to cut.
It's rather horrifying to see her arms.
Therapy doesn't work for her.
So she just keeps doing it.

I feel so helpless.

As a friend, I would keep her active in her social life. That way she won't have to cut herself. Try to convince her. Tell her that there's so many things to relieve stress and stuff.

I did just that.

She only started to cut more, convinced I was trying to force her to be an active member in society.
And she desperately hates conformity.

Or something like that...

[triipinfserious]

i`ve never cut before but my friend mike has ... it`s kinna scary )=

[JessJR1022]

One of my really close friends used to cut herself. It's a way that she found to get rid of the pain that she had in her life. She was really depressive. IN then end, someone called the cops on her and she had a lot to go through with that and was told if it happened again there would be worse consequences. So she went to a dr and stopped....she got help.....most people just need someone there for them

[juliar]

Alot of times, that person doesn't have anyone for them. I have a friend who would carve the initials of any girl who let him down on his wrists.

[illmizzkim]

ANQEL_R0H DID THAT BEFORE!! SHE WAS TRYING TO CUT HERSELF WITH THE KITCHEN KNIFE WHEN SHE WAS IN 6TH GRADE

That's a really smart thing to put out there.
Anyway, don't get on the backs of the people who say that cutting is stupid. Because, it is true. It is pretty stupid if you think about it. But, don't get on my back either. I started cutting myself in 8th grade. My self esteem was so low, and I was in and out of depression from 8th grade .. and I'm pretty sure I'm getting back into it again. I would cut myself everytime I "f**ked things up" to remind myself of how much a dumbass I was... so I could physically feel the pain that was going on in my heart. But then it got worse. I had scars all over my arms, I had nowhere else to cut, so it led to taking pills. Lots and lots of pills--whatever I had in my medicine cabinet. This led to me being admitted in the hospital for a couple days, and now my liver is f**ked up. It's so f**ked up that I'm on more pills now to regulate it and I can't consume any kind of other pills.. Can't take tylenol, and can't drink alcohol at all. There are much better ways than cutting yourself to relieve stress or deal with your pains. You really dont want it to get as far as it did with me. You really don't want to have the burden of thinking that.. if you slip one more time your life might be on the line again. Please.. just to let you guys all know that there are much better ways than cutting yourself. Cutting doesn't help at all. Even though there are times when you feel so tempted to cut yourself (as I have for the past 2 months), don't do it. It's not healthy..

[visualfusion]

Actually, letting out a bit of blood once in a while is healthy. Before, the "ancient" people used to use leeches to suck out blood... which is ... suppose to purify it? (Slap me if I'm wrong) *gets slapped*

[ul0vejoy]

well, i used to... erm... but i regret it alot. i guess i did it before cause i was like half retarded half enjoying it tho. i ono, maybe its just me, but it felt kinda good(?) cause its like... i ono okay.

yea... my friend said it felt relieving to cut herself..
i dont think it was necessarily a "happy" good.. but it just.. felt.. "good" compared to the other things she was feeling at the time.

[ref_inn_ej]

i think ppl cutting wrist are ppl who hide all their emotions inside
they should find a trusting person to tell them their feelings... its just too much to keep
my friend used to cut her wrist cuz she had lots of ppl against her style
i spent time toking to her and then she eventually stopped...
i dunno.. ppl shouldnt cut their wrists.. ><
they make me cry

[Blueiyzboy]

I heard in Biology that people do it in bathtubs so the water keeps the cut open so it wont close...and they turn off the lights so they wont be afraid... I could never think of doing that ever....just to gorry for me... I hate to say it if I was going to do that stuff to kill your self I would find other means, there is no excuse for killing your self...personally I beleive when you are born, that there is a gene that determines your mental status...such as in pysco and suicidal...my Friend tried killing her self and I LUCKILY stopped her...cause I was there at the time. She is all good now.

[*jeanna*]

it's true , cutting is bad for you but sometimes you can't help it and usually once you start you can't really stop anymore and it takes a lot of self motivation to stop .. kinda like smoking

i totally agree 100%. i cant stop.

- Chinkieeyedpnoi

lmao!!! jose ur crazy man. butyeah, cutters are scary tome.. ive done it before.. and i hated it. its something i will never do again. i mean, i dont see that point. some peopletell me its a way to set themselves "free", but to me, its the quickets route to death because if you can cut urself.. u got the balls to stab urself...

[*jeanna*]

awww whats losers hurtting themself MORE form getting hurt... lalalala i would enever cut myself... but to help? you really can't, they do it for their own reason and if they want to tehir not gonna listen especially when they are at a depressed mood

wow you are stubborn. what are you like 11? "lalalal i would never cut myself" just wait. when your world comes crashing down and no one can pull you out of the hell hole, you'll reach for anything for comfort. so don't diss on cutters.

[*tweeak*]

well dont defend them either. there are ways to solve problems other than hurting yourself. you may be one, but that doesnt make it ok. you try to stop, because you know its not good. you can feel sympathy for cutters because of what they must be going through to do that, but you dont defend the fact that they cut

[*jeanna*]

i... just.. dont want people thinking they are stupid or anything. because sadly im a cutter and um.. i dont do drugs or anything.. i.. just dont want little girls thinking cutters are maniacs who are going to kill you in your sleep.

[jambaJUICE]

people that cut sometimes are overexaggerating
sometimes people cut, because they want attention
or cause they think their life is a living hell, and listen to all this music, thats saying CUT MY THROAT LET ME BLEED, yadda yadda

music effects your life
although it should be, GOD affects ur life.*
*but.. that doesnt mean u`ll go to hell if u dont believe in him

so cough cough.

EDIT.
although, i don't believe in cutting. i have
i without a doubt, would never do it again because i know better, and i've found other ways to cope with things. and and.. inthemudhole im also sick of those OMG I LUV LYFE people as well

Well.
I'm not going to lie.
I have cut myself before.
It's not something that I'm proud of, I guess.
I don't go around showing everyone my scars.

WHAT SHE SAID!

I've cut before. But it's not like addicting. Just sometimes, when I get REALLY depressed, I do. Mehh....it doesn't hurt to me


As for helping...even though your friend might make you promise to not tell anyone, you're gonna have to break your promise, cuz that's a really serious topic

[*jeanna*]

::sigh:: don't remind me emoxscreamo. i have to tell my phy. [doctor] about my cutting. i dont know what is going to happen. i have it on wednesday. OH SHIT. i just realized it was that many days away and last night i cut. oh no. im screwed. :::double sigh::: ahhh! $#@#$%$# #$%$#@% damn. im so screwed. i will probably end up in a straight jacket..

[pink_tootsie]

its a way for them to release their feelings but however you need to get help for them before it gets dangerous..

[inthemudhole]

Not everyone's gets out of hand.
Hell.
Most just want freaking attention. >_<
I never tell anyone. ;x

[Heathasm]

thell them if they do it enough their wrists will start to rought and fall off

[sunissed14127]

ive thought about cutting,but then i saw what this girl inmy school went thru from cutting & i decided not to.

[mouse_3k]

I think its bad but then again i shouldnt be talking..tht will make me a hypocrit -_-

[dreamerOi]

i say its pretty bad& all but ALMOST everyone does it. most people dont know who. sometimes its the least likely. but people do it. or they think about it. but yea as mouse_3k said that would make me a hypocrit for saying its bad

[DrEaMgUy2K1]

u cant really do anything but just try to convince them not to,and then they most likely wont listen to you, if things get real bad like their suicidal and their parents dont already know, tell their parents.... thats pretty much all u can do.

[PinkTrash]

I dunno, making fun of them isnt that good. I mean theyve probably been through some serious shit, and thats not cool to do so anywayy.. i dont know, is it a form of easy suicide? or iunno how the pain nessicarily helps them really, but i cant stand bloood >.<

[sweetxsimplicity]

Yeah, I read some articles about teens who were really depressed, so just slit their wrists.
..Why their wrists? Why not any other part?!

[cyber]

two of my friends do that. one of them jus started once and she cant stp, the other1 got her started and she has been doing it for a couple of years and ppl have tried to convince her to stop and she wont listen. her dad and 2 families and her pastor tried to talk to her and she hasnt stopped. the one that jus started havent been doing it for 3 weeks now and she said that she is trying to stop 4 good. but i dont know what to do...i havent done it...so yeah...

[dreamerOi]

Yeah, I read some articles about teens who were really depressed, so just slit their wrists.
..Why their wrists? Why not any other part?!

some people do the arms, legs thighs everywer. pretty weird. plus if you slit your wrists deep enough you can end up in the hosp or maybeee even die but thats if you can cut the entire vein itself or seomthing. so yea

[J.K]

some girl at my school slit her wrist in the bathroom. it wasnt pretty...and she ended up at a mental asylum O_o..
-J.K

[melface]

If you're depressed... get on meds instead of cutting yourself... it's a lot better if you're on meds, really.

[imm]

Honestly, I think it's effing stupid. Seriously, more than half the people who cut themselves do it to make people think they're "cool". I mean, how is self-mutilation cool? The other part actually have some kind of disorder e.g. bipolar and such.

[faithin_felix]

i think it is stupid. if your hurt go punch a locker or something. like my friend says physical pain hurts more than emotional pain. GO BRUISE UR KNUCKLES! it's better than slitting the wrist.

[x emo screamo x]

some people do the arms, legs thighs everywer. pretty weird. plus if you slit your wrists deep enough you can end up in the hosp or maybeee even die but thats if you can cut the entire vein itself or seomthing. so yea

If you cut down instead of across you'd loose blood quicker and you'll have a greater risk of hitting a vein.

[smthngcrprategrl...]

like you can't just force them not to cut but just let them know you care. i mean i cut but am trying to stop. to me it doesn't hurt it's just kinda lik addicting. but yeah my friend pulled me aside and told me how much my cutting scared him and how he wanted me to stop. to me that's more motivation to stop.

[azn_r4pf4n]

some girl at my school slit her wrist in the bathroom. it wasnt pretty...and she ended up at a mental asylum O_o..

whoahh... cutting urself... eh, i dont like doin that kind of stuff.. it hurts badly, but some pplz use it as a way to relive depression. it just gets more addictive, and it doesnt work. dont do it, trust me

Cutting is so sad....

[xj_liana_tx]

my friend once cut her arm, and like she engraved words "fuk life" on it.. i had a picture of it but now i ve got to find it.. well.. i guess its just one of thes times when we r down

[LivinInTheShadow...]

i'm not getting the cutting thing. why do people do it? i'm not trying to be mean but i just want to know why they do it? please answer me back.

[_sarcastic_]

ppl want to do it maybe because, they're angry at sth, pissed of at parents, under stress etc etc. and they wnat to get rid of that pain. so i guess they resolve to cutting themselves

i think

[Gypsy Eyes]

there have been a million topics on this.. but to answer your question people have different reasons for doing it. Some do it to relieve some pain, or to take out anger. Others do it because they feel that there is no hope (normally suffering from some sort of chronic depression). But there are many other reason, its generally different for each person.

i hope that answered your question. Next time please try to look for past topics on the topic before you post it

[LivinInTheShadow...]

okay i think that pretty much clears it. but if anyone else has anything els to say please say it

[vickiwang123]

Well, ppl get frustrated and mad in there lives...and sumtimes they just can't stand it, so they hurt themselves to let the pain get out...and it's not a bad thing to do. And ppl shouldn't really tell a friend or anytone about it, because that person can tell sumone and u can end up being in a institution! and its juss a way of expressing youself. most cutters are punks, sk8ter punks, goths, or metal..they mostly express themselves in a way

[monkigurl77]

A lot of my friends do that. It freaks me out, like if they will do that what will stop them from going further? I get mad and fusterated ad like want to pull out my hair but sometimes it is out of my control and hurting myself won't make it better.

[ilauqh]

i would never cut myself. id make myself throw up before id cut myself. i think it hurts too much for me to ever do it.

[elaboratedream]

eh, don't worry about it. It's not dangerous really. It helps people deal with emotions and in some cases, it's the only thing that keeps them alive. besides that, it's an addiction and really hard to stop.

I cut... I've been diagnosed with depression... it sucks.

You know what the logical solution to cutting is? Don't.

I swear, I don't understand people at all. You can cause your own depression. And I mean really, cutting is obviously not going to help anything. It's only causing yourself more problems.

You know, cutting has only really become an issue because of the media telling you not to do it, but they give reasons why people do. So stupid, impressionable people read it, think, hey, I have those problems too so I'll give it a try, and then you miss the entire point of it. Teenagers are rebellious. By nature, many are going to contradict common sense and do dumb things just because they're told not to. Don't fall into the trap. Be smarter than the average moron. (this has nothing to do with grades or how smart you think you are. just be smart and make good decisions because it's idiots like you who cause adults to think that teenagers don't deserve any real rights...anyway, I'll save the rant, just don't be dumb. Cutting is dumb, so don't do it. Yeah. There.)

[ichiban]

sometimes i feel like cutting, like when i'm just pissed off at everything around me and i'm in that little depression mood .. but i'm scared of blades and sharp objects so i don't do it, and plus it hurts like a motherrrr.

[*tweeak*]

But does it not occur to you that it cannot possibly make anything better?

[actionaction]

i did a few times..

honestly, i did it for attention.

and its stupid too, now that i think of it. it didnt "make the pain go away" or "help me to be sure i was alive" honey, wanna know if youre alive? take a breath.

i think people juss make up reasons theyre too ashamed to admit that theyre doing it for attention.

but whatever, i have no simpathy for people who cut.

sorry, you can say whatever you want but thats my opinion.

[elaboratedream]

But does it not occur to you that it cannot possibly make anything better?

it makes you feel better. Maybe it's the endorphin rush, or maybe it's that it's redirection of pain or it's the release of it... or maybe I just like pain like that... I don't know what it is, but it makes you feel better...

but warning to all of you who think that you want to start this: once you start its hard to stop. Once you make that first cut, you're trapped. You won't believe me of course. You won't believe me that it's addicting. If you're already thinking of cutting, chances are you know someone who cuts or have heard about ppl who cut. and you'll never think you'll be as bad as the next person. You'll think that you can stop. You'll think that the addiction will never happen to you. I was like you. I thought that. And, like everyone who thinks that, I was wrong. Once you make the first cut you're sent on a downward spiral... and you may never get back up.

anywho, had to rant there... but believe me, the best thing to do when you have a friend who cuts is to let you know that you're there for them. Don't say it like that though. Just treat them like you would any other friend and make sure that they know that you luv them. Don't tell them that they should stop. I mean, you can say it every once in awhile, and sometimes point out some problems with it, but chances are, they know it already... but they can't stop as easily as you think
