cutting yourself... Options

[sailornaruru]

HHm....my friend started cutting herself and im woried
She says that she does it to relieve her paine and suffereing, but i dunno, I've tried cutting myself before, and it hurt, so i stopped and to me, it doesn't relieve pain [IT HURTS]

I want herto stop, but she said that shewants to keep doing it because it makes her feel batter


Should i back off and let her do it? [im sorta backing off right now] but i still want her to stop

I think its bad to cut..what do ya'll think? And Do you guys think i should back off and let her do it?

[DrEaMgUy2K1]

u cant really tell her to stop, u gotta tell her how U feel, and u gotta know why she does it, and then after a while she feels comfortable talking to u about it u should suggest some other method to relieve pain

[c0nfus3dmisfit]

sometimes when i used to feel really mad or really overemotional i'd cut myself - a kind of outlet i guess. in a way it was a transfer of emotional pain - something that isnt expressed very easily - to something physical that could be felt and seen. does that make sense? i wasnt exactly a serious cutter - never got to a point where it was really bad. but i stopped because my friends kept talking to me about it. so...keep talking to your friend...tell her how you feel about it and everything

[inthemudhole]

You can't force her to stop.

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

[ryfitaDF]

cutting yourself to relieve pain is like going to war for peace, which is like f***ing for virginity. it doesn't make sense.

make her stop being so stupid and find more productive ways of relieving pain. seriously. what could be so bad that she has to risk her life to do somthing she only thinks feels good and doesn't help her or anyone? tell her to suck it up and take it like evryone else has to.

hehe. i just kinda flipped out a little

[dani41790]

yea i think its wrong but i kinda dont noe...

[yeseulx3]

my friend used to cut herself as well, and i asked her why she did it.
she said, "it reminded me that i'm alive."


i don't talk to that girl anymore. seriously, she has problems.

anyways for your friend, if it's really serious, then you should get help. try to talk to her first and understand what she's going through.

[mouse_3k]

no its not ok. it could kill u so of course its not ok (i use to cut, call me a hippocrit w/e itsa still wrong)

[Alpha240]

cutting is a way to redirect the pain your feeling inside to a physical pain, which is relieving because you forget your emotional pain. I think cutting is a destructive way to relieve your temporary problems. you should talk to her... it's usually a phase some people go through but if it's not she might become suicidal.

[Devastation]

wow. seek help.

[WildGriffin]

I hate how people try to seperate "emotional" and "physical" pain. It's all pain, one isnt better then the other..both need to be treated accordingly. Replacing emotional pain with physical pain doesnt help the overall "sum of pain"..if you get what im saying.

You're just kinda...shifting it around for no good reason.

[ryfitaDF]

shyte, son. "sum of pain"! theres a song in there somwhere *runs off to write the song "sum of pain"*

[xsweetdreams12x]

Tell her parents.
This is serious, and she could end up in the hospital if it goes too far.

[XxBeExOHxX]

tell her ull help her by slapping her, and wen she complains say ur helping her cause pain to herself. that'll teach her. slap her hard, and if u must, sock her. then threaten to kick her in the shins, hard.

[boobooxpp]

well, people say that it "relieves pain" BECAUSE, when yu cut yourself, your not thinking about the pain yu had before BUT yu think about the pain yu have NOW xP so that means, she fergets the problems + pain she had earlier cuz she just cut herself and all she could think about is her bleeding arm =.=
BUT SERIOUSLY...it's like your friends smoking, drinking, doing drugs, etc. if yu tell them to stop cuz yu dunt want them getting hurt, they won't listen. but tell her wat yu think and mayb she'll get better :]
there's always a punching bag ^^

[anger_is_my_frie...]

first talk to her as a friend, not a parent. tell her that you care about her and you don't want her ending up hurt, and if she can't listen and still does it, talk to her parents or a counselor.

[x0143637x0]

friends dont let friends hurt themselves. if your a friend yooh should realli stop her. do whatever yooh can cuz shes hurting herself by cutting. its not doing anything for her except for losing blood and leaving marks.

[talentedbabe04]

yea. what they all said lol.. just talk to her about it and let her know you care. she may be doing it because of a guy. a friend. or anything. and shes cutting herself to suposedly(however you spell it.) make it better.tell her if something is upsetting her or something is going wrong or whatever that she can always go to you to talk to. dont let her cut herself . that hurts my stomach when i hear that

[Behbi_Simplicity]

I used to cut myself. Just to let you know, friends pressured me to stop but their pressuring just made me want to do it more. Don`t yell at your friend and tell them negetive stuff to make them feel bad. That`s very bad. I don`t do it for attention, i just found it a way to take away my emotional pain.

[Yemmerz]

Emotional pain and physical pain is the same ish. So you really can't say that you escape one to go to the other.

Anyhoo, you should tell her parents.

[iheartsimba]

[liddoxaznxkevin]

cuttings awesome

[sporadic]

Cutting yourself is a no-no

[sweetdreamsx3]

Sometimes you really have to let go of the pain..Maybe she just doesn't want to cry...so cutting relieves everything. My guy friend is like that, but he promised me he won't cut if I don't cut. (I don't cut at all. Never did), but I really wanted him to stop...

[italianpride1830]

you cant force her to stop but id really express my feelings to her telling her ur worried for her and stuff like that..but maybe shes just cutting her self becuz of emotional feelings..Love..Broken Family maybe?
you should really try finding out whats up with her thought

[cutielilsuga]

i think no one should be cutting themselves no matter how bad the situation is

[hybrid]

Remember; Friends don't let other friends get hurt.

If she's your real friend, she will listen to you. Tell her to stop and she's just giving herself more damage than what she really is doing deep down. Or.. you can always treat her out or something, just keep her away from being alone. Does your friend do it in front of you?

[sailornaruru]

thnx you guys i will tlak to her more and i'll tell her if shes depressed, why doesnt she just eat ice cream or sumthing?

thnx everyone ^_^

[Angel_Cece]

its NOT Ok and u shud talk 2 her if she wont listen tell sum1 cuttin yurself is serious... reely

[sheepy]

its wrong its wrong. if u want to let go of pain, you go find help or something else. cutting urself doesnt solve the prob of wuts causing ur pain.

[Levy2k6]

i think cutting yourself is wrong. and ppl should stop doing it. it would stop against infection and u probaly would live longer than u would if u cut urself...

[nyCzxfOx]

i've stopped =x because if you think outside the box.. its stupid.. and just like doing basically to get attention and to get yourself into trouble -__-;; and its no fun and.. the eating ice cream thing was one thing to stop me from cutting

[is2diexd]

Yea i think you should back off.. because the more you tell her not to do it, she might just be doig it more to get attention.


or there are just some of those masochistic people.. (I personally am interested in those people) who like the pain~ or whatever.. haha

[sheddingtears]

Yeah, my friend cuts herself, and she says it's for emotional stability. I don't wanna cut myself no matter how emotionally hurt I get because I'd hate to do that to my body since seeing my own blood frightens me.

[Devastation]

its wrong

[AUTHENTIC x ME]

I use to cut and i use to say the same thing. But i realized i was hurting myself and the people around me. The cuts are now scars. I still have them on my wrist today, I use to cut myself on my thighs too. I still do it sometimes.

[captivatedheart]

it's not a really good way to relieve the pain/stress/etc. i learned my lesson.

[XxaznskoolgurlxX]

there are a lot of pplz that cut themselvez..they all have different reasonz...i have friendz that cut themselvez too...but they all say that it helpz them cope with something...if u really care about her then try to talk to her about her problemz...or help her find a different way of releasing the pain....

[XoChristiangirl2...]

[FONT=Arial][SIZE=7][COLOR=blue]
as her friend you need to talk to her being that i was a cutter for a while i know how it feelsand you normally only end up cutting if you are in great emotional pain she probably feels alone and needs some one to talk to just to vent most of the time cuttign is the only options cutters see to vent but give her a healthy outlet let her talk with you and if you see fit then give her some help she will end up cutting deeper the more she cuts the more you cut the more you need to feel pain to relieve stress and surface cuts became not a enough very quick just be her friend thats all you can really do good luck let me know how she is doing

[*evdxgirl*]

When ppl cut themselves, their brain releases a kind of chemical called endorphins, which makes the person FEEL GOOD. ..At least that's what I heard.

Cutting might lead to other things. Suicide? o_O hope not.

[prettixinpunk]

um yeah...dont force her.. i cutt myself.. i hated it when i told a friend..and she tole people..and then...people were tellin me to stop..i mean...us cutters will stop @ our own time. i`ve tried therapy..it didnt work. so dont waste money...
but u can tell her..for advice..which my friends always told me..
CRY dont CUT
l0l even though i dont follow that... LMAO

[XxBeExOHxX]

help her out by cutting her wen shes cutting herself. i see nothing wrong with that.

[nevermind]

I did it before...NOT COOL! I found other ways to relieve stress

*Writing in a journal

*excercising

*running in circles with a SpongeBob plush toy screaming IM READY!! (LOL)

*laughing

(laughing releases a chemical which relieves stress)


lets see...laughing....or big bloody gashes that leave scars... I think I'll go with laughing.

[whywasisostupid]

i cut myself once. i was really depressed in 5th grade cuz i wasnt cool enuf or wutever. i wasnt bewautiful and i didnt have nice stuff cuz my faamily was realy poor. iw as really lame in elemntary, then i moved cuz we culd live in a better place now and i got prettier,taler, my body was more shaped into a nice feminen body and i liked myself cuz i have alot of god traits from my parents. :) so then i remember back then and i know its wrong. never cut urself, the future is bright.

[DavidxN]

cutting is for ppl that need attention, usually the losers that have no friends and eat alone at lunch, and parents work all the time so they can't spend time with the kid...so give yer friend more attention or something

[braggtastic]

People who cut themselves obviously don't care about how much it hurts, the possible infections or the possible death... those 3 things are the reason they are doing it... plus to get attention.
Clinical Studies have already proven stuff like that to be a subconscious plea for attention from those whom the "cutter" cares about but thinks the person to not care about them [either directly or indirectly].
The only way to get your friend to stop is to get beneath the skin (no pun intended) and show this person that you do and other people do really care... no bull crap though, you must go beyond words and actually be a friend to this person... be around them, give them words of encouragement, call them randomly and let them know you were thinking about them... just try and not be stalker-esque about it.

[heyyfrankie]

u cant really tell her to stop, u gotta tell her how U feel, and u gotta know why she does it, and then after a while she feels comfortable talking to u about it u should suggest some other method to relieve pain

i agree with him! but cutting yourself really isn't safe.

[Suesterrx]

totally wrong.. waaay wrong.. i kno some ppl think cutting urself is pain relieving but the more scars u make.. the more stress it brings. it only brings relief for a moment then it dissapears and then u hav ppl on ur butt if they find out. i never cut myself and im darn proud

[DavidxN]

its pain relieving because they're getting attention, braggtastic is right, it is a clinical study that shows its a plea for attention

[XxBeExOHxX]

KILL THEM AND EAT THEM

[maliitashun]

Cutting is for EMO kids.













































I was emo once.

[XxBeExOHxX]

wats emo. sounds like a messed up brand of clothes

[braggtastic]

emo is short for emotional.

hence emo music and all the crying.

peace

[Melissa_gulick]

i use 2 do it,, its not good.. i got so into it that e very day id find bigger thi ngs to cut myself with,, till the point that i almost died.. it does relive pain it takes your mind off everything that is bothering u in life.. but i'd never do it again .. i got put on medicane so now im better <33

[baby72987]

i used ta cut muh self and it wasnt a good picture.. i wood always cut over and over againt ill blood came pouring out.. it releaves all the pain and stress u have inside buh then it makes u go crazy win ur somewear else and dont have anythingto cut ur self with.. if someone found out that ur a cutter then will run there mouth and tell someone else an that will resort into u being put into a differnet home. and its not good. they will think ur a crazy person. don do it.. think of all the possilities that u have in the future like a family husband wife anything in the world and cutting ur self mite make all ur dreams and hopes go down the drain. thats only if u cut in the wrong place and u loose ur life. think about all the people that will miss u ur mom dad family members loved one. how are they gonna feel noing that u cut ur self and u wanna die. take it from me. its not a good situation to be at.. if u wanna talk more about cutting with a nother cutter im me anytime okie "baby72987" ill always be here for u to show that someone really cares


Loni

[mouse_3k]

I've tried cutting myself before, and it hurt, so i stopped and to me, it doesn't relieve pain [IT HURTS]

it does hurt. when i did it, it hurt like just a little bit but it proved to me tht nothing can compare to the emotional pain i was going thru so i tried to have some other feeling *physical pain for a example* to get my mind off of the emotional pain

but thts just me im just weird like tht

[F1R3B4T]

cutting = ppl who seek attention of friends, fam, ect


ryfitaDF has it all i wholeheartedly agree with him

[lilJdawg]

Cutting is VERY wrong. you can`t actually tell your friend to stop because she has her problems & yeah (even though, cutting & hurting yourself doesn`t solve anything). maybe try & tell her how you feel, or like tell some of your friends so that she will stop cutting.

[Angelos]

yeah...... cutting is really bad

[fallenang3l211]

i used to cut myself, and when i look back at it, i realize how stupid it was. i think half the people that cut themselves only do it for attention, not because there is REALLY something wrong with them

[Looow]

You need to talk to her. Or tell someone. I almost cut before. I was going through some serious stuff. The I thought about it, it seemed pointless. At the moment were you are going through all those bad stuff all you wanna do it slice your wrist but you just have to think of the consequences. You should really talk to your friend and tell her what would happen if she kept this behavior.

[inthemudhole]

Everyone has their own way of relieving themselves.
And some are driven to cutting.
I don't have a problem with it.
I don't think it's the best thing to get involved with, but it's their choice.

[mz_m1ch3113]

i think its wrong to cut urself
coverin up pain wit pain???o.O not my style
but i noe theres this goth grl in mah school that cuts herself....she looks miserable all day....and yea....kinda sux

xangurr

[audory]

yeah.. i think cuttin is really bad. personally...IVE never done it.. i get really scared of blood.. but cutting is really bad for you.. all of you who did it once and have stopped.. im soo happy fer yooh!!!! lol yeah

[dreamerOi]

okay truth is ive done it but i remember this one time when i did for some reason i started to break down and i got all shaky when i saw the blood i dont know but i did do it again and everytime you look at it you regret it so baddddd like seriously so yea ill never do that crap again

[ichidou]

I have cut before, yesterday as a matter of fact, it wasn't exactly all that and a bag of chips. I really don't recommend it. It really screws you up, and it hurts, and it doesn't help with the pain. Not for me, anyway.

[Inverted Binary]

I don't get how you get attention from cutting. I cut, i hide it, no one knows. how is that getting attention you stupid fuks.

[cthroughangel]

seriously. cutting yourself is just as lame as getting scared of getting a shot. wtf, why do ppl act like such lowlifes? if they cant handle life, they might as well kill themself instead of bleeding almost to death. what are they trying to do? wtf, its not like the pain is in the blood and it flows out. if you wanna die, then go ahead and fucken kill yourself already. i hate it when my friends try to make me pity them. its like, "wtf?!?!?"

[Rachel]

weird place to put the topic....


maybe better in debate


anyways: Yall cant judge unless youve actually cut.

[aznsorpor]

it is completely wrong to cut yourself.. she shouldn't do that to herself.. ask her what is bothering her and what kind of pain would she be relieving when she cuts herself.. what is causing her pain.. talk to her first.. as a friend you should not let her hurt herself.. talk to her... no matter wat cutting yourself is not a way to solve any problems...

[Rachel]

it is completely wrong to cut yourself.. she shouldn't do that to herself.. ask her what is bothering her and what kind of pain would she be relieving when she cuts herself.. what is causing her pain.. talk to her first.. as a friend you should not let her hurt herself.. talk to her... no matter wat cutting yourself is not a way to solve any problems...

have you ever cut???


that actually goes out to all those who say "CUTTING IS WRONG ITS HORRIBLE BlAH BLAH BLAH"

[JasonAkAWolf]

HHm....my friend started cutting herself and im woried
She says that she does it to relieve her paine and suffereing, but i dunno, I've tried cutting myself before, and it hurt, so i stopped and to me, it doesn't relieve pain [IT HURTS]

I want herto stop, but she said that shewants to keep doing it because it makes her feel batter


Should i back off and let her do it? [im sorta backing off right now] but i still want her to stop

I think its bad to cut..what do ya'll think? And Do you guys think i should back off and let her do it?

I don't like the idea of cutting yourself but I've done it....from personal experence I say talk to her tell her that your scared for her or what may happen to her if she doesn't stop

[hollaITSJOJO]

i just took a college course in psychology and I paid close attention to the part when we talked about cutting. I used to cut liek once or twice. Each person has a different reason of cutting. The cutting can be generalized into Major Depression. The only thing you can do for your friend is to tell her and show her another way to express her/his feelings. Make that person feel special and beautiful. Pay attention to the way they react and the way the interact with others. you wanna try to stop this early cause cutting is like any drug. Addicting. Hope I helped you!

[tsohg]

Cutting yourself is just being selfish
You have to think about the other people your hurting
Its just plain wrong
Now go tell her to stop

[MeanBastard]

Tell her down the road, not across the street.

[lilxroxy]

u cant really tell her to stop, u gotta tell her how U feel, and u gotta know why she does it, and then after a while she feels comfortable talking to u about it u should suggest some other method to relieve pain

i agree

:/

[highly_evolved]

*sigh* yes help your friend talk to her.

ok im kinda annoyed with ppl who are saying "i think cutting is bad". i bet some cutters know that its bad do u know even y ppl do it? most likly its because they cant talk about there emotions so channeling it though physical pain numbs there emotional pain. even if they know its bad and dont want to do it its like eating mcdonalds and knowing its going to make you fat.

[Yemmerz]

Yeah you should. I found out that my friend cut herself, and now she stopping. I guess people just need someone to talk to sometimes.

But I still think it's not solving anything.

[highly_evolved]

its solving the emotional pain for a few minutes wich is what somoene wants

[babygrl23]

*sigh* yes help your friend talk to her.

ok im kinda annoyed with ppl who are saying "i think cutting is bad". i bet some cutters know that its bad do u know even y ppl do it? most likly its because they cant talk about there emotions so channeling it though physical pain numbs there emotional pain. even if they know its bad and dont want to do it its like eating mcdonalds and knowing its going to make you fat.

I completely agree.

[highly_evolved]

^ thank you

[whtevergoaway]

..i cut....well im trying to stop, because my friends found out and this whole thing happened, and now im trying to stop my bad habits

[DesperateXMeasur...]

*sigh* yes help your friend talk to her.

ok im kinda annoyed with ppl who are saying "i think cutting is bad". i bet some cutters know that its bad do u know even y ppl do it? most likly its because they cant talk about there emotions so channeling it though physical pain numbs there emotional pain. even if they know its bad and dont want to do it its like eating mcdonalds and knowing its going to make you fat.

Yes I agree with you there.
But it's become so much of a trend now.
I can name more than 10 people at my school who cut and show it off.
It's ridiculous.

[whtevergoaway]

..if they cut and show it off...it just means they want attenetion..that they really dont have any big issues, well thats MY opinon anyway
...and i know about cutting and acutally i wasnt gona post it on here that i cut..but yea...i ended up sayin it..and i had my own good reasons why i cut myself..and it WASNT for attention, hell i kept covering it up by wearing sweatbands and sweaters

[xo b0o b0o]

Well what can I say? It's wrong It's terrible...and let me get this straight...how does making yourself RELIEVE the pain? And then again...somethings solutions are so limited that you make the mistake of thinking that cutting is the only way out. So whatever it is that she is going through....tell her it could be 50x times worse. Trust me...it could get so much worse.

[persongp]

stop her

[royalfreshness]

i dont know anyone personally that cuts themselves. but i think you should tell her because she it inflicting pain upon and anything that draws blood from yourself is not good. if i were you i'd tell her in a heartbeat cos i'm a straightforward person when it comes to things i think aren't good/wrong. so tell her that you think she should stop. and it's because your care about her and you don't want to see her hurt herself anymore cos you care.

[lifeisoverated]

I think its bad to cut..what do ya'll think? And Do you guys think i should back off and let her do it?

I've delt with this problem before. No Matter what they say or what is happening (and I mean anything) all they're looking for is "attention"!!! One action could be to listen to what she has to say, if she acts in a 'no talking' matter then keep asking till she'll give in, but if she walks off in an annoyed attitude then you know she wants to hide it.

If you're already past that stage, slap her. This will get her attention and tell her life ain't all flowers and pixies, she needs to learn to deal with it.

This is where you or someone else helps her open her eyes to this fact of life.

~\m/

[needlenymph]

Tell her down the road, not across the street.

Defintely DONT do that..heh. The point is to make sure if shes going to keep doing it, shes causing as little harm as possible...and this is coming from a cutter, so I do know what Im talking about, for the most part at least .....

First off alot of the people here are right about the 'why'..Its a coping mechanism. And it comes from craving attention. Maybe she doesnt know that yet, but in her subconscious (sp?) she feels lonely. You gotta explain to her that you want to support her in everyway but you dont want her to hurt herself. Also it is very addictive. Take it from me, its like smoking or doing a narcotic..remind her that even though its helping her now, eventually she will wanna quit, and if shes been doing it for awhile, she might not be able to quit by herself...Just keep helping her find other ways to express her pain.

Finally...if all the good advice that people here are giving doesnt work, and you know you cant get her to stop...at least make sure shes safe about it..at least convince her to do as little as possible and not use something bad like a huge knife or something really dirty... I wish there was more to tell you Im sorry hun

[pbear]

Cutting can help her stay in control of herself.
It can also help with emotional pain.

Ack, I didn't get it at first, but reading The Luckiest Girl in the World really helped.
It helped me understand the reasons behind cutting.

[gelionie]

It's really wrong.
If you're depressed or stressed, just find someone to talk to and NOT HURTING YOURSELF.

[smthngcrprategrl...]

i was a cutter but stopped about a year ago but i have long since gotten over that. i was like depressed and had a ton of stress with school, and just life in general. what happened with me was i cut myself then the pain got kind of addicting and it felt like it was something i had to do. so yeah just talk to your friends. if it wasn't for my friends i would have never gotten out of that stage. i actually never intended to show anybody but wearing long sleeves all year round may draw suspicion and my friend kinda grabbed my wrist and lifted up my sleeve. and i owe him sooo much because of it.

[Flip-o-Matic]

cutting's just plain wrong. it doesn't do anything but make things worse. if suicide's the deal here, then it's pointless, it shows you're a coward, u gotta face facts and juss try to start over and make the best of what you've got. what i gotta say: suck it up. i take these meetings where i tell cutters not to be cutters and for good reasons, so i strongly stand for that.

[rainnydaiis]

my sister use to do it but i don't like her doin it...
i think its wrong..

[gothicvengeance]

NO!! NO!!! CUTTING YOURSELF IS BY NO MEANS AT ALL RIGHT IN ANY WAY AT ALL!!!

I don't know the whole situation, but from what you said I think you need to help your friend and help her STOP CUTTING HERSELF. The only reason it feels like it helps is because it helps relieve the pain by taking away your blood, which harms your body even more. That's like killing yourself after you scrape your knee so you won't feel your knee hurt anymore. Please help your friend stop cutting herself...

In my opinion, there are two kinds of people who cut themselves: people who are truly depressed and desperate posers seeking attention. The people who are truly depressed deserve help and the desperate posers deserve to die in the process.

Sorry for being a bit vicious, but I'm that way when it comes to things like cutting.

[tooeffingcrazy]

cutting yourself is scary. when i saw thirteen the movie, she was all cutting herself, it effing bleeded a lot! so crazy

[LadyXTor]

I wouldn't cut myself...if i felt bad about something..i'd confront my pain...stabbing yourself to relieve pain...doesn't really make it go away...does it?

[feedthefirex]

well some of mia frensz do it. ionno ive never done it but i dun think i could stand hurten myself ta relieve pain..i dun get it. its sad tho. wish i kould help

[faithin_felix]

no i dont not suggest u ppl going around cutting yourself. because it would hurt and it is not worth it.
