cutting yourself... Options

[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....

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
