cutting yourself... Options

[HelloSunshine]

i don't think it's very....well...no...because it not only hurts you it hurts your loved ones and friends too =[ remember how much people care for you and disregard all the b!tches who've hurt you. They made a big mistake.

[smthngcrprategrl...]

i dunno i cutt well i'm trying to stop. trying really hard. like the other night one of my really good guy friends saw it and asked me about it and he was calm about it cuz he didn't want the other people freaking out but he's just like please don't do it again and stuff and it kinda gives you more of a reason to stop if you know that someone cares.

i cant cut myself... it feels weird if i actually did, and it'd hurt

[mz anita xP]

like most people commented, you cant force or tell her to stop, you'll jus make her have a negative feeling towards you or something. i guess you really need to talk to her about it, tell her it hurts you seeing her torture herself like that, tell her you're really worried, convince her with your caring.

my friend use to cut herself but after awhile she stopped..my other friend does but im not sure if she does anymore..she only did it b/c she thought everyone hated her cept one person..so i juss leave them alone b/c if i tell them to stop...they'll b like" i wish u were here to make things better"(i moved to ohio) or " i cant" so i juss let them b

[krispy_kreme333]

you cant just tell ur friend that o u need 2 stop cuz i dont like it.......u cant do that cuz that will just make her feel worse and do it more.....u have 2 talk 2 her and understand where shes comin from adn ask her if she wants 2 stop cuz cuttin is like an addiction.......once u do it the more u want 2 and u dont want ne one else 2 help u and trust me on thiscuz if ur friend feels like ur judgin her then shell never trust u or want 2 tell u......and i no exactly how this feels czu i used 2 cut adn im tryin 2 stop but it aint easy so just tellin ur friend 2 stop isnt gonna work u have 2 actually talk 2 her about it then tell her that u dont want her doin it
hope this helped

[Shattered_Hope]

hm. does it really take away pain? I dont know. Maybe it does add more pain but if so many people are doing it, I got one question. WHY?

[krispy_kreme333]

no it doesnt 'take it away but it replaces the pain and makes it easier 2 deal with......bein a cutter is like bein a drug addict......u try it once or a couple of times and ur hooked and that why its so hard 2 stop.....cuz its an addiction and its almost imposible 2 just stop just cuz someone sez so...u got 2 help them and understand them and why they do it

im not gonna even go in2 the whole thing where people do it jsut 4 attention cuz that is just plain stupid and that i dont understand but ya im not gonna get in2 it so ya

i hope this help some people

I learned in health that people cut because they want to feel physical pain rather than emotional pain...

[*stephinika*]

yeah i don't think its a good thing, but i'll admit i've done it at one point in my life but not hardcore...just a little. it was an escape. a way to create other pain to take your mind off the pain in your life. i don't know...i see it as a stupid thing now that i did it though i have no scars. i hope that all who do cut can find a way to overcome it.

Get your friend to stop! It's not good for you and only adds on more pain. People that cut themselves need emotional help. I know that some of you think that there's nothing wrong with it, but there's plenty wrong. Good luck with your friend.

[yukichan]

stop her..its not going to help her...tell her parents if u have to..

[rockmyx]

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.

yeah talk to her, she badly need your help. if you cant help her then ask a psycologist to help you and your friend

[travnewmatic]

yeah, i wouldnt go so far as to classify it as morally wrong, but im pretty sure its not good thing. im not so much afraid of that as i am of what might come next. like drugs and (sorry if im stepping on anybodies toes) the kind of people who are associated with those drugs. i see it as a slippery slope. so i say stop it where it starts... if it does start there. tell her to take up stamp collecting. or date a good dood. i think either will work.

[flip_dorkette]

in my opinion.. emotional pain and physical pain is waaaaayy different. ive cut for several reasons and i dont get how you can consider both the same. emotional pain hurts much more.. it tears you apart from the inside, numbs your soul, and leaves you feeling mentally week and tired most of the time.. well, thats how i feel usually.. physical pain.. is well... physical. you can only feel it on the surface, and it doesnt leave you feeling so hurt inside.

some people say "it reminds me im still alive".. it does in a way.... its hard to explain. sometimes people feel like they just dont exist at all. like theyre so numb, theyre probably in a state thats already considered "death." cutting helps them feel better cause they can consentrate on a more tollerable pain rather than an emotional one..

i recomend that you talk to her. cuttings an addiction that cant be stopped so suddenly. dont tell her parents or a counsulor cause then theyll get all worried and make her feel even worse.. someone told on me already, and now i have to talk to the counsulor when i dont even know her that well. trust me. it sucks. its easier to talk to a friend, rather than have to talk to a complete stranger and have your parents never trust you in your room anymore. try not to come out and tell her how you feel so suddenly, cause then you might have her fealing worse already.. ask her whats wrong first. tell her that you could be trusted and that youd NEVER tell anyone else and at least TRY to understand her situations.. talking to her about her problems and lending advice really helps out.

[sadolakced acid]

if you're really mad or sad, you don't feel it when you cut yourself.

it's just... something interesting to do. i guess.

but yea. tell her to stop.

[demolished]

i think she has low self esteem or she doesnt want to think bout anything beside her pain.

[dOyOOHtHINK]

[SIZE=1] my friend used to cut herself too... she stopped b/c i told her to and she realized how much everyone cared about her and how much she would lose if she did something wrong when cutting...one little problem and you could die... i voted that I dont really know..... because ive never tried it and i dont think i ever will.... so i dont really kno and i do think it relieves pain.. but it IS wrong...[/sixe] im tired!

[captured_serenit...]

cutting yourself, has nothing to prove except that you think that it relieves your stress, instead of hurting yourself like that why not drink or something else, because cutting yourself proves nothing but niether does anything else, just deal with it....don't show people your problems...tell them...

[lilJdawg]

Cutting yourself is a big no-no. i've been there done that.

[cewinee]

i used to cut myself 2years ago n still have the ugly scars in my arms.. it helped me relieve pain but i learnt that it doesnt do that much good if you keep doing it n doing it u know.. i mean it made me a stronger person n everything now but thats cuz i learnt to stop it. no regrets.. but its no good =(

[vickiwang123]

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'm a cutter myself, back her off. Even if you want her to stop. Cutting is a normal thing to sum ppl...it's never to deep to kill, but deep enough to feel the scream inside..This is a way of sumone expressing themselves. Because if u tattle, she might end up in a institution, and they can never come out of there...would you want dat to happen to ure friend? Dat almost happened to me...

Not long ago, 2 of my friendz broke up wit me because they remembered back last year dat i cut myself, and they said they didnt wanna be friendz with a psycho. Dats not it, it's not nice, because it's just the way a person is, and u cant be mean to them. it's a way of expressin ureself. I was really offended afterwardz. Kidz still call my a psychopath, kidz still tell my to go to a therpist( as in a insult), and things dat make me wanna kill them. My crush turned out not to be so prince charming after he told me "Why dont u go cut yourself again?" 3 times at gym class, and "I see in the future..dat u have problems and u need to go to a therpist" and (since my teeth has a birthmark on it) "why dont u go to the orthodontist?" I was soo pissed off, i punched him 3 times and kick him 2 times..the teacher didnt notice..soo good thing.
