I said this in the other cutting thread too:
I already have enough blood coming out of my vagina, I don't need more.
I think it's a disgusting habit, and I feel sorry for the people that do it.
They did a special on Oprah about it once and the people that do it are usually attention whores or have deep emotional problems.

Yeah, and it's addictive too, I can't remember where I read it, but it's true. I think some people who cut want to stop, but they got addicted and just... keep on going. Something like that, it's creepy and disgusting.

i think it's dangerous too, because if the razor or whatever has bacteria or rust on it you need to geta tetnis(sp?) shot...and...get...sick...lol something like that.

I'm going to move this to Health seeing as how it never really belonged in the girls' locker room.

[rAwritsgWeg]

i did before and have recently but i dont know why?

i dont consider myself masochistic however i continue to do it i personally do it out of pain because then when i cut my self the emotional pain goes away

to people who say they want to though dont do it unless u are ready to feel the pain and dont do it for nothing unless of course you are masochistic

[vash1530]

My best friend has horrible, controlling, overprotective parents. She started to cut herself, and when she realized what she was doing, she called me, hysterical, she was worried because she thought her parents would get mad that she got blood on the carpet. I think they are in a daze when they do it, like they don't exactly realize what they're doing to themselves, and it hits them somewhere in the middle of them doing it, and they realize it. That's what she said to me anyway. I tried to get her to calm down, and she finally did, after a long while of discussing things on the phone. She later went to a hospital for a couple days for her depression, to be monitered and what not. It was one of the scariest experiences of my life to hear her screaming on the other end of the phone.

If you cut yourself, or ever seriously consider it, then please please please talk to someone who can get you help. My friend went to her school counselor. You can go to any authority figure. Just tell someone. You have no idea what it does to your friends and family, to see you do that to yourself.

First off: you can't say cutting isn't an adequate way to get rid of stress.
The only thing it can cause is a few scars and bloodloss (considering using clean/sterile cutting utensils). I'd rather cut than smoke, which causes lung cancer and heart failure..
Second, people cut, based on experience and from what I've seen, for three main reasons: To have a physical pain that blocks out emotional pain for a time period; and to see that they are alive; also, I've heard of people cutting so that they feel. Sometimes people get so numb that they can't feel anything.

Also, depression can cause cutting. If you feel hopeless enough, and you hear about all the people who do this and feel better, then you're likely to try it. Same with smoking.

And it's addicting, like smoking. Sadly there is no patch for cutting.

An efficient way to stop people from cutting is to assure them that you are there to care/talk/comfort them at all times, no matter what the problem. Then show them how bad what they are doing to themselves really is. Point out positive things, and try to think of how to fix negative things (Such as: My boyfriend keeps talking to that other girl and I don't know if he loves me anymore. Which as, I would reply: Don't you talk to other guys? And you still love him, right? So ask him "You and -Sue- are great friends, huh? Well I'm kind of jealous, could you maybe talk to her a little less."...) etc and so forth. :D

I think the people who cut, cut because they think the pain coming from their wrist will make their emotional pain go away.
thats only what I think

I hate when people cut, it makes me sad. I have thought of trying 2 cut, but i wouldnt do a think like that, becuz im just not a person who would do something like that and i dont like blood.

[Imlearning]

i cut myself. people try to get through but when i cant stopped my mom abuses me and my father has left why is there any reason to live after that? i TRY to cut to deep mabe if i do ill get out of this hell

[luvnhate]

Sometimes the ppl that cut themselves could get a skin infection cuz of the blades and stuff..so that could be something u could tell ur friends. it is dangerous though espicially if u share blades like if ur frineds have group cuttings.

[synthase]

umm I heard that some people cut themselves not only because there so depressed but it also means your mom or dad was very depressed when they had you or when it was there childhood. thats only what I heard so yea.

Well I must say cutting may seem disgusting and sick. But I've found some of the childish statements on here much worse. I used to cut. I didn't like doing it. For me(and it can be different for everyone)it was a way to feel. I felt so numb all the time. I felt unable to really feel and show emotion. I felt like I was some weird f up. Cutting was a way for me to feel. I know it sounds stupid, and it wasn't the smartest thing. But I had gotten so low that after I tried it, it was like the best thing in the world. I mean, I acctually felt something. I felt pain, I felt sadness. I could even cry again. It was so good to me. I only did it for a couple of months. I knew it was wrong when I was doing it but it was hard to stop. Luckily I talked to some people who had cut and some who were still cutting. I also talked to some supportive and SENSITIVE friends. That and watching Frankie on the Real World really helped me.

Yeah, and it's addictive too, I can't remember where I read it, but it's true. I think some people who cut want to stop, but they got addicted and just... keep on going. Something like that, it's creepy and disgusting.

Yeah, its very addicting. After I stopped the first time I got so down again I did it again. But that's what really helped me stop. That time it didn't do all that much for me. I'd learned that feeling and having emotions is so easy. Not something I need to mutilate myself to get.

[flc]

I can't really have an opinion on this because I've never gotten so depressed that I felt I needed to do that to myself.

But I mean, I guess when you're in that kind of mindset you don't even think of it as mutilating yourself..

[jue]

I presonally think people who cut seriously need to see like a phycatrist [sp?] They're hurting themselves over something they are sad about, when they can just talk to someone who will help them through there little life crisis. I dont think it needs to come to the point where they're hurting themselves physically. I think its stupid. and if anyone here in cB disagree's with me, then ierno. I don't understand why someone would cut themselves. Its like the same for the Bulimic [sp?] topic.

[mydaisyeyes]

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.

My neice is a cutter, she is NOT a loser. Depression alone does not cause cutting. I suggest before you blast people as losers, you do some research on the subject. It's obvious that you are an ignorant judgemental loser yourself.

Lately I've been thinking about something I've seen so many times while growing up. My friends basically had their own spot at 16 because their parents were never really there and off working so almost everyday we chilled and kicked it. A lot of people chilled there and thing is I've witnessed so many girls cutting themselves every now and then. Mostly after having arguements with my homies (their bf's at the time) and I kept thinking crazy azz b****z. They cut themselves so bad, they actually made designs like 4 lines and cross it out for 5 about 50 times or so and even cut out messages in their skin. We had to take the razors away from them because they were so stubborn and kept threatening to do it again.

I just kept telling them "how you expect anyone to respect you when you don't even respect yourself". I'm not so sure nowadays that that was the best thing to say to them. I'm more into piercings and tattoos but it's not the same thing. I never understood but I want to because it's an ongoing thing now. What do you think about girls cutting themselves?
