Cutting

[Shinoda_baby]

What do you think of people cutting themselves?

I think its sad that our generation is gone to that level of depression that we resort to self-mutilating ourselves.

I think it&#39;s sad as well. Some people do it to get attention as well; which is really sad.

Depression is not the only case. It&#39;s so appalling how some people cut their boyfriend&#39;s/girlfriend&#39;s name into their flesh. Come on. If you want to show someone how much you love him/her, don&#39;t destroy yourself.

yes. its stupid. people do it and then dump/get dumped the next day of something and then look stupid because they have their ex&#39;s name sliced into their arm when chances are they are in an argument with them at that point in time.

i don&#39;t think people who cut because of depression are stupid. i don&#39;t like them doing it because its causing pain them more pain rather than solving anything, but i don&#39;t think its stupid.

[Suffice]

I dont think anything of them. You can&#39;t class people who cut in one group as they/we are all different. I just fucking hate people who do little scratches on their arms and roll their sleeves up and have &#39;I&#39;m lonely, give me attention&#39; written on their heads. And people who go around saying &#39;look, im depressed, I cut myself&#39;. Realy people who are depressed don&#39;t go around showing off about it.

And to the person who said cutting causes more pain, well it actually doesn&#39;t. It takes it away but that&#39;s too hard for people who haven&#39;t cut to understand. If you&#39;re actually upset when you cut, you don&#39;t even feel it.

I seen loadsa dum girls scratching their arms because their friends do though.. IT&#39;S NOT COOL PEOPLE ;)

[Dean]

I get loads of kids at my school cutting because it&#39;s cool, because they&#39;re emo, and whatever. Then there are the kids who call themselves satanists and scratch the Blair Witch symbol into their arms. Fuckers.

[Suffice]

Mm its sad. I hate people like that.

That makes no sense at all. You&#39;re depressed about something so you take a knife and slash your wrists to take away the pain :rolleyes:


I&#39;ve cut myself with knives a few times before (accidentally, I&#39;m not a whining emo kid who needs attention) and it fucking hurts, and hurts more than any emotional pain ever will.

[Debus]

I hate it when people self harm. Too many of my friends have done it. I&#39;ve experienced it in a way and what they say about it relieving stress is very true, because when me and my mate were pissing about with his pen knife and he cut my arms on the tops (hey, i have weird mates, don&#39;t judge me&#33;) for the next few days i felt alot calmer and had urges to let him do it again. I can see why people do it after experiencing it in a way but i still think it&#39;s stupid. It&#39;s a temporary fix and you&#39;ll be stuck with the scars forever

Yea, pretty much. If you can&#39;t deal with you&#39;re emotional problems and have to cut or take drugs to solve them, than I feel sorry for you. When ever my heart is taken out and stomped on I just listen to music.

You obviously don&#39;t have any real idea. Like I said. Some people won&#39;t understand. I&#39;m not gonna have an argument about it. And god, if you&#39;ve ever really had emotional pain, it hurts a FUCK lot more than physical..

I think I know a few people who&#39;ve cut themselves before. I think I remember one of them saying that it helps them remember a moment, but then again, why would you want to remember something bad in your life? I find cutting pointless [no pun intended, i swear.], but then again, I&#39;ve never done it myself, so I can&#39;t vouch for those who have.

Why would anyone want to hurt themselves, only because they have been hurt? It only hurts others, like me for example. I really don&#39;t like it when someone resorts to cutting themselves. Sure, it might show that you&#39;re emotionally weak, but wouldn&#39;t it be better to see a physcriatic, or a counselor, they&#39;ll help you more than cutting yourself will help you. Same goes for suicide.

Seek professional help, and don&#39;t cut yourself. That&#39;s why they&#39;re there.

Okay, let&#39;s get some perspective. Have you ever experienced any massive emotional pain before? Would you say you have valid grounds to say something like that? Not that it&#39;s happened to me, but if someone suffered from, say, serious domestic abuse, I&#39;d bet it would hurt a lot more than accidentally cutting yourself. Believe it or not, there are people out there other than whiney attention seekers for whom this is genuine. It isn&#39;t always easy to talk to people about it when bad things happen to you, take it from me. Try to be a little more sensitive, too.

too true

[Burningsoul]

I think talkin about how its &#39;&#39;stupid&#39;&#39; and such crap to cut yaself isnt fair, you have got to consider, if that person feels so upset or depressed that they see cuttin themselves as the only way out then they must be feelin really bad. I dont think you should down people cuttin themselves unless you&#39;ve been in the same position as them. Lookin at endin ya life as the only escape means there is troubles in ya life in my opinion

[The Doctor]

I have depression. I&#39;ve cut myself. Not on purpose mind you. No matter how depressed I am, if I get hurt, it hurts. Then it just makes me more miserable, because I&#39;m depressed, AND I got hurt. Cutting is pointless. No matter how many times you make yourself bleed, the emotional pain does not, I repeat DOES NOT go away. There&#39;s just no justification for it. You wanna kill yourself? Go right ahead, but don&#39;t cut yourself open expecting pain to spill out instead of blood. It just won&#39;t happen.



This has been a public service anouncement from Nate. And now you know, BECAUSE KNOWLEDGE IS POWER&#33; And knowing is half the battle, and I am Captain Planet or whatever.

I think the same way. I deal with depression and I have cut myself before (I was seriously fucked up when I did it and I didn&#39;t do it on purpose) and it never made the pain that I was feeling emotionally go away. It actually made things worse for me. I guess I just don&#39;t understand the whole "cutting" thing. But yeah, the pain never goes away.

Glad there&#39;s at least one intelligent person in the world. :)



I don&#39;t look down on people who cut themselves, instead I try to help them out, if they&#39;ll let me. People have problems, I understand that, but you don&#39;t have to resort to cutting yourself, there&#39;s many other options, but people just don&#39;t know that anymore, unfortunately. :wth:

[Matt]

I have a bunch of friends who used to cut but stopped because they realized it was stupid, but God knows how many other people at my school do it.

well i read this book a psychologist wrote. it was about a girl whos a cutter. supposedly cutting replaces your emotional pain with physical pain.. something like that. maybe it just helps for people who take emotional pain more seriously.. or.. something. although im not condoning it.

i think for the most part, it annoys me when people do it for attention. i just recently argued with this girl i know. she kept posting bulletins on myspace about how shes anorexic/bulemic and a cutter. then i told her that she just wanted attention, or else she wouldnt be posting it all over the internet. thats just lame.

i know kids who say their cutters, but just make little chicken scratches on them. its sad really how self-mutilation is becoming a new trend.

True dat.

I believe that making the pain feel better by cutting is bullshit.

[Shinoda_baby]

I know this from experience, everytime you look at your scars from cutting yourself only makes you think why you did it in the first place then the memories come back.
so cutting yourself doesn&#39;t help no one.

I hate people who think that people who cut themselves (cutters sounds offensive to me...not that I cut myself) are different from us. I mean they are just people who believe that mutilating themselves takes away their emotional pain. They think it "lets out their pain" and makes them feel better. Personally, here are my thoughts on it.

Pointless, pointless...

For one thing, you&#39;re leaving scars on yourself. By doing this, you might be scaring people. People will probably try to avoid you when you want attention the most. And I would be a bit freaked out if I had cuts on my arms and all people did was stare at them.

How does cutting take away pain? You&#39;re adding pain onto yourself. Cutting is a bitch. When I was little, I accidentally cut myself...and it fucking hurts. Now, it&#39;s not more painful than emotional pain because physical pain is usually temporary. Emotional pain stays forever.

Plus, if you think it takes away pain, why do it if it distracts you from feeling depressed for a good 5 minutes or so? You&#39;ll automatically feel depressed after it&#39;s done. It&#39;s really not worth it. And I see people doing it on purpose at school. This one girl who used to burn herself started cutting for no apparent reason. The girl was never depressed and she was always happy. One of the most popular girls in school.

And there are people I know who show cuts like they are their pride and glory. Personally, I almost cry when I see cuts that are put there on purpose. The fact that a friend of mine would do this to herself is too painful to bare. My ex-girlfriend cut herself and I wanted to kill myself for it. You think you&#39;re depriving yourself of pain when you might be hurting your friends.

The fact that some people do it just for the sake of attention pisses me off and makes me want to scream at them. That is just plain stupidity. I mean, if you&#39;re doing it out of sheer emotion I can understand...even though the idea of people thinking it takes away pain just makes me think "lie".

So my thinking is:

Don&#39;t cut yourself. Stop right now. If you want to take away pain, hang with your friends and party. Helps distract me from emotional pain. Basketball camp was so fun that I didn&#39;t feel depressed for a whole week. Do something fun. Don&#39;t cut yourself.

I feel it&#39;s wrong.

Just cause she seems happy doesn&#39;t mean that she is, alot of people that are depressed wont show it at school therefore you can&#39;t judge them on what you see.

People who cut themselves because they think it&#39;s cool are idiots, complete morons, it is just idiotic.
Though people who are depressed and cut themselves I can understand, though i don&#39;t think people should cut themselves i can understand that cutting may help relieve their emotional pain. How I don&#39;t know, but why would they do it if they still felt depressed. I guess they may get more attention for physical damage than emorional damage.

This girl was different dude.

She told me why and she said it was because two friends of hers did it.

I told her that she made a huge mistake.

She eventually regretted doing it.

[Kate]

There was a short period of my life when I tried cutting. They weren&#39;t there to show off or anything--the scars are on my hips, in a place where only a very few people will see. I just couldn&#39;t deal with the mess around me.

I can&#39;t clearly articulate what made me do it, but I can say that if you tried it, you&#39;d understand.

I think its sad that our generation is gone to that level of depression that we resort to self-mutilating ourselves.
some people actually feel better after doing that and that really puzzles me. but i feel sorry for the people who do cut their wrist just because of lack of attention .

[Joe]

I personally will never resort to cutting. I can&#39;t see it solving any problems & i can&#39;t see it making me feel better. If i feel shitty, i&#39;ll stick on a CD, not stick metal in my arms. I don&#39;t want to sound negative towards cutting, if it helps you then go ahead, but in the end the only differece will be that i won&#39;t regret listening to a CD.

I&#39;ve only had experience with "cutters" who do it for attention, and that really pisses me off. You want my sympathy? Fuck off, if you&#39;re cutting for attention you deserve to suffer the consequences. Instead of scrathching those little scrapes into your forearm, do it across your neck and do us all a favour.

[Luke]

I agree with Raj about the attention bit but I do sympothise for cutters.However I don&#39;t see the point of cutting yourself unless you&#39;re trying to commit suicide like my freind did a few months ago and beleive me he went out in a very bad way,3 hours of excrutiating pain bleeding to death,not nice at all.

Everyone regrets doing it, every time. Doesn&#39;t mean they won&#39;t do it again. In some people, cutting sends endorphines to your brain that are like a drug that can make you stop crying, its hard to explain as I don&#39;t really know why it made me feel better when I did it.. It&#39;s addictive though. Like I said, non-cutters will probably never understand.

[Ackie]

i think it&#39;s weird really about the ones that cut themselves cuz they hate others and have been hurt by them, i mean if ya hate other ppl around u an ya wanna hurt them bak, than y cut UR self? :| but then again, i guess thats easier said then done

And to the person who said cutting causes more pain, well it actually doesn&#39;t. It takes it away but that&#39;s too hard for people who haven&#39;t cut to understand. If you&#39;re actually upset when you cut, you don&#39;t even feel it.
That makes no sense at all. You&#39;re depressed about something so you take a knife and slash your wrists to take away the pain :rolleyes:


I&#39;ve cut myself with knives a few times before (accidentally, I&#39;m not a whining emo kid who needs attention) and it fucking hurts, and hurts more than any emotional pain ever will.
You obviously don&#39;t have any real idea. Like I said. Some people won&#39;t understand. I&#39;m not gonna have an argument about it. And god, if you&#39;ve ever really had emotional pain, it hurts a FUCK lot more than physical.. [/b][/quote]
i understand exactly wat u mean, emotional pain burns alot more than physical cuz the emotional memories never fade away, no matter how hard you try, u just can&#39;t seem to get rid of it, it stays with u for lyfe an there&#39;s nothin u can do about it, i can understand y many ppl self harm due to depression an personal problems, but it&#39;s easier said then done that slashin ur wrists or watever is not the answer. also when u&#39;re extremely pi&#036;&#036;sed/stressed/depressed watever it&#39;s soooooooooo hard to resist the temptation

[Bexyboo]

I think most people these days cut themselves for attention. So obviously, I don&#39;t give them much attention, or sympathy. I mean, someone I know over the internet, is CONSTANTLY showing off about how she cuts herself. She writes poems about it. She just expects EVERYONE to feel sorry for her. I hate it. <_<

[Suffice]

Yea, stuff like thats annoying. They cat scratch themselves and it&#39;s pathetic.

[hybrid_fan]

i&#39;m looking at my hands and i see lots of scars...

[Runawy]

Cutting for attention is just plain stupid, I can&#39;t stand people like that.

[Evi]

I think it&#39;s stupid to destroy your body. I mean if you want to loose your aggression you don&#39;t have to cut yourself. But I don&#39;t want to accuse anyone.


Because I did it myself. :chemist:

Is that so much different from tattoos, piercings, or other "body modifications"?

Scarification

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scarification is the process of creating body art with scar tissue.

Scarification usually consists of a series of abrasions, which can be created using sandpaper, power tools, or cuttings. The final result may resemble an inkless tattoo or an abstract design.

It is fairly common in West Africa and New Guinea and facial scarring was a popular practice among the Huns.

When scar tissue is created by burning with a hot metal object, it is called branding.

i agree that cutting is increasingly becoming a trend, a fad, the thing to do. its disgusting. when i was 14 i "cut" my boyfriends name into my arm, because my best mate did it too. i only went out with him for about 2 weeks. thankfully, i didnt know what i was doing, and they were more scratches than anything else. hardly broke the skin. but it hurt, and i was convincing myself i was doing it because i missed him, it showed my loyalty to him and utter devotion, etc etc. i was 14 for fucks sake&#33;&#33; he was only my second boyfriend ever. so, the scratches on my arm didnt leave scars. but the slices all over my upper thighs did. i started cutting when i was about 15- i still do it now, almost 2 years on. i do it on my thighs because i dont want anybody to see. i cut for me. i dont WANT people to know. some people do it cos its a "cry for help" or whatever so they tear their arms to ribbons, but i do it because...i guess it helps me to "see" the pain. like, if blood doesnt come the first time, ill do it over and over until it does. also because i guess i just hated myself- need someway to express that, and i was so against the world it was kind of like a "fuck you all" to it. also, its like the one thing you can control- if everything else is spinning out you can slowly drag a blade through your skin and its like you can at least pretend you have some control over some aspect of your life. and it actually felt really good. EXCEPT......i cant wear anything shorter that 2 inches above the knee, EVER, cos then on up its like someones thrown a great pile of sticks to the ground and theyve all fallen on top and across themselves because theres no more room. except theyre pink and long and incredibly straight. cuts so deep that if you brush past someone the next day you cant help wincing, and the scars actually are indented in my skin. you could get some ink and fill them. THESE SCARS WILL STAY WITH ME FOREVER. and its true, that every time i look at them, it just reminds of how they got there and why. the result is that now im extremely selfconcious, because my boyfriends and my future husband will all have to be explained to.i can never wear a bikini unless i have board shorts. it gets so hot in summer. the result of THAT is now i feel even worse about life than i already did, which causes me to pick up the craft knife again. its a vicious, vicious cycle to get into- and i dont know how ill break it. counsellors dont really seem to work.
so, in consequence, a quick release from the world and momentary relief from the inside pain has only fucked me up even more.
its not the way to go. please, if youve never done and/or have been thinking about it because its cool or you just wanna try it to see or whatever, there are many other ways you can go. just dont. i can guarantee in the long run youll come out worse off. guarantee it.

i think you have given the clearest account of why people cut themselfs and i think you are brave for writing such an honest post.

i hope everthing gets better for you soon cause cutting sounds such a horrible way to deal with things but i do understand that you get in a vicious cycle.

[saunderitos]

And to the person who said cutting causes more pain, well it actually doesn&#39;t. It takes it away but that&#39;s too hard for people who haven&#39;t cut to understand. If you&#39;re actually upset when you cut, you don&#39;t even feel it.

to me,this reply seems to have a cry for attention,the very people you said you hate

[Tiffiny]

Cutting is a temporary release from pain. I know that sounds weird/strange/whatever, but it&#39;s true. Studies have proven that when someone cuts, not accidently, but puposefully, chemicals are released in the brain, and it&#39;s almost similar to a high that someone would experience from drugs. It&#39;s really addictive. Cutters have said self-mutilation was harder to quit, then smoking, or heroin. Plus, you can use cutting in almost any situation. If you want revenge(even though, most times, the other person doesn&#39;t know, you still feel better), if you&#39;re feeling extremely down on yourself, and want to punish yourself, if you&#39;re feeling "numb", it helps you remember you&#39;re actually breathing, if you never learned how to properly deal with emotions, or if you learned it was wrong to let out how you&#39;re feeling, your emotions build up, and you feel like you&#39;ll pop if you don&#39;t do something, anything...it&#39;s a release.

Yeah, I&#39;m sorry if all that&#39;s been said before. I just had to say it. I want to erase the stereotypes surrouding self-mutilaton. Cutters aren&#39;t freaks, crazy, or suicidal even. Cutting is a way to survive, to keep going. Self-mutilators need help, and understanding.

Thanks for listening.

By the way, the only poeple that doesn&#39;t apply to are the ones who cut for attention. I can&#39;t stand that.

[~Diamond Feorsteorra~]

I use to cut, but I don&#39;t any more, talking to someone you&#39;re close to realy helps. I broke down in front of my mum last night, we talked about it and it just helps, bottling all the pain up isn&#39;t a good idea. Id on&#39;t mean to say that everyone has to do it because I did but that&#39;s my way of overcoming it.

[xXLPGurlXx]

I agree that cutting is very stupid and I came to realize it is very pointless. I cut a few times awhile ago. I wasn&#39;t very depressed, I just had some anger that I needed to get out. Now I realized I ruined my life when I did that, my friends actually did care about me I found out. And now I look at my arms and see how stupid I was. But when you cut, it does release pain and it lets go of all my worries or anything that gets to me. And I hope I will never do it again. And if I feel like Im gonna go insane I just call my best friend and she is there for me.. But sometimes I felt like no one knew how I felt. And the only person who i needed to talk to was my ex because he was in the same situation. But I never did talk to him because he was one of the reasons why I did it, but I am okay now. And I never cut for attention. I didn&#39;t even let anyone know. My friends found out on their own. But now I am better and never will do it again. Just thought I would post my comment onto this topic.

[TeMpEsT]

Punch something and break your fist. You won&#39;t be sad anymore, and you&#39;ll get the attention you wanted. I&#39;ve done it, I admit to my selfishness.

[~Diamond Feorsteorra~]

Wow.......
it&#39;s so scary how many people have been in this situation. I hope to never be like it again. Hugs all the people been depressed

[Ander]

Trendy. If it were an impulse thing, I&#39;d think it be a more legitimate cry for help, but if you heard about someone else doing it and started to then that&#39;s just foolishness.

[LPfreaK1852]

i hate when ppl do sumthin to get attention and when it comes to cutting............................
i use to cut myself so i noe how that shit feels, but i diditn do it cuz i was depressed or wanted to get attention, just did it a couple of times to get the blood out i like the taste. call me anything you want for that....yeah im stupid but then sum ppl started to notice and think that i am depressed sinse well i like wearing black and dont walk around like an idiot smiling the whole time......but that attention pissed me off and i stopped rite there

[forgottenlp52]

i have a friend who cuts herself. Shes really bad. She cuts everywhere, her legs and arms. Shes supposed to be going away because of this but she said shes just not gonna go. She said shes addicted. I dont understand why destroy yourself. You cant like scream into a pillow or punch something, but cut yourself?

See that is a very good question to ask, but for &#39;cutters&#39; its not. It releases all the worries, anger, and tension going on for a lil, once its gone, your fine. But it keeps coming back. Then it gets addicting, uncontrolable. It is true that its addictive. I had a research project about this, plus I kno this first hand. But its just like the pain or tattooes and peircings, but they may be doing it for attention, for closure, or to release anything they need to get out. So yea... I wish I never knew anything about this subject at all, then I would have been okay.

[forgottenlp52]

Ye, i know its supposed to release pain. And she says its very addicting. She told me shes tried to stop but she cant.

So for everyone out there dont start.

It will take her awhile for her to stop.. The only think you can do is try to keep her away from sharp objects and tell her that whenever she is down she can call or talk to you whenever. Lucky for me I wasn&#39;t so addicted I could stop. Just dont get mad at her, make sure she knows that you care and stuff that like. this is the only wat it will have her stop.

[~Diamond Feorsteorra~]

After you&#39;ve done it a couple of times for depression, your brain starts to tell you that if you do it you&#39;ll feel heaps better. That&#39;s how it becomes addictive. I was never addicted but I read about it on a teen support site.

and extra special hugs to fallen angel and evan, the beauty of this is that its all anonymous and you guys made my contribution worth my while and dredging up things. ^_^ it helps to have people say stuff like that, thankyou.

:mellow: I thought it through, and I realized besides looking at it as something somebody does to get attention, or to numb the pain, or that it is supposed to soothe, or as a act a devotion, it can also be seen a fetish....just a thought. A strange one.






Don&#39;t mind me.

whooosh. over my head.

[JohnnyB]

It&#39;s sad, but cutting is like a drug. It can kill you and it is very addictive. :( Ive been depressed before, but I have never cut because I know that if I do, Ill regret it later.

[Jila]

im i the only one who find it hilarious that people post some chain letter that says "1% of the population self-mutilate blah blah blah, if youre part of that 1%, repost&#33;&#33;"

the funny thing is, not only is it quite obvious that they want attention, if it were really only 1%, the chain letter would go absolutely no where, and i wouldnt have seen it so many times.

i dont know why its turned into such a trend. whats there to worry about? relationships. there are people dying in third world countries. compared to them, all these kids cutting themselves have a much better life. i know i say that a lot, but its true.

[lpassailant]

I&#39;m feeling down... I need something to help me feel better... the first thing I think I ABSOLUTELY DON&#39;T want to happen, is for me cut myself. :unsure:

I used to cut and I&#39;m not proud of it. But I noticed that evrytime I would start cutting i would all of a sudden feel very happy. It sounds fucked up but it&#39;s very true. If some shit happens to you or a loved one, the last thing you want to do is start cutting. It is very addictive. It&#39;s like a fucking drug.

It&#39;s part of the old guilt trip issue.

When shit happens, I feel responsible for it all the time. When you get hurt because of it, it feels like a punishment, like you&#39;re getting what you deserve.

I haven&#39;t gotten to the point of cutting (probably never will), but I&#39;ve been in that mindset (i.e. if something bad happens, it&#39;s my fault and I should be hurt because of it) for a while.
