it helps relieve stress, I'm always sad, I'm ugly, fat, and I just can't stop, my friends don't know, the only time I'm at peace is when i see the blood coming from my arm. It only started as just wanting a way to help myself. Bc my friend did it and said she felt better so every day after school we would go behind the school and cut, now she moved away. but I'm still sad/ depressed. I sometimes cut myself 10 or 11 times a day. And i just feel good. My friends I have now, well i guess I act happy at school but the keyword is act, All day i just can't wait for passing period so i can go to the bathroom and get that razor near me. Is it so wrong to cut

Answer:

I know that it probably doesnt seem like it now but one day things will get better and you will look at those scars and you will regret them, and wish that you'd never done it. Imagine when you're 30 and having a great life but you will always have to explain to people why you have scars on your arms. If things feel so bad, you really need to go talk to your parents, or someone you can turn to about seeing a therapist. Talking about what you feel will help and it will allow you to release those feelings without doing harmful things. There are many much better ways to relieve stress and anxiety and if you dont want to do it for yourself now do it for the you in the future, because if you feel this way at 12, depression will be a lifelong struggle and it doesnt have to be - you can have a way out and life a happy wonderful life, you just need to reach out and ask for help.

i understand that it makes you feel better and stuff but dont you think it could have side effects?? Listen, get a new hobby...my friend quit doing that and she has gotten a lot better and feels more confident in herself and the way she looks...

You should go talk to your counselor. Cutting can really hurt you after you continue to do it for persistent periods of time. If you have a very trustworthy friend, confide in them. Don't think so low of yourself. Everybody is beautiful. Trust me, it's true. Find a healthy way to relief stress, such as yoga or writing in a journal. Or even just screaming in your pillow if you have to.

its absolutley wrong!! to relieve stress, what i do is get my mind off the subject. heres an i dea: do something active when depressed while listening to your favorite music. TRUST ME THIS HELPS! and besisdes,cutting yourself is sooo dangerous and just not right for your age. think positive of who you are!!

I used to do the same thing. When I got yelled at, or my boyfriend didn't call, I eventually got people to ask if I wanted to talk to someone, then I realized all I wanted was attention. Instead if inflicting pain on yourself, write down how you feel. Go back after a few minutes and read what you wrote. It helped me and I stopped cutting after what I read. I had dates planned of when I wanted to die in my diary. When I read it now, it's scary. Talk to me if you need someone.

I used to cut but I stopped because I felt bad. I know how you feel my friends don't understand and we are mad at either right now. I don't tell them though. But you shouldn't cut because you can also get an infection

Yup, it's wrong to cut. Because it's self-destructive - and it also sucks to have the scars later.
