I think it is really important that you talk to your parents about it, or a school counselor. They can get you help. You have a bad habit that probably isn't your fault but you can get rid of it with some extra help. For now please try to do something else instead of cutting, like every time you get the urge to do it write down 3 positive things that have happened to you, or something you would like to happen...start writing a journal.

cutting as i'm sure you are aware, is an awful habbit. i personally don't think you should pierce yourself as someone said, because it is still self mutilation. whoever said that nasty comment about people starving and you feeling not loved really is ignorant. apparently they don't understand. i've been there myself, but it's not worth it. it doesn't solve the problems. find someone you can talk to. i think writing the letters was a wonderful idea and it might be a good idea to try that.

Talk...write letters to yourself or to the people/things you're angry at (you don't necessarily have to send them)

Get a hobby...find something that makes you happy. Soon enough the cutting will go away, youll realize its not worth it.

What you need are better coping mechanisms. Finding those is up to you and on what is making you cut.

hope this helps.

ok my advice
1. keep EVERYTHING sharp away from u
2.buy tha Grand Theft Auto video game shootin ppl in video games is healing and gets out anger

pierce yourself a lot....... it worked for me

Oh. I'm sorry. (cough) You think that's real pain? Ha! One little cut and the next thing you say is "pity me! pity me!" Shut up. You're not woth my pity, you're not even worth these words I waste on you, except for the fact that I need to yell at someone, and you are that one. You remind me too much of a younger me, a me, oh six years ago. What a sad day that was when I started self-injury. Know why I did it? It was to hurt people. Yep. That's right. But guess what? You're hurting no one. And as far as I'd care to know, you'd be hurting no one if you killed yourself. Remember, up the arm, not accross, slit the vein, not cross it.

I don't really have any good advice except for what I did. I used to cut, too, and I stopped eating and would sit around and do nothing. I started writing, and playing guitar a lot, and I've felt better.

But that wasn't really the end of everything.

See, I kept getting little urges to cut - I started thinking I was just sick and should just go and die anyway, but for some reason I couldn't bring myself to cut anymore. Instead I talked to people. I talked to my best friend, some other close friends, the school psychologist, the social worker, and eventually my parents, and I got set up with a therapist and it really helps.

I don't know if you'd really want to see a therapist, but you don't have to to get a lot of the same results - just talk to people; reach out as much as possible, and talk to anyone you trust (even if it's someone you meet online that cares) because as long as you keep talking, it's possible to shed most of the need for cutting.

I wish I could be of more help... You could IM me if you want to, or if you have AIM.

cutting, as you've probably been told, is a way to forget emotional pain by masking it w/ phsical pain. but there are other ways to channel your energy. write poems or songs or stories. go jogging or play sports, help animals or paint pictures. there are better ways to deal with things

You have to help yourself. You have to stop for yourself, and no one else.

Call somebody, and talk. You need something to distract you.

Get help. Please. I've been down that road one too many times. It's not worth it.

Go to a therapist.

No one can stop you over the internet.
