The word mutilation makes me gag uncontrolably. Just thought you all should know.

I just think it's kind of gross. Not necessarily mutilating oneself.

It was just the Wiki definition, personally i think the whole term mutilation is under interpretation. For one person, getting your tounge peirced is mutilation for other it isn't.

Degrading the appearance/function is awfully subjective...

Mutilation or maiming is an act or physical injury that degrades the appearance or function of the (human) body, usually without causing death. Wiki!!!!!

Is it still considered mutilation if you're doing it on purpose like tatooing? Like making symbols, etc?

Ugh. I just started cutting again recently. My school was pretty dumb to give me an X-acto knife with my art supplies. It just helps me feel better. It takes my mind off my emotions. I cut myself pretty deep last night and I must've bled all night because I feel weak and crappy today and I had to skip school yet again. Luckily, I have an appointment with a psychologist today. I really need it. I haven't felt this suicidal in a long time.

I am 17 years old and I have been cutting since i was 11. At first my mom freaked out, she went through this whole I WILL FIX YOU stage, then she realized that all I really needed was her support and love. It`s now been 2 years since I was in a rehab facility. To all the parents that read these posts, dont freak out when you discover what your child has been doing, comfort them and let them know that they are not alone and that they are not crazy. Be a parent to them. Dont judge them and yell. Be supportive, because when you show anger and dissapointment towards them that only makes them feel worse.. If anyone wants to email me you can do so at kokoanticrombie@aim.com

trust me, hun, you are not alone... Did you notice my screen name? I started cutting when I was 12.. I've attempted suicide more times than I bother to count. I can't stop cutting. Even after being in the physc ward. It's what brought me here.

Hey actually i just started cutting three days ago. i guess u could call me fresh meat! (not a joke) ive already treid to stop but i know thats impossible. my mom tried to commit suicide last spring (i was the one that found the note) and my sister was suicidle for about a year a couple years back and my brothers in jail now. i've called the suicide hotline, but it didn't help. i have no one to talk to. i tried going to my sister but she just doesnt really care... I feel really alone. my sis always said "gnawing turns to slight bleeding, bleeding turns to deep uts, and deep cuts turn into gouges." (does anyone agree?) because i never planned on making myself bleed, just to feel pain (it doesnt hurt me... it tickles)(sick, i know) and so i started bleeding slightly and now there getting deeper. i dont want to kill my self (most of the time) but... well i really dont know. i guess u could just say im C-O-N-F-U-S-E-D!
if we packed wait after wait after wait (even small things that dont seem "big" to everyone) ud eventually fall. thats what happened to us am i right? i used to think tht cutting was horrible until my brothers got into drugs my sister cut herself extremely AND had kidney disease, my mom tried to commit suicide last spring, and my dad is always yelling. one by one u wouldn't say i should cut, but add em all together and it equals one pretty shitty life! and i hope alot of other people feel the same way instead of saying crappy things about it, because the last thing we need is someone telling us "your too good for cutting." or "your just weak" "get help" "Stop making excuses" (Ive heard it all practically!!!)

That is great that your daughter trusts you enough to be able to tell you all by herself. I've never been able to be that open with my parents about my struggles. That says something about you as a parent. That's really awesome. It's also great that you were able to observe the change in your daughter and approached her about it and that you acknowledge the need for professional help and are willing to get it for your daughter. As crazy as it sounds, there are a lot of parents who refuse to get help for their children who are going through what your daughter is going through. Do not blame yourself for what your daughter is going through. She most likely is dealing with some sort of depression, which is not something that you should blame yourself for. Whatever she is dealing with may be something even she doesn't understand. It could be any number of things. I have to get going, but if you would like to talk more about this, email me at fearundercontrol@gmail.com. -Allison

i am a parent and 1st timer here. i have recently discovered that my 14 yr old daughter is cutting herself. she explains it by saying it is the only thing in her life she has control over. when she cuts herself and sees the blood she feels the pain and anger inside is "bleeding" out. she says if she doesn't cut herself she will kill herself. at 14 what kind of pain could she have that would be that bad? how could she be so lonly and feel so unloved? if anyone knows of a successful way to communicate with a person who is obviously void of any hope for happiness, please contact me. kingdaniell@juno.com. she has friends that do this also so i know she doesn't feel like she is the only one with this problem. what i don't think those of you that practice this cutting know is how much it hurts the people who love you. logic tells me that i played no active role in this situation. yet, as her father and someone that loves her more than life i blame myself. i would let her cut me if it would stop her pain. i feel that this can only be a symptom of depression. there is no other feeling except that of utter hopelessness and helplessness that would motivate an intellegent person to take a razor blade and cut the hurt out. if you know of anything that can help, please, please contanct me.

That's not healthy. you should talk to someone about that. Anyone that is cutting or performing self mutilation should call 1-800-DONT-CUT or 800-366-8288. "You learn about equality in the classroom but you find out about it in life" - Campus Confidential www.myspace.com/yogore |
