Of course cutting yourself is bad - it's a quick fix to a much larger problem. While it makes you feel better in the moment you're doing it, it doesn't solve whatever upset you in the first place. That just leaves you with two problems - whatever upset you, and the fact you're hurting yourself and all the problems that come along with that [infections, guilt, having to hide it from family/friends, etc.]

But when that's your way of coping, it doesn't seem bad...it's a wonderful thing, from a cutters point of view. Many people who cut do so in secret - and that's one part of the appeal. It's yours, it's your own, it's your secret...and when your life might be so hectic and you feel like you have no control over it, that's one thing you can control. And it's empowering. It's an addictive feeling, making it very difficult to stop sometimes. Especially when you see no reason not to.

I am in no way condoling self injury...I'm just trying to give you the perspective of previous experience.

Evolution in action. Destroy yourself, and no one breeds with you, thereby eliminating the defective genes from the pool.

um i think it's good 4 u if u need to express urself.... I've been cutting for 12 years.... I'm really an expert on it.... I find it enjoyable and my favorite quote is "down the road not across the street kids!" BTW cutting ur genital areas before sex is a great way to induce pain on urself!!!!!!

cutting can be for attention or for some to feel pain as pleasure.

not from experience:

but some just like the quick cold feeling and rush cutting yourself brings you. it gets your heart racing and makes you feel alive for a brief second. the blood that comes out is almost an evil escaping you. doing it over and over again you lose that cold drive and then this becomes a problem.

Self-injury is more dangerous than many people think. People risk hurting themselves more seriously than you intended
