Its hard to say whats right and wrong somtimes...
society says that it is wrong.
But Im sure in some countries that is acceptable or tradition.
But I would venture to guess they do it for "other reasons"
The logical answer to "Whats wrong with it?"
It can hurt you, or kill you if you accidently or on purpose do it too hard in the right places. But cutting is like any other vice
that people use to cope with their feelings and issues.
Ciggaretts, alchohol, food, drugs, ect.... they use it to
numb out,
feel somthing different than their pain
ect...
Why is one better or worse than the other?
and who sets the standard? Moral questions, and who holds theRights to whose body it is.....
People think its wrong because they dont understand it, find it visually astonishing, think that your a harm to yourself because they dont see a sane person doing this to themselves.
People can set here and say its wrong or right,
but until you reach out for that behavior to cope, you cant really weigh in on it.

It becomes an addiction. You are hurting yourself. You have no idea what could go wrong. Yes you might be able to control it later on you will not. I used to cut for 3years. I needed to cut everyday more then once. I would sit in class and want to ran out and cut. You need help right now. Do not hide it. It really does not help you because it does not make the problem go AWAY. yes you feel better for a while then you want it again. Something is hurting and you need to talk about it.

it hurts a lot, that's what's wrong!!

not only an addiction but it will slowly make your life seem worse

Its a scary, harmful way of expressing how you feel. Even if you don't cut hard or deep you are still putting yourself in danger. You should talk to someone and don't cut yourself ever again.

people think its wrong because if u dont wanna kill yourself then why hurt ur self at all? how can hurting ur self feel good.
that makes no sense
cutting ur self hurts ur own body in various ways.
dont do it.
and it can get infected, bacteria may get in the little cuts and cause infections and even infectious diseases.

Umm You Just Got Issues...

Because it's an indication that there's something else that's causing you pain.

It is not normal to want to do yourself bodily harm. If you're even asking this question, you should be seeking professional mental health advice.

EVERYTHING!!! talk to someone, punch a pillow, watch sad movies but dont hurt yourself... nothing in life is worth that.

Because most people have never had the urge to cut themselves. I personally don't know the feeling myself, but if it makes you feel better then do it. I would recommend getting a psychiatric evaluation though, cuz It isn't normal.

it hurts people around you and you are plain stupid and selfish for doing it in the first place


it doesnt help you one bit you just think it does becus your told it does
but really it doesnt
thats how sick are world is!

If you don`t think that it`s wrong then why hide it or or why even ask the question? I guess you don`t think you need to see a shrink either eh?

well first off its a sin if you are religous, because you are supposed to respect your body

second. it is a for of suicide.... that is if you go down the highway,

if you cross the street, its ugly, people see your scars, and know your problem

cutting is a form of attention...
i would know
i used to do it to to get attention...

Well .
It deffitnley becomes an addiction
and it isnt a good way to express your feelings,
Also I imagine that it would really hurt because you are cutting your self.
Also, cutting your self isnt a good idea because on how deep you go , you could cut a blood vessel, lots of things can happen , that might ruin your life.
Also , deppending on your skin , it might give you big scars.
So i advise you not to cut your self.

And alot of people dont understand , how cutting your self, can realse your pain .

I hope my answer can help you , Best Wishes , =] ><

It DOESN'T make your problems go away. You may be distracted from them for a while, but all of your problems are still there.

one day u could cut the wrong place and end ur life!!!!! :{

Hurting yourself or punishing yourself is a type of abuse. It's wrong. Would you allow a man to intentionally break his arm just because he wants to? It will heal later. There is no sense in self harm except where the end helps survival. A man who was caught under a vehicle after a crash cut off his own leg. He was able to get help only after that. Had he not done so, he would have died under the vehicle.

You are in no such condition. There is no good reason for your self-harm. Stop it and seek help.

umm..ok maybe a psycologist may help u..no offense. but i can't even pinch myself if i try...i bruise easily... lol.

Go for it!

you are scarring your body for life and you only have to make one small mistake and you'll do yourself some serious damage! i dont agree with it in the slightest but i dont condolne it. if thats spelt right :) each to thier own, dont make it seem any more acceptable than it is. its not normal and isnt healthy. bieng addicted to harming yourself is terrible so plese get help!

It's not ******* natural thats why you idiot. Your body wasn't designed to be abused that way. The chemical it releases will proved tempriorary relief but you have to find other ways of releasing those chemicals.

Im a cutter.It will only hurt you in the end.When one of my friends found out,she was really mad at me because i hadnt told her.If you need to talk darkandproud666@yahoo.com
Good luck!

It tends to escalate, which can make self injury a larger problem than the stresses you were facing in the first place.
It is 'wrong' because it is not a healthy coping mechanism. It is no more wrong than smoking, overeating or drinking excess alcohol in my opinion, but no more right either.
I wonder if you are asking this question, can you be totally happy with your coping strategies? There is help out there, don't be afraid to ask for it.

lots of ppl cut...including myself...i agree with you i dont see anything wrong with it....if u ask me...dont tell anyone unless its gettingrelly bad and ur cutting VERY deep, yes if u tell a counsellor or sum1 they WILL tell ur parents....its happended to me -.- good luck :)
