I think its a problem that a lot of us go through its not a healthy coping mechanism but for some of us its actually the only thing keeping us alive.

Here are some links to that..

It's either the symptom of a mental illness, or they're doing it for attention. It varies. Most of the people who self-harm because they're ill hide their injuries. The ones who flaunt them are doing it for attention and making a mockery out of a serious illness.

My view is that it is different for any self-mutilating individual. People do this for different reasons.
It's a sad thing mainly. There are self-mutilating teenagers in Africa which do this as a form of art..but that is not so common in America. People have a lot of stress these days and what makes it worse it that few know how to cope with it.

i'm the guy with the depression and i do cutting
