Hey!. I cut too!. I'm not going to give you that oh you shouldn't do it you're ruining your life speech!. I've heard it enough and it doesn't do anything but make me mad!
Yes that is still cutting!. It doesn't matter how deep it is!. If you are doing it on purpose for emotional reasons or "feel" again then it is cutting!. Now it depends on how deep it is because it can also just be scratching which is still a form of Self Injury!. If you want more info or anything you can email meWww@Answer-Health@Com

Cutting is a manifestation of either suicidal or self-hate feelings!.

Ask yourself: are you suicidal!? Do you hate yourself!?

If not, then you need to stop cutting!. If so, figure out why!. Remember, if you want to kill yourself, then that's entirely up to you!. If you hate yourself, then that's fine, as long as you're okay with it!. However, if you want to lead a normal life actually liking yourself, then stop cutting and start LIVING your life!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

it is very common for people to cut themselves!.!.!. but you do need help before you hit an artery or some important blood supply!. you could end up hurting yourself badly!. i used to cut because i was so depressed!. one day i cut an artery in my wrist!. my little neice found me half dead on my bedroom floor and so now shes traumatized! i got scared too!.!.!. it is the wierdest feeling to wake up in a hospital!.!.!.!. anywho! you really should stop!.!.!. before its too late!Www@Answer-Health@Com

no its not normal if you ask me!. i would learn how to deal with your emotional problems some other way if i were you (ex!. sports, music anything you enjoy!.) if you wanna stop then i suggest you tell your parents and throw away the razor that u were using so you cant start again!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It is NOT normal!.!.!.

Please find someone older and wiser to confide in!. Talking about problems is half the battle! Go to a counselor at church or at school if you prefer for it to be confidential!.

Life is ALWAYS going to have its tough times and if you start now to learn how to deal with those emotions, the easier it will be for you as you grow older and you have to deal with every day life issues!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Cutting is normal when you do it a few times!. You've named the reasons !. Depression, frustration, and boredom!. We all go though this!. It is not healthy to continue to do this!. It is self destruction!. Is that normal!? Sure it is for people who want to self destruct!.
The thing is that you have been there, done that with the cutting!. Find something new to entertain your self!. Find something that will challenge you!. Do something or learn something you've never done before!. Then you won't be bored and you won't be self destructing!. :-)Www@Answer-Health@Com

It is very normal though most will never come out and tell you that!. I cut and most are cuts a lot like yours!. I do it sometimes for emotional reasons and other times just because it feels nice to let it go!. It is just like a drug it gives you a type of high!. Just dont let people tell you that what you do is wrong or weird because it is all just part of who your are and you will never have a problem that someone else hasent had!. By the way I think that disposible razors are best!.!.!.if they dull you can get another and it is easy to get new ones unlike typical ones!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Please seek help!
self mutilation is not a reasonably thing for anyone to do!. Normal doesn't have anything to do with the real problem!. What is common or has become to be considered normal in our society isn't always the right thing to do!. For instance; it's a normal thing for teenage girls today to have sex, that doesn't make it right!. It's normal to join a gang and go banging but you go to jail for that!.
Self mutilation is not only dangerous but is a sign of deeper problems that could lead you and your friends into extreme trouble!. Seek help, and I'm not referring to on-line but real help, a doctor or if you can your parents!. See a counselor at school or your minister or Priest but please seek help and help your friends too!. But remember that no matter what they do, take care of yourself first!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
