Can someone please explain why it is so bad!?!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
First of all, the person that said cutting leads to suicide is WRONG!. Cutting is a coping method to keep you alive!. It is not at all associated with suicide!.

Second, I guess people think it is "wrong" because it is a way of harming yourself and causing damage to you!. Scars, tissue damage, self-esteem etc!.

And I agree with you!. Why is cutting so bad!?!?!?
Why is smoking a better coping method than cutting!? Smoking causes lung cancer and emphysema!.
Why is over-eating a better coping mechanism that cutting!? Over-eating makes a person obese and at risk for diabetes, heart attacks, etc!.
Why is drinking a better coping mechanism than cutting!? Drinking can lead to mental decline and death!.
None of these are any better and in fact, with cutting you are not hurting anyone else!. Smoking produces tobacco smoke that others are exposed to, drinking!.!.well you could drive drunk and hurt others!.

Cutting is just another coping mechanism!. If you are comfortable with it, then really no problem!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
