Answers:
some people do cut themselves for attention!. and others cut themselves because they feel its the only thing they have control over!. but it can be very addictive!. and yes people also cut themselves to realease inner pain!. its kind of like (when you cut yourself) showing people how you feel on the inside!. and yes it is more common in woman then men but i think thats because woman are way more dramatic then men!. but men hurting themselves is not unheard of!. if your feeling that way try to do something to take your mind off of it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Definitely not a mental problem!.

Cutting isn't gender related!. It's unhappiness related!. Those people think that by cutting themselves, they might find a solution to their unhappiness!. Honestly, the only thing they 'll find afterwards is a scar that 'll never go away!.

What you need to do, is to find out what makes you unhappy, and face the problem!. As long as that problem is not solved, you will remain unhappy!.

Start by rebuilding your life step by step!. Start with something small, and gradually build up as you increase in confidence!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i hurt myself, not by cutting, but people do it for all sorts of reasons, i do because i no pain is the one thing i can always control, when everything is going crazy or not under control, hurting myself takes me to some comfort, people may think that sounds odd, which it does, some people do it for attention,, but thats sick, it just takes the piss out of people who actually have problems, and no men do it to, its just not as known because of male prideWww@Answer-Health@Com

That's why almost everyone who self-injures self-injures!. There are a few people who do it for attention, but most of the time you won't even know that a person cuts since they'll hide the cuts/scars!. That's also why it seems like girls do it more than boys- boys are looked at like they're supposed to be emotionless and tough in allllll situations!. Society says its not ok for a guy to show emotions, so guys are a lot more hesitant in general about showing scars!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I've never understood why young people do this!. No one did such things when we were young, but we never had so many troubled kids like we do in these days!.

I have heard that they do it to feel pain, to feel alive, to let the pain out, but it's a terrible thing to do!

Everyone should be able to have someone to talk to!. I don't ever want my kids to feel they can't talk their problems out with me!. I know they would never do that because they are loved and they matter to us and we do everything we can to guide them with the right values and be compassionate human beings!.

I think you need to find a circle of friends you can relate to!. Talk to an adult, a teacher, a counsellor, your minister!. But I would hope you could talk to your parents!.

I always made sure my kids were enrolled in various activities (sports, guides, camp, etc!.) so they felt like part of society and worked together with other kids as a team!. They are good friends to other children and sometimes just having a good role model is all you need to be that kind of person too you know!?

Why not try to become that kind of kid and I bet all kinds of people will gravitate to you and you will have much better things to spend your time on!. Think positive!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It provides a temporary relief - even a false high - from the pain they are going through, by giving them the illusion of 'control' over one part of their lives!. Better to look at WHY you are anxious and depressed and get to the core/cause of THAT, then wonder if it's a good idea to cut yourself!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It is not more of a problem in women!. I've known guys who have done that and actually only one girl!. People do it because they are depressed and it's a way of relieving stress for them!. Or causing physical pain to relieve mental/emotional pain!.

There are probably some who do it for attention!. But not attention in the way you'd think!. More like a cry out for help!.

they do it because they hear so much about it!. dont get me started!. im sure there are exceptions but i believe it is a stupid, useless plague of the media and a plain and simple, flavor of the month problem fad!. how could carving and disfiguring yourself make you feel any better!? people milked anorexia and bulemia for all it was worth!. stop with the emo crap and get a grip!. there are really real people out there with real mental health problems you could not imagine!. please get help for your problem and dont buy the media farm!.

well its not gender related! I know a guy that does it, I personally do it but not for attention!, when my mom found out she was telling me it was! I do it because I have A LOT of problems at home and to top it off im stressed with school! I may be young (16yrs) but I found it as a way to realize my anger so that my mom wont get more angry at me!. I don't know if it helped but just think about it --- really regret cutting but know its really hard to stop!Www@Answer-Health@Com
