Cutting is actually not an uncommon phenomon, though it can become dangerous.

Many people cut for two reasons 1. it is easier to deal or focus on emotional pain than physical pain. 2. when someone cuts, it actually releases a chemical in the brain called endorphines which are a "feel good" hormone.

First of all I believe you should tell your parents and seek therapy. A lot of time with cutters, it is very helpful just to have someone to talk to about ANYTHING.

If you feel that you cannot do so, here are some other things which will help.
1. when you feel the urge to cut, press ice on the area where you usually cut.
2. Get some "fake blood" at a store and place it where you cut.
3. draw on yourself with red pen when you cut.
4. Call you best friend when you feel like cutting
5. go get excersise (excersise releases endorphines as well) 6. The write above stated popping a rubberband on the wrist is helpful, this is true but I have seen Clients who have used this technique and actually harmed themself brusing and bleeding from the force of the rubberband so be careful.

Best of luck to you Sweetheart.
