Yeah... Well, I'm in a really sad mood. I have been lately. Just... crap that's happening. And it sucks.And no, I'm not a cutter. I used to be. But now, I doodle instead. The hand in the picture is mine, and I drew the thingamawhoit. Edited in photoshop.
Anyway, I really think there should be more... I don't know... Attention? Toward cutting. I'm only in high school and I could name 20 people I know off the top of my head who I know cut. It's a real problem. But for some reason, no one wants to talk about it.
There's this... misunderstanding about cutters. That they're all psycho, violent, weirdos, who can't be trusted around people.
Think of cutting like an addiction... like alcohol addiction or drug addiction. Once you get hooked, it's hard to stop.
Because sometimes you have so much pain that you need to let it out.
Some drink, some do drugs, some act out, and some cut.
It's not a disease, and you won't 'catch' it if you talk to someone who cuts.
It just annoys me when I see people looking down on cutters.
Everyone has a different way of dealing with pain.

warning the following comment may frustrate , insult or upset readers. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
cutters are weak selfish people that are taking the body they were given in a healthy state and are ruining it.
fact a lot less people regret tatoos than people who regret cutting.
fact it is a lot more likely that you get rejected from a job because of scars from cutting than anything else you choose to do with your body. an upsetting fact but still a fact.
if you decide that you do not agree with my comment then you cannot complain because i warned you and this is only my personal view and does not have to be or affect your view on this side of society in any way.

that's totally not cool. You can't just call someone names who cut's. That's just messed up it's a disorder and people have their on reasons to cut so don't call anyone weak or selfish.

Mate, this is like telling a person who has cancer, to stop having cancer and toughen up. This is a mental illness, not just a choice. I get that you have an opinion about it, but you should read up on some more "facts" before going around and insulting people, who really don't need to be insulted.

I wish I could favourite comments because if I could I would favourite yours.
You can't tell someone to just stop cutting, because it's not that easy. You wouldn't tell a drug addict to just stop taking it, because people understand that that's not that simple. Neither is SH/SI, because it releases pleasure endorphins (like comfort eating, getting a hug, etc.) which means that you associate it with feeling better. You want the endorphins again because it makes you feel happier, even if at the same time you wish you'd never started, you wish you had the strength to stop, and you wish that you would stop.
Once you've started, it's not a choice and people don't get that unless they've been through it generally, it seems.

I agree. But then agian i am a cutter and i scared to tell anyone an this scares me just to post this. But i agree with you. Im not a phyco or anything. I have reason for cutting my self and i hate to tell anyone.
I told a friend that i was cutting but she dident frown upon me infact she conferted me. She told me she had cut herself to. We arnt desesed infact we are just regular people. We are just able to hide it realy well so that no one can tell that we cut ourself.

Totally agree with you. So many boys I know make fun of cutters and I just makes me sad. I've never cut but I have friends who have one or twice. They are great frinds of mine and I hate to see them get mistreated.
