do you think it's the latest 'fad'?

I've been seeing a lot of cutters latey and I was just wondering if everyone else thinks of it as a fad. I myself am a cutter and I know how it relieves pain and stuff... but don't you think that so many ppl are doing it now that it's just something to do and it has no actual purpose?

that's true... but do you think that's why most ppl cut?

true true

anybody else have any opinions?

Wow, I think there are the ones that have done it since they were younger...And they had never heard of it before...

Then theres the ones who heard of other people doing it and thought hey ima be like them...lol

I do believe that some people do it just for the attention, and that they dont really do it for themselves...

i try to relieve my pain and i simply just cant let myself cut into my skin!! so i found that writing and talking to my *buddy/papi* helps me relieve my pain w/o doing harm to myself and/or anyone around me!

i think it is only a fad for some people. me, ive been hurting myself for since i was little, like 5 or six. i didn't cut at first, i bangged my head on the wall and bit myself to the point of bleeding and then cut but like the other person said, i thought i was the only one.

Maybe it's more like an epidemic that we can't stop?

well one of my friends started becuz of the way they felt and they started gettin alot of pitty and attention from other girls feeling sorry for her so a few of my other friends started for no reason but soon stopped but it goes to show that people will do anything for attention in this case it was a fad but it depends i think
