Self Harming.....

uhhhh hmmmm......do you sleep walk? maybe someonlese cut you. Realize you said you wake up with blood on you.....maybe your posessed. I cut myself and i dont think its stupid and ignore others who say thatt. I cut to rid the pain that haunts me. So just ignore what others say.

Good or bad? I guess when the time comes you will be able to answer that one for yourself.

honestly. i think the reason you wake up with blood on you is either your scabs opened, or you cut yourself but you were out of it at the time and dont remember. my friend chantelle often has those kind of "black outs" im a cutter too, but ive been trying to quit, i havnt done it for 80 hours. and im dying and if my friend doesnt get on soon i prolli will again. but its not "bad" but its not "good" what is good and bad anyway? something bad to someone cd be good to someone else. its all a matter of opinion. the onyly thing that is making me stop is the thought of growing up and having my kids ask me what happend to my arms and why there are scars there, or getting so bad that i start dropping bowling balls on my feet (it happens i read about it) also, i just generally dont wanna wake up at 30 years old and look down at my arms and see scars from when i was 16 and depressed. yu knoe? its not a good theory. i dont suggest you stop or anything, its up to you whether you want to or not. good luck, w/e you decide. but one more thing...if you have to ask us what we think...maybe you're having doubts about it and realize that its not right for you...and i think a little part of your "problem" or w/e is that you care too much of what people think about you. if you dont care as much, maybe you'll feel better about yourself.

grow the fuck up asshole. im not doing it because its trendy, i fucking wish, if i did it to be trendy it wud be a fuckin lot easier to quit u fucking prick. life sucks is NOT a selfish thing to say, maybe i shud hav been more specific and said MY life sucks, oh well my fucking mistake. you're just a stupid know it all bastard. you think you knoe everything about everything. NEWSLFASH they did it in the 80's too, its been around for centuries, believe it or not, its just now people are talking about it, now people are getting help for it. well jesus christ we shud be ashamed of ourself for talking about our problems what the hell is wrong with us, god shud smite us with his big ass lightning bolt, we're just horrible people. drop dead.
~Freak~

oooh ur so right. how cud i be so blind. its trendy! that must be the ONLY reason people do it. gosh. what are we thinking guys? its trendy! golly we cant do it now. here, come on over ill just flip ur fuckin switch for you. and JPM, i made a typical teenage response, yet again, so sue me. yea, they did it in the 80's...oh! it wasnt trendy then? oh okay, so they can do it? cuz its not trendy? oh well okay then that makes perfect sense.
~Freak~

good point bloody. and i slightly agree. but in the mindset you have when you're doing it, it helps. just in the long run it sucks.

Something constructive: STOP cutting. Just try as hard as you can to stop it, when you're older the remains of nasty scars won't be something to be proud of.

JPM- Yes I am a teenager and yes I cut. Life is full of shit things but everything happens for a reason. People cut for many different reasons and yes sometimes it is for a trend. I know you were asked for an opinion but hey these people have feelings. They get hurt easily. Did you ever cut? It becomes an addiction. it calms you down. Blood is life and it is the most beautiful sight to watch balls of blood roll from your wrist. you feel so peaceful and satisfied. it brings you a short moment of happiness. this is my oppinion and as messed up as it is i hope you will respect that just as i have respected you view.
Freak- hope your ok

personally id rather cut myself than do drugs. drugs kill you. and in my experience with druggies it makes you mean and cold hearted. JPM you say there are so many other "untrendy" things to do. gimme 3 good ones that's better than cutting? then i want you to start cutting, do it for a year at least, and then try and stop. and then read over what you've said to us. THEN see what you think.
~Freakin Annoyed~
btw, i love the way you said that stuff Thea, the whole blood spilling, makes me wanna cut again. haha. you make great points, SOMEONE shud listen to em.

throw it out. you cant hide something from yourself. just throw it out. and if you really wanted to cut, you'd find something sharp, even a thumbtack (speakin from experience) so if i were you, id keep the knife out, to prove to yourself that you can do it, and in case you slip up one day, you dont go for a thumbtack that can give you an infection. good luck.
~Freak~

ooh good idea go for something that can kill you eventually, and give you cancer and make your kids have their parent die at an earli age. smart one haha. but i dont suggest it.

JPM..you said:

you're not unique. you're not original. life is not shit, and you're copping out of this WONDERFUL BEAUTIFUL world

well if you slit your throat because you didnt want to live with retards etc, wouldnt you just be 'copping out of this wonderful beautiful world'.....

Seems a little hypocritical to me.

And for the people who are defending cutting and their reasons for it, i was going to post because i'm an ex 'cutter' if thats what you call it, and i wanted to offer some hope....but all respect was lost when some of you started promoting drugs.

maria....... I really don't believe your story, it might be true, but how the fuck would i know because you mixed so many words up i was like... 'what the fuck' re-read your text before you post it, or let everyone see you as retard...like Jpm (as in JPM seeing you as a retard) just consider that ok!

ppl stop being so nasty!!!!!!!!!!!
