Why do YOU cut?

thats the most pathetic thing ive ever heard. when did i say u were heartless? and its an expression! u must be pretty "heartless" if ur willing to come on here and judge others, call them names and make them feel worse about themselves.

commen sense!!!!!

Common sense? I didn't see anything that had anything to do with common sense in your last post.

Common sense would tell you that if something someone says to you on the internet hurts you that bad something is seriously wrong with you.

and natalie u r the most selfish person i have ever spoken to. ur saying I cause people to cut?

then what the FUCK are u doing? weather u mean to or not, uve probably upset some1 so much at some point on this site with all ur nasty comments, that they too have gone and sat in a corner with their trusty razor blade.

ur so selfish

yeah maybe there is something very wrong with me, thats why im getting help, i hate my life, i hate it. and i put on an act because people like YOU will judge me, and are nasty towards me. the onli way i learnt to deal with the pain i feel every single fucking day is to cut. and im sorry if u dont agree, i dont agree either, but i would really appreciate some support, or atleast a civil conversation cause its really upsetting me

Like I said there is something more serious wrong with them then....not my problem....

Maybe your professional help isn't working then. Find someone else. If something someone says on the internet hurts you that bad then you need MORE help....seriously.

dont be so stupid! U hurt me cause i know what your saying is true. I have only been going for 2 weeks actually, and im doing well, i think..so please dont judge me cause i really am trying, and im upset by ur comments cause i feel really alone, and all ur doing is making it worse.

oh for fucks sake ur both selfish and harsh and i feel really REALLY sorry for you

If it's so true, do something about it. Change yourself. Simple as that. If you don't like what you do and what to change, then do just that. Period. Don't tell me it isn't that easy, it is!

Don't feel sorry for me, I'm not the one with a problem.

I wish I could feel sorry for you, I wish that I could show you compassion....but I just can't. Not because I am unable to because of my being heartless but because I don't feel the need to. Just like I wouldn't feel compassion for a crack fiend. It's your own fault that you do the things you do and hurt yourself the way you do.

i am living proff that what u said is not true, u upset me by what u said, why is that so hard to accept? and yes i do feel sorry for you, cause u obviously feel so bored that u have to insult other people.

im 16

yeah fine its my fault, I KNOW ITS FUCKING BAD AND I KNOW ITS A BAD THING AND I KNOW IM A COMPLETE FUCKED UP SHIT TO DO IT

BUT I CANT FUCKING HELP IT.

I am on here out of boredom. But that is not why I say the things I do. Open up your eyes....you could have hurt others simply by telling everyone what you do and how it eases all your pain and stress. So just like what I said hurt you, you telling your story is(can be) hurting others as well.

See, I totally changed the way I was talking to you, why are you cussing?

fuck u and fuck off

stop being so nasty, i aint the only cutter, and i aint the only person who feels pain, so STOP taking ur pathetic lives out on me.

NO OFFLINE FRIENDS? oops sory caps lock.
no offline true friends? omg thats so sad r u ok? im sorry :(

ok, so u have a pretty good life, good for you :) i dont.

Just so you know, I don't give advice on how to cut and all. I try to WARN people about it. I KNOW it's not good, I know that. It's just been a part of my life for so long, it's very hard to stop. And, at one point, y'all made it seem like what happened to me was nothing. First of all, I haven't even begun to cover the details and half the stuff that has happened to me...and second, I realize that my life isn't as bad as others. I know that, and I'm thankful for that. But it doesn't make my situation any easier to deal with...after all, it is my LIFE. This is how I've grown up, ok? I know that I'm going to face a lot of problems as I grow up, I realize that. I'm not an idiot. Sure, cutting was a stupid thing to do...but no one was there to tell me it was wrong. I was 7, I had no idea it was bad. I found out about it from one of my friends that was doing things to me...she actually was the one that suggested I go kill myself because no one cares and everyone would be glad to be rid of me. But I DIDN'T kill myself. Sure, I started cutting, but I haven't killed myself, and I am so thankful. I am the oldest of four, and if it weren't for my younger sister and brothers, I might have done it in the end. It's my brothers and sister that get me through. I want to always be there for them, to help them and watch them grow and mature...I can't do that if I'm 6 feet under.
So maybe you don't think my life has been all that hard. So maybe you think I'm an idiot for cutting. That's your opinion...I do disagree, but you're entitled to your opinion.
Even if I AM stupid, I am getting help. I'm talking to a therapist and I'm talking and opening up. Why? I want to get better...I want to live and enjoy all that life has to give...I want to go through life's up and downs...but most of all, I want to be there for my siblings, because I love them more than anything else in this world.
Just please, don't talk bad about cutters. Sure, some parade around and are proud of it...some help others get started...but there are those, like me, that have been through it and are fighting it, are warning others about it. I'm not trying to get people to do it, I'm trying to keep people away from it. I know the pain, both physical and emotional it can cause...and the trouble it can bring. So please, don't throw cutters into one category...everyone is different. Please judge people as individuals, not as a group.

I agree with ismall...that is the kind of support ppl are looking for...:)

Everyone is different...agreed. And you have proven yourself with that post. Your life may have been bad and maybe still be, but there are other ways of dealing with it. Good for you on your getting help and wanting to turn over a new leaf! I am truly happy for you! :)

Someone actually cracked me....everyone should be happy!! WOOHOO...hahahaha

I am not heartless people....don't be surprised!

lol I am glad. I just wanted everyone to realize that there are cutters who want to stop and want to warn others about it. I have kept 2 of my friends from cutting...and I'd know if they cut, I'm very observant. But I want to try and help others that don't have anyone to talk to. I've been through it, and if I can ever help anyone, I will.

Well, Leah if you help at least ONE you have done good....no awesome!!

so ur willing to help and accept her as a cutter...but not me??? wow

Georgi....I recall you arguing with me in the first forum about nonsense. She was never hateful, only describing her story and according to her she's in the process of changing. I am willing to talk to anyone respectfully and intelligently, IF you show me the same....which you haven't....so deal...

ive told you im getting help!!

o-m-g why am i proving myself to you?!?! woah! lol, fine, u wanna be like that, see if i care

I am not accepting anything. She is a cutter and I STILL feel as though the slicing she does is stupid...but she knows it.

Obviously you do, because if you didn't you NEVER would have posted that....so you DO care.

dont tell me what i care about and what i dont.

OVIOUSLY YOU DO SINCE YOU MENTIONED IT...

mentioned what?
look just leave me alone alright?!?! seriously, ill stop posting if u just fuck the hell off!!!! ur not wanted!!!!!

If I'm not wanted why do you keep coming back to see what I'm saying? God, you're stupid.

And you mentioned something about why I won't be nice and accept you....

Look, I know it's easy to get heated up about this whole situation and how you have to prove your point and shoot others down (which is pretty much how it is). But please try to be civil. Don't jump down each others throats. It's a lot better if you at least try to understand the other person's point of view, try to see where they're coming from. I know in my first post, I was angry and I was cursing a lot (please forgive me for that, I let my emotions take over) but to really try and talk about things, you need to try and be civil. I'm not judging any of those who say things about cutters, because I realize that they have their opinion, and that just because I disagree with ONE topic they're talking about, for all I know, I could agree with just about everything else. One little arguement shouldn't be the basis for ANYONE'S judgement. It's unfair to the person you're judging. So please, take a moment and calm down. I realize that, for us cutters, we're a little defensive. I am, I'll admit it. But please realize we're defending ourselves. I'm sure there are things that you do that you know you shouldn't do, or are ashamed of. Well, it's that way for us. Cutting is a way of release...not a healthy one, but a release none-the-less. Please, don't condemn us. If someone is trying to get help, THEY'LL SLIP UP. It's not something that can be cured overnight, especially if it's been their way of life for a long time. It's almost an addiction...I mean, sometimes I start shaking and get crazy if I don't cut. It scares me.
But if someone is trying to quit, try to encourage and support them. Maybe you think they're a jackass and an idiot and completely dislike them...but that doesn't give you the right to shoot them down and drag them through the mud. Even if you really don't like them, help them get back on their feet and take control of their lives. I try to do that, no matter how much I may hate someone, because I realize that everyone needs a friend, everyone needs support when they're going through a rough time. Please, don't yell and scream...help each other out. I know how hard it is to understand how cutting helps...trust me, it took me a long time before I could actually start putting the explanations into words. Sure, you completely disagree and think we're idiots. That's fine. I may think that you're pretty inconsiderate (choosing nice words) for putting us down and making us seem like we're all morons..but that's fine too. That's my personal opinion.
Point is, don't get all upset over something like this. Try to really talk it out in a civil way. Help each other understand your points of view, and give support to cutters who are trying to quit. It's hard, and we need all the help we can get.

I was civil with you Leah, wasn't I? I believe so. Of course you didn't tell me to burn in hell so maybe that's why. Georgi is a dip shit. Dumb ass people like her can't be helped....sorry.

And like I have said before I am willing to help anything who is genuine about their request.

Fair enough...but before you go around talking about how much of an idiot someone is and all, especially if you're complaining about their arguing, remember that you could very well be doing the same thing (by yelling and arguing and calling that person names as well).
