good on ye for posting the thread
luv dre x

i couldn't have said it any better then that.

Wow bob...wow

I agree with every one of you. even though that is what most of my poetry is based on (I'm starting to get sick of writing it on that subject) but it's what bothers me most that I used to do it and now I see how stupid I really was. But I never really used to talk about it and I still don't like to read posts about it because I feel people are getting the wrong idea about it.

wow,
i totally agree with Bob. he said all of it.

Yeah, I agree, there are way to many threads about cutting, and sure, it is good to know that your not alone, but I don't like the way that some people try to justify or even glorify wha they are doing to themselves. It is not something to be proud of and it isn't something that anyone else should know about unless you are seriously trying to get help, in which case it would be better to find advice in someone real, that you can physically talk to.
I support anyone who is trying to stop...but sometimes posting a thread about it ends up in failure stories which don't do anyone any good. Maybe you should try to reduce the number of threads on the subject by posting in an existing thread instead of creating yet more, on a topic which people will eventually become desensitised to if you keep talking about it.
Possibly?
I don't know...but I agree with the original statement anyway...

Yeah cutting is an issue, that is true, and this is a forum to address those issues. I used to cut myself and all that fun stuff and personally I found it helpful to know that there were other people who were going through my trials and trying to understand what was going on with me and why I had such a stupid addiction. I didn't know much about it when I had first don't it, didn't know it was addicting, but I found that out the hard way. I am sure there are a lot of cutting stuff on here, and maybe there could be less, so you post different subjects instead of bashing the ones others posted. It really isn't that hard. Since you mananged to use your time so well by making a thread that says no more threads about cutting, do something about it, post other threads that are of a different topic. But honestly this is sad and depression, and it is a free area for any topic, you are not to say what people can say and not say. Cutting is a problem in among teens in our world, get that, for a great number of reasons it has become more and more of a problem in the last few years. I am not here to debate those reasons because they have been fought over before, but really. Also, you said that cutting threads bore you, so do the smart thing . . . DON'T read them! Hello that is just common sense. No one is forcing you to read about that stuff, no one is asking for your advice in particular so don't give it, but do not bash others for it. Maybe that was not the way you dealt with it, and that is fine, but your method doesn't work for everyone. I am not a support of cutting, it almost killed me several times in my life, but if I can at least try to help other people kick that habbit, I will. If you stop replying to cutting threads there might be less of them, but when you insult them like this, you are only tossing more wood on the fire? If there is a problem, work to fix it, if you won't do that, then your in no position to point it out. I can see what you mean by that, and I don't really want to make this a personal attack on you so I will stop here. I mean, there are so many people who will sit around and say there are problems with this world, but what good will that do unless you will do something to solve them?

Forum rule one.

That is certainly where I agree with you. I had recently recovered from a bad cutting addiction that had resulted because of an emotional disorder and a trust problem that I had in combination with depression. I do not take kindly to others who cut for attention or as a fad, and I agree with that. Your first comment did not say that, and that is why I was angry with you, but I do agree with your reinterpation of what you were trying to say. Cutting is not fun or right, and shouldn't be something that people are proud of, I know I tried everything possible to hide mine and even now I am ashamed for people to see my scars. Sorry if I get angry, this is just a subject I am very passionate about, and I am a trained debater, so I guess that is a bad combination.

sorrry ya'll just got to bow to Bob!
*BOWS*

No I bow to Bob too, because he has a lot of good points. Teens are cutting for stupid reasons, or no reasons at all. I am not saying all teens do that, I just know a lot do.

-Tainted Mikochan

i do agree, but you r expecting people to hide it when they just need to get it out and get help, many people on here are just asking for alil advice or help. i think that we should go ahead and give it to them

I agree w/ u. I think that it's just so amazingly stupid to talk about it, with anyone, espescially people you don't know, or only talk to online. I really hate when people ask other people those types of questions or anything, espescially, Should I cut? The answer is always no. I don't think cutting is something to be ashamed of, really, but I do think that you shouldn't wear short sleeves if u cut on your arms or wrists, or wear shorts if u cut on your legs, etc...It's not something that I feel ashamed of, but I know I would feel terrible if I dragged all my friends down with me if they found out about it. I want to give people advice about stuff like this, but yeah, most people do it for attention, no offense, because you go on here and tell everyone in creation that you cut. idk, I'm rambling, and not really syaing anything, but yeah, I agree w/ you.

^People already are desensitised if you ask me. But maybe that's just me, and who my friends are, and who I hang out with, but in my school, people laff about stuff like this- cutting I mean. If you get hurt in sports a lot, and have scars, well, ya know, there is such a thing as self-mutilation! And it's just really awful to me, because people throw that stuff around like it's just some huge joke. One kid in my tech class got a cut on his finger, like, a paper cut or something like that, and he didn't know how he got it. And this other kid in my class dragged his finger across his wrist to "tell" everyone where he got that cut from. He got a paper cut for god's sakes!
Idk....
