    People do it for different reasons, some do it to relieve themselves, it lets all the feelings that have built up get out. Others do it for other reasons, its just a way of coping, You may not understand but that doesnt mean it doesnt help.

    good point poetry does relive stress but not as effectively from experiance (did i spell that right?) both did work but cutting got rid of the stress for longer. i have only cut a couple of times. not something you want to live for ever doing though

    Because that is the only pain I can control.
