Usually I write to get rid of anger or frustration, but if I don't have time or i really can't be bothered or i'm just t angry/upset then I cut. I don't cut as much as i did at one point. I usually go deep enough that a little bit of blood comes out. I tend to do it on the top of my legs, where it will not be seen, because I'm not doing it for attention, I'm doing it to vent my frustrations and to know that I really am still here.

i usualy cut on my thighs because my mom has seen scars and threatned to get to send me to robert young

I cut on my arms and my mom has seen a scar the first time I did it, and I don'rt know if she notices the scars now. I should probably cut on my legs though because I always wear t-shirts even during the winter, and I am in Winter and Fall guard, where most likely my arms will be seen. I don't know...............

I do it to make myself feel better when things get too much for me to handle and im just really depressed, to take all my pain away. Its amazing how much better I feel at times after doing it, i use my pocket knife, I do it on my upper leg so no one can see them though I do have a few scars on my arm, I dont actually do it that deep well I dont think so anyway depends when I get enough blood coming out sometimes I dont have to do it deep at all and I'll get lots of blood other times I have to do it deeper

Sierra- I'm not sure if you weretalking to everyone or just that one person, but i'll answer anyway!

I know I shouldn't be cutting and if I got caught I would be in loads of trouble. well maybe not trouble but I would constantly be being asked why and if I was ok. I think that might be some of the attraction- the rebbellion, the exhilleration of knowing I am doing something that 'they' wouldn't like.

However, I don't actually cut much anymore and as I said before, the main reason was and is so taht I know I really do still exist and am not some sort of wooden puppet for 'them' to play with.

Oh yeah, and like I said before, I do tend to write now more than cut.

I hope this makes sense,

Hmm I've been cuttin since 8th grade that's 5 years...I cut long and kinda deep...On the tops of my thigs...If those get tore ups o bad after a while I move to my back thighs...Then my inner arm. Then stomach...and chest right below boobs. This is how far I've gotten with it all...It's not good at all to do...Stop now! Like i've said before...My best friends mother Cut from age 16-39! That's 23 years! Yuppers! Long ass time. She always did them pretty much on the smae area..SHe finally got help about 6 months ago or so...
I do it to relieve stress when I'm so stressed outtheres nothing else to do..
Or If I'm super duper bummed, If I feel stupid..I've cut Stupid into my thigh..Or It's always my fault...Yeah that ones been gone over more then 10 times..
It's not a good habit at all.

Hey sierra,
I understand you, and I didn't mean to offend you or anything. I didn't know that they could seperate you from you family but anyway... I am feeling a lot happier now anyway and I hope you are to. Thanks for talking to me!
