dbbgic	People self injure themselves for many reasons. It doesn't sound like you're doing it to be cool as some people do. Do you know why you are doing it? I would suggest that you talk to someone about it and what you get out of doing it. Cutting is usually done by someone because they are unhappy or are going through a stressful time or because they have voices talking to them and believe that by cutting themselves they will be releasing them. Look in to the reason you are doing this and please do go talk to someone, your parents, friends, your doctor and find out what you need to do to overcome this. Was this answer helpful to you?

MiKeLuMp	I think you need to get help. Doing that is bad; are you depressed or angry? Because eventually, what you're doing could lead up to worser actions. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Mr.Crowley	yeah... fluids come out in a lot of different ways, but if they come out i a self inflicted blood form, people can lock you in the ward... it sucks to be that down, i hope you get better in all aspects.. well, find some form of help.. or don't, your choice. and no, being in that mind frame just sucks really bad Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

YADiRA	WOW! Someone that does what I do. Let me tell you something, I may do it or watever, but I have to admit that it is wrong. My friends also freaked out and they even seen me do it in fron tof them. I do it becuz so many things that go on in my life are wrong... so a few cuts won't hurt me. I will also admit that I feel better, but it's something wrong with me. I haven't doone it in a while. So please... don't do it either. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

paris56	there are so many of us here going through this its mind-numbing. I don't know the answer. it's wrong, but I know the temporary relief one gets from cutting is unlike anything else. there are some people here who are all for it. but they're angry because no one believes they are sick, and want help. NO! it's not OK (and that's not even ez for me to say). Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

geminigodess	cutting yourself is called self mutilation you should get some help Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

I Bleed Black & Gold	you need help!!!!!!!!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

i_heart_gerardway07	Its wrong but it lets out alot of pain. Like it takes the pain(depression) away for just that instant. Like you are cutting all your troubles away. It is a way to release it all. Some people dont realize that. They think it is a cry for attention. If i wanted attention i would walk around showing them off to people. But when you dont do that then they just need F**k off. Mind their own business. When they go through they pain some of us have then they can open their mouthes. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

ken_murkot	I'm sorry. It's not ok. It's a sign of some POTENTIALLY bad problems. If you are cutting yourself, you really should see about seeing a doctor and finding out if there is something more serious that you need to deal with. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Lindsay Lou	Cutting is a very serious problem. I'm surprised that you've kept that hidden for two years. Please visit this website (below) and really read what it has to say--there is so much support out there for you- please seek out help. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

♥	Do you really have to ask that question.?? If your hiding it then you already know that it is wrong. Ask yourself why are you doing it? That's the question. And you are the only one who can answer that question. What you need to do is get help. Self mutilation is not ok, but you already knew that. Didn't you. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

werdsoccer11	It is seriously wrong. You are hurting your body. You might need counseling if you can't stop. If you cut yourself you pose the potential of bleeding to death which is very bad. Stop ASAP!!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

collegegrad	I don't think its a good thing at all. I would suggest seeking some help. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

notyou311	You must stop it. You have an anger problem and depression. Unless you get therapy, it will get worse. Talk to your parents or an adult you trust. This is a very serious matter. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

The Shadow Wolf	Truthfully, Yes it's wrong... But if that is the only way to deal with things... Go ahead... You really shouldn't... But ultimately, nothing anybody says should interfere with what you want. I can't change your mind... But it really isn't that good to do... Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

tlshortt	no, please, I used to so please get help! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

perdu dans mon esprit	i think it's ok, we're all in charge of our own lives. it keeps me from going insane, honestly....or maybe it makes me insane....? le petit morte (the little death) prevents me from ending it all together. makes sense, right. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Dani California	You should talk to someone you trust. A friend (not just any friend, one you truly trust and who you know cares about you), a family member, or a counselor. And it sounds like your friends really do care about you, because they freaked out when they found out about it. Self injury is a problem, and it can only get worse if you don't find help. It sounds as though your friends really care about you, so maybe you should talk to them. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

teambargain	I think of myself as a peice of art, I am a cutter and this is how I deal with just being... Self-injury is not something people talk about very often, but for an estimated 2 to 3 million Americans it is a serious problem. The majority of people who self-injure are women between the ages of 13 and 30, but there are "cutters" of every age, gender, and economic group. People who "self-injure" are not usually suicidal. They do however, intentionally inflict injuries upon themselves, usually in response to stress or trauma. Their injuries may vary from minor cuts that heal quickly to very serious wounds that leave permanent scars. This is also known as "Deliberate Self-Harm Syndrome". If you or someone you know self-injures, please get professional help right away. This is just an overview of a very complex myriad of syndromes. Self-injury usually indicates that somewhere during development that person didn't learn good ways of coping with overwhelming feelings or stress. They’re not sick or insane; they just never learned positive ways to deal with feelings and emotions for various reasons. Positive coping skills can be learned at any point in life. People who self-injure can learn to use new and healthier coping mechanisms. This process may take years to develop with the help of a skilled therapist familiar with this condition Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

jasong25	It goes against self preservation. If you find anybody you really like in 5 or 10 years they may think twice about marrying you even if you don't do that anymore because you have crazy tendencies or suicidal tendencies if he does not understand it.
