sorry if this was already said i didn't have much time to read the whole thing (about to get kicked off of the compy)
but i do think that self mutilation is demonic and not of God. He did not intend for us to get hurt and by cutting ourselves open it's like opening our selves up for Satan to come in. another thing is our bodies are the temples of God. it is perfect as seen to him so when we hurt ourselves it's like damaging God's palace. would he want to stay within us if we keep breaking down his temple?
i dunno that's just my thing.
btw, I'M BACK, GUYS! hehe

Self harm isnt only cutting.. it's bashing yourself into walls , pulling out your hair burning yourself hit yourself.. etc..
I conffess.. I myself am trying to quit.. For the last 4/5 years. i've been in therapie.. have been given medication and tests.. and those stupid ******** havnt come up with anything.. and well i must say.. I do not like the sight of scares on a loved one of mine.. but i do admire mine on my own body, when you cut you surpress the emotional pain and trade it with inflicting pain upon yourself.. also .. you can selfharm yourself in your mind..It's very addictive.. It's conciderd one of the most addictive drugs in the psycho healtcare.. for the sight of blood is a turn on the smell of blood to taste it.. well atleast for me.. I also harm myself in other ways..once you get to the point when you dont even remeber why you do it and only know that you must hurt yourself in any way possible, thus shall i remind you selfharm and suicide have nothing to do with eachother.. often the go together.. but inflicting pain upon yourself and killing yourself its a diffrence.. killing yourself you can only do once.. if your not a ******** up..
I'm not a ******** up.. i was only 12.. so dont start with me.. but now..I still hunger to end my life.. but I find more joy to hurt myself over and over again.. it only lifts my emotional pain away for not even half a day.. it used to though..but as it has become such a habit.. i do not think any more of it..I'd say it be wisly to get all the help you can get.. for as you see.. I have loads of help.. if i would have said no they'd forced me anyway for i am a adanger to myself and others.. yeah i'm shaking..
I'm in college now, I I got busted this morning in one of the bathrooms.. no i wasnt smoking or making out,, well I was making out with a sharp object.. then a teacher walked in .. never seen her before.. but the college is way to beig to remember anyway.. so I turned away.. i ran into the toilet, waiting for her to leave.. for it was one hell of a bloodyt mess., i heard the door go.. and i went out to take a peek.. and there was my coach.. and the woman in tears..I was like wtf.. what are you crying for you dot even know me.. come to me again and i'll slit your throat for telling my mentor. so you see you dont want that kind of attention!!
.. and well it's still cold enough to were long sleves and turtle necks.. but when the summer comes.. i cannot hide no more.. on my arms.. my neck/throat...legs..torso.. and private parts... sweatdrop .. so just thnk to what your doing to yourself.. you dont want to be a junk who most hide his whole life.. and if you do not hide it or cover it up when it's fresh and deep. .your just asking for attention!!! I hate it when people do that..
Sorry I'll shut Up now.. I've been typing way to long .. even though i could type a whole more page.. I'll spare you all of it.. if you ever have questions feel free to ask.. I've been in therapie for so long.. it's almost like i've become a shrink myself lol xp + i study it in my free time..

Lord_Billy all i have to say on this topic is did Jesus cut himself when he had bad times? yah thas a no so always just reflect on this nex time when you go to cut yourself oh and what are you gonna do when youre old enough to get married noone will wanna marry some ugly freak with scars all over there body(not to ffend) No you are right.. we should lets these young minds see what effects it has.. for i dont reveal myself either for that reason.. nor do i wish to marry (feels queezy) They should see that what they do have bad effect more then good ones.. when you want a job.. or when you do get married and have children and they will ask ,, no doubt.. or when the ywant you to come to the beach.. really .. I know it's hard.. but it's only hard because part of you/us doesnt want to quit.. deep down inside we like it.. and it's a sin!! if you truley wish to quit.. you should go cold turky.. no stupid rubber bands around your wrists.. nothing to harm yourself in a feet around you..and start to develop your creative side. .and no dont be a smartass and say cutting yourself . .or giving yourself bruises is a way of creative expression.. I used that same excuse when i was about your age peoplezzz..so dont play smartass here

One thing that helped me the most was finding another way to get the endorphins (those feel good chemicals that made cutting worth it to me) I do martial arts, which also helped, becuase it made me worry about the cuts getting in the way. Cutting is not just a self-esteem problem.
I know that this is going to sound cliche, but talk to God and ask for his advice, ask him to guide you on a path when it's right for you.
Nothing will ever satisfy just like cutting, but there are things that can fill the niche. Don't ever try to stop cutting without having a serious plan of attack (so to speak), as not having one can cause you to fall back worse.

I'm a cutter and all I have to say is that I cut to releave stress. Don't tell me that I can get rid of it another way b/c I've tried all that is within my power. I get my stress from my step-dad and mom. I'm 14 so I can't move away. I only cut when the stress is unbearable. Cutting is not a way of killing ourselves. Nor is it demonic. Jesus went through alot of pain for us. Least we can do is share it. And by now yall are saying, "But God doesn't want us to hurt ourselves." Well...what about wars? It is a way that I releave stress and if I didn't, that stress and depression would of eventually resulted in suicide (just like my grandfather). They are battle scars on the temple from my war. A war against suicide and sadness. A war against Satan.
PS- The sixth guy who posted put Satin instead of Satan

I think cutting is wrong. but i also think that ppl have to fnd a way to get rid of the toxins in our bodies. I have a friend that use to cut because she couldnt cry to relive her emotions. but one day she finaly cried and stoped cutting. When times are really bad for me I usually cant cry, so all my emotions build up for a few mounth. I thought about cutting but then i turned that thought into writeing poems. but wehn my emothios got really bad jsut out of no where when iam sleeping i start crying and cant stop for a hour of so. I reall dont like emotional breakdowns but its better than cutting my self.

i used to cut myself all of the time. im trying to quit but it is really hard. i do it when i am so stressed or depressed that i can barely think. i mean sometimes i feel so numb i do it just to know i can feel anythng at all. i know that makes no sense to some poeple but it helps. but now i write in a journal or write poetry when i feel stressed but sometimes it just isnt enough. im in therapy now, and i find that talking about how things are going helps a lot. but i still have slip ups every now and then.

I just love it when people say that "there's no other way to deal with the pain."
Then again, bullshit always has made me laugh.
I started cutting when I voluntarilly slipped into depression. I was having a hard time, I don't remember with what exactly, but I'd probably say it was preasure from schoolwork. So, I decided to get rid of my emotions. It took awhile, but I eventually got it so that I litterally couldn't feel happy, angry, sad, or anything at all. I basically became an android.
Sure, I still went though the motions, smiling when someone told a joke, acting annoyed when my brother was poking me, but I really was just cold as hell inside.
Well, I wanted my emotions back, but I didn't know how to get at them. So, I started cutting to realeave the preassure that not feeling anything builds up inside you. I like the color of blood, the look of it, and most of all, the happiness it made me feel. Like someone else mentioned, it's all about endorphines. They're released into your bloodstream when you cut, and they make you (clinically) happier. Of course, it's temporary. It is, in all actuality, a drug. The razor acts as the stimulant, the endorphine to give you the "high".
So eventually I decided that it probably wasn't the best of habbits, and that dealing with the repression of my self though cutting wasn't the best of ideas, I decided to try to find a way to stop.
One of the most effective methods I found was to have a rubber-band on your wrist at all times. If the urge hits you, snap it. If it contiues, snap it harder, and harder, and harder untill it leaves. It helps supress it, and it more hurts than gives off endorphines, so it's negative-reinforcment to the habbit. It'll help you stop.
Secondly, if you can find anyone, and I do mean anyone (even a friend on the net will do) talk to them about it. Not necicarially about the cutting, but about whatever it is that's causing it, wether that be your parents, or school, or whatever. A counseler would be best, but friends work well enough.
Main thing is though to stop doing something, you have to recognise it as a bad habbit, and want to stop. If you don't want to quit, you'll fail ever time.
Now, I'm not dissing cutting as a whole.
There are a few reasons that I'd personally be OK with for cutting.I like the look of scars, and I think that it can be just the same as tatooing, a superficial thing. That's cool.
It might be just recreational, you just like the feeling. Cool, whatever you're into.
Reasons I don't find Ok are using it as a drug for it's own sake. Not something I'd encourage, but it's better than doing blow or something, I suppose.
But the main thing is, if you cut because you're angry, or depressed, or sad, it's really not the best way to deal with the pain. It's an unhealthy habbit, simple denial and escape of the root of the problem. There are much better ways of dealing with it.

Dragon Warrior X Hmm this is an interesting subject because its such a common problem these days.. needless to say its a bad thing bad people arent bad because the do it.. i have done it before but it was because i was in deep emotional hurt and was trying to distract myself.. i believe that sometimes people cut themselves because of emotional hurt but sometimes when they get used to the pain it can sometimes almost be an addiction cause they get a kind of rush from it.. also sometimes its attention seeking but personally i dont think it is a common thing for it to be attention seeking yeah, a few girls at school cut themselves and it is always for the attention.. its really annoying and stupid

I will admit that I have cut myself once. I was extremely depressed and I didn't really want death as much as to just feel something. I have always and still see cutting and the people who cut as weak and when I had cut myself I felt that I had let myself down and that made me feel worse. I have only told 2 people about it in real life and when I did I promised them that I wouldn't do it again. Now, whenever I think about cutting again I remember that promise and it gives me strength.

Honestly I don’t think cutting is all that bad if your not trying to kill yourself. I see it as a way to release the pain that I’m feeling. Personally I think cuts and scars are beautiful. Some people like tattoos and they hurt. So why is cutting any different. I can’t speak for al cutter when saying this though because I know everyone has different reasons for cutting.
I know that it says in the bible that your body is a temple for God to live in and you should take care of it. But since I don’t look at cutting as destructive then shouldn’t be ok?
I do feel guiltily bout it at times thought...
