Which is, actually, a good idea. Anyone who self mutilates has a trigger. Other than getting professional help, figure out what your trigger is and avoid it at all costs. When something does trigger your urge, it's hard... but do something else. Get your mind off your trigger and off your urge.

I CUT myself

I had a friend that used to do that...it is not a weakness, it is a PHASE that not all teenagers go through, but is common nonethless if you look close enough. You cannot tell a person that does this to stop or do something else and expect them to listen because they won't. She is right, do not judge her if you haven't been there yourself because you have no idea why people do it. The only reason i know is because my friends does it.
It is a phase alot of teenagers go through to hope to release them from their problems. My friend did it day after day, I must've punched him, cussed him out, supported him to stop, anything you can think of. The ONLY reason he stopped after three years of cutting himself was because he got over the phase.
My advice to you, is to help yourself. When you get in a phase like this, you can't look to others, because you know you will not listen to them. I gaurantee that when you stop doing it, you will look back one day, and remember how retarded it was to cut yourself.

If you want to stop cutting try other stuff like Salt and Ice(I done this many times)or try burning urself.These may feel a little bit more painful than cutting but its an alternative(sp?)to cutting and it works just the same.

Burning yourself is just as bad as cutting, they're both self-mutilation and indicative of serious psychologic disorders (or at the very least definitely issues that require professional help).
That was of no help to this thread hun. If you burn yourself or inflict pain upon yourself, you are in just as much need of help as those in this thread.

First off, stop typing in this small font. It is annoying and I dont give a fuck what your personal preference is. Think of it as school, you only pass if you use the right font.
Second off, the post right above this was unecessary (your first post on this page). Dont be a cunt.
Third, trading one pain for another is not right. It is just as dangerous.
Kids who cut need to seek help. You should not have to face anything, especially your pain, alone. Talk to your family doctor, who is obligated by LAW to keep it secrety. Talk to the teen age hotline, but fopr fuicks sakes, don't trade one demon for another. Thats about the stupidest thing i HAVE ever heard.

Yet again, I have to praise you, DG.
Cutting is a serious thing. I've had my problems in the past, and self-mutilation was one of them. When it started, I didn't even think anything was wrong with it. I was only ten, and it was fun to hurt myself. Then the problem increased, and I started doing it as a 'punishment' to myself, like if I hurt someone's feelings, or I did something wrong. Finally, I just got fed up with everything and attempted to end it all. Thank GOD it didn't work.
I agreed to seek help, and told my mother about it. I've been cut free for over a year now, thanks to my psychologist and counselor, and my scars have almost completely all gone away, thanks to the topical medications I've been using for them.
EDIT:
I've also found that a better outlet for my feelings rather than self-mutilation is writing poetry or lyrics.
