Why do people think cutting is such a big deal?

When I was in year 8 my best friend was cutting and we all told her it was stupid, dangerous and she HAD to stop. I thought it was such a baaad thing but now I’ve done it every now and then for about a year and now I sort of think there’s really no problem here because it’s not serious pain and it’s not long term. But, if anyone sees it it’s like ‘OMG did you do that to yourself! Why? Thatt’s such a dumb thing to do! Promise me you won’t ever do this again!’

My personal favourite response was ‘I’m going to email a specialist!’

Well, why do people care so much about it? Its my body.

Answer #1

I have been cutting for 3 years my parents know I’ve been sent off for it twice but people shouldnt judge you its your fucken body and if cut to deep its really your buisness..it really helps

Answer #2

how are you cutting your wrists and missing the major veins you cant there length wise and “not going to deep” it doesnt matter if its deep enough to leave a mark it can do damage like I said before you just need to realize do you value yourself? enough to stop doing such a stupid thing I completely understand

Answer #3

Well, because people who haven’t done it are like “OMG YOUR HURTING YOURSELF” when it doesn’y hurt much, and think about it- a lot of people are like afraid of blood. You should respect you’re body though. Just sayin don’t get mad. I stopped cutting myself.

Answer #4

I do it too and I usually hide it… but I dont think its a big deal.. I mean its your body and you have the right to do whatever you want with it!

Answer #5

EXACTLY!

Answer #6

I’ve never gone too deep and I don’t do it in scary places like my wrist, I do it away from major veins & arterys but my mum has seen them on my arm before and yesterday she started freaking out because had a scratch on my hand (stupid place, I know) which I blatently did myself and she won’t shut up about it.

Answer #7

because cutting is a big deal.

Cutting shows how a pearson has no where to turn into It can damge everything in your life… Once you begin to cut it can become adictive and you cut more and more whit every feeling that you have… It starts little by little and then goes to you almost killing yourslef… It affects manny teens and still people think is not a big deal? NO people think it is a big deal… if you cut you need help, it means you have no control over your emotions… And his is not ment to be in a mean way… When people cut, it is Lowselfsteem They have given up They are depressed And feel alone..

1800-DONT-Cut Is a hotline you can call soo you can stop and also your friends because it can get dandreus… 1800-SUACIDE Also a hotline

GOOD LUCK:)

Answer #8

It’s really just because: You may feel like you always know how deep to go and know that it’ll never really harm you, but sh*t happens and one day it may go too far and cutting will lead to bleeding to death believe it or not. It can and probably will scar and when you get older and realize how dumb you were you’ll wish you never did it. It’s one of the dumbest stress relievers out there. Try a stress ball or working out.

Answer #9

Because cutters have low self esteem and don’t give a damn about their families (in my opinion). What happens if you cut too deep one day or someone finds out? Your family will be those suffering more than you do, because it’s not nice seeing a loved one hurt themselves in any form of way.

And there are better ways of dealing with stress and pain, self mutilation is stupid.

Answer #10

don’t exaggerate please! you die if you’re stupid.

Answer #11

umm hmm let me see, you can die!!!

Answer #12

obviously you can have a blood loss and die.

Answer #13

If it’s your body why don’t you treat it with the respect it deserves?

Answer #14

because you can die it all depends if you think that is a big deal or not…
