People cut because they think it's a stress reliever, like maybe turning on the stereo would be to you. IF they cut deep enough they can get a rush from it, and feel like they are almost dead, so they want to see how close they can come to death. Basically they controll when they die not god/ or whoever they believe in. They think if they watch the blood flow out of their wrists or wherever then they are letting all the anger/tension out. Some people do it because other people do it, some do it for attention, some do it for pity/ drama.

I think those people are mentally ill. There are some extremely extreme cases Ive heard of. I think there are a lot of causes for it. Like low self esteem could be one. One case I heard of I thought was the most insane was one where this German man posted messages on the internet that he wanted a volunteer he would butcher and kill. This one guy came forward and let him do it. He was a cannibal and also was gay. The cannibal tortured the volunteer at will. He stabbed him with a knife in his neck and let him bleed to death which took 10 hours (all at the will of the volunteer). He than ate him up. He taped the whole killing and the investigators had to take counceling cause it was very graphic. Read more here: http://www.answers.com/topic/armin-meiwes

They're lonely and they don't feel the pain, so they cut...I have known many people that I have helped overcome this issue, it's hard because it's like bulimia, you don't feel right unless you vomit, in this case cut yourself.

For some, it is because they are in so much mental pain that they create another pain to distract them from their depression or anxiety... kind of like when you have a headache and you pinch yourself or pound your head to make it seem like your head isn't hurting so much. Does that make sense?
