it's a way for them to deal with their emotional pain...by inflicting physical pain on themselves. contrary to what most believe, it isn't always a ploy for attention...and it isn't all about that person. however, it IS selfish. b/c the person isn't thinking about how it will affect others. i know b/c i'm a recovering cutter.

It could be a number of reasons but the most common thing I heard is that when people hurt themselves, they "feel better" from their problems or depression. Some see it as a game - testing their limit or how much pain they can take... things like that. Of course it's not good because their way of dealing with things may be keeping them okay now but in the long run, they're ruining their lives more than the original problem they had...

It's a disease that needs treatment immediately. You wouldn't deny a diabetic insulin, would you? The illness may be mental, but it needs treatment just as any physical one does. Get yourself, or your friend help.

i understand it. went through it in teen years.
Its a release and anger or other emotions that are negative when you are unable to release them in natural ways like talking.
Its stupid and i'm glad i dont anymore.
