Question

????

Answer 1

you use a knife........

Answer 2

There are many reasons. Some people can accidentally cut themselves, like when cutting an apple and the knife slips..
One of the main reasons a person may cut themselves on purpose is becuase they have too much emotional pain. This emotional pain becomes overwhelming. By cutting themselves they are creating a physical pain. This physical pain is easier to deal with, takes focus off the emotional and releases certain chemicals in the body like endorphins. These endorphins ease the pain both physically and mentally. People often try to escape emotional pain by other similar means like drugs and alcohol.
People can cut themselves with pretty much anything thats sharp.

Answer 3

Well, for the most part, reasons vary, but there's one resounding answer that comes from the community I live in. (I grew up a goth kid...I know a lot of cutters.)

When you control the knife, you control the pain. It's something that you give yourself control over when everything else is spiraling out of control.

As for how, people generally get at parts that easily bleed, are tender, and are easy to conceal. The wrist, the upper thigh, the lower abdomen, the ankles, and the shoulders are most often targets.

Answer 4

People cut themselves with anthing that can puncture the skin - knives, razor blades, pins, paper clips.

The reasons are often complicated. It is called "self mutilation" and can be a cry for help, a cry for attention, a way to deal with hating yourself. Whatever the reason it calls for professional help from someone trained in this type of behavior.

Answer 5

people can cut themselves with anything, and I guess there's a lot of reasons they do it.

some people want to get the "bad blood" out of their bodies, as if making themselves bleed will turn them into good people. some people do it to feel the pain, to feel alive, or to see the blood. some people do it just because they're depressed and they've heard about other people who cut themselves.

Answer 6

First of all its do, not du.
second of all people cut themselves, because they feel like they are the culprit, like they do everything terribly, so they need to hurt them selves to rid them of the devils, that made them act that way.
third, if they don't cut them selves because of that, they cut themselves to, release anger and depression, they swear it feels good, and even helps them fall asleep at night.
most use Razor blades, but my ex - bf used a knife, i guess they use, anything.
umm may i ask why, you are asking, and are you contemplating on cutting your self, don't; because cutting is a disease, not a fashion trend.
