My sister used to. but she found some great coping skills. she is bipolar.
She has found a love of art, writing, music, and cleaning house. When she REALLY wants to cut, she takes an ice cube in her hand and holds it really tight. It hurts but it is harmless. Then, she does whatever coping skill she is in the mood for.
It has worked wonders for her.
Good luck. This too shall pass

If your having an issue with someone or something maybe you should seek a counselor.
Your not just hurting yourself, your hurting others as well.Do you actually want your friends and family set up an arrangement for your wake/and funeral?People do care about you and pay attention you no matter what the circumstances are, but if you feel the need your having problems then write down how you feel.There are some people whom get you, and others ask why or how stupid it is.Do you actually believe cutting is the only way to run away from it all?In the way i look at things, the only reason why people are suicidal is becos they have problems they cant deal with in life,try to get the attention they need..but that's not how you go about things of trying to put your life on the line.Its not gonna solve anything to your situations why do it in the 1st place.
There are MANY people whom care about you weather you believe it or not.Think smart and make the right decisions in life.

Self-harm does not equal suicidal. Many people do it in response to anxiety, but lead normal lives and do not have an overwhelming death wish. It's like the parrot in a cage that pulls out its feathers... I used to self-harm, but have not done it for years. It is usually something that goes away with time. Try and think of some alternative that does not involve scarring, blood loss or the risk of septicemia. Try an elastic around your wrist - snap it when you get tense.

I do, but I know it's not right and I'm trying to change.
But it's hard, because to me it's a easy way cope with things.. to feel relieved, in control and calm...But I know this is not the way to cope all..
And I'm no Emo or cutting for attention, that's not my motives, but alot of people who don't understand will think that's all there is to it.

My younger cousins do...especially those who are screaming for lots of attention when they're already blessed with plenty of blessings but they simply want more and more in life. They reinvent the term 'attention deficit disorder'; they think they don't get enough attention from their parents.

No I don't I knew a girl who used to it was 'casue her self esteem was so low that she hated herself, I know you don't want help or care what others think but you really need to rethink what you are doing

That is not a good thing to do! You could seriously hurt yourself. One of my friends died from that. So if you want your friends to hurt like i did then go ahead, but if you really care about your friends feelings then stop! ASAP
