Why Do Fat People Cut Themself?

Question

i know a girl that's on my block and sometime she would cut herself and on the tyra banks show today they showed a lady that would cut herself too and she's fat and ugly

Answer 1

its because they dont like they're body image they are depressed and they do it to relieve themselves and to calm themselves down...they like the pain and the blood...but not all fat people cut themselves..im not fat and i always cut myself because of depression and frustration..i was hospitalized for 3 weeks because my dad found a knife under my pillow...
so its basically to release bad emotions..etc.

Answer 2

Cutting (as it is called) is not just done by 'Fat' or 'Ugly' people. It is a form of self mutilation, that from what I understand, people, who are often depressed do to themselves because it is the easiest way to show and deal with the pains that they feel emotionally. I had a few friends in high school that did it, and when I asked them about it, they said it feels better than the pain they felt inside.

Answer 3

Hard when you care isn't it. What she is doing is for her own benefit a private thing just for herself. Most people who self harm are ashamed of the things they do but find the release it gives them is greater than the desire to stop. The good news is most people grow out of it. The bad news is some are very troubled people in a great deal of pain and they will swap one form of self harm for another for years...potentially doing them self great long term harm or worse. She does really need to talk to someone about this...but probably not anyone she meets every day at school/college. I am glad you have some insight and I hope she knows you are ready and willing to support her but please don't get dragged into the problem, try and stay on the clean and healthy side, so she has a positive role model.

Answer 4

its not just fat people (cuz im fat and i dont do it), its a depression thing. some people do it for attention, some people do it so they can feel something, whether it be bad or good, but most people do it not because it hurts, because they actually dont feel the pain, but because it triggers some kind of endorphins in their body that somehow makes them feel good. all i know is i had a friend who did that (and she wasnt fat), and she ended up killing herself, my two best friends did it as well, one of whom ended up dead, and the last memory i have with all four of us, was the three of them comparing the scars on their arms. to this day, it literally hurts my wrists just to think about it. you might want to get the girl on your block some help

Answer 5

no its not just fat people.. this girl really needs some help.. I had a foster daughter who did this and thought she hid it well.. untill one of my kids saw what she had done.. and we got her some help..maybe u should let someone know(teacher possibly) to help with this and give her a chance.. and be supportive as a friend.. as alot is going on with her emotionally.. alot of people dont understand why they do this.. but there are some sites on here might be able to explain some...

Answer 6

Is it only fat ugly people who cut themselves?

Answer 7

My niece is not overweight and she is a cutter.She is a very intelligent,beautiful teenager.It's anger turned towards inward,that's the reason why they self mutilate.It's called depression and no you don't have to be overweight.It's not as severe as major depression but it's still self-destructive.Hope that helps you understand.

Answer 8

Not only obese people cut themselves.

It's a serious psychological disorder. If you keep calling them names like that, you're only causing more of a problem while being a dick.

Answer 9

men and women - ugly and pretty, young and old, fat and thin - struggle with self-mutilation

it's also extremely common for people with eating disorders to cut themselves, and many people with eating disorders aren't overweight

Answer 10
