you really should go and get some help. i know that is the typical answer but you really should before it becomes very addictive. cutting becomes an addiction or habit (out of my experience) and i know how you feel. it is hard to turn to someone, but i would seriously suggest a really (REALLY) close friend or someone you can trust, or go to your school counselor before it gets worse.

This behavior is masochistic (which is sadism turned inwards) as well as compulsive. It is an expression of hostility and anger. I used to cut myself. It gave me relief for a while, but not for long.
People who cut themselves need help. I derived a great deal of benefit from going to therapy, but I also continue to take anti-depressants and a medication to help control my anger. It was a long process, but it was worth it. Good luck!

well the first step has been done dear, you need to talk to a health professional, your family doctor, perhaps you should throw you razors away for now and stick to a cream that would remove the hair. Seek help immediately before you get carried away.

You really need to speak to some one personally about the way you feel do it now before it is too late.

You have started self-mutalation and honey it is not a path you want to go down. You need to talk to your doctor. You sound like your depressed. Cutting is only a short term relese but, it is not the way. please get help!!!
