i use to do that all the time back when i was in 6th grade. i didn't do it to make myself feel better. i done it becasue you get scars from them and you can do your own designs and i liked the burnign feel and the pain. but boy can they get infected. they pus and a long time to heal. well if your doing it because it makes you feel and good and your significant other is doing something like that you both need to ask why you are doing it and get help. doing something for the fun of it like i did and doing what your doing is 2 different things. your doing it to get rid of what every you have problems with. thats the problem with it. it was dumb as i look back but cool at the time. and giving them to other kids that done it becasue they thought they were cool too. it was like a group thing in school. that was the good old days.

Hey, first off, you are not alone in this world with eraser burns! Many many kids at my school give themselves eraser burns... and in a way it makes sense why everyone does it.. But those scars will stay their for life, so maybe when you get older, your kids will ask you what are the scars on wherever you may have "erased your pain" away from. But their are so many understandable reason why people cut themselves or do any self mutilation. And never listen to anyone if they tell you you are pyscho or emo for doing that! You should feel absoulutley wonderful to have someone who cares about you for hurting yourself. Your boyfriend is prolly a good one cuz why would anyone want to see the one they love be hurting themselves. maybe you should explain to him why you do it... speaking of that, why do you do it. i am not going to tell you that you need a counselor, because just like counceling, cutting/eraser burns are just another way to vent your feelings. But is there anyone you could talk to about that? My best friend laci went through a stage where she was cutting herself and it hurt me so much to see her do that to herself. she is such a great character and i love her so much and to see her do that to herself just broke my heart. i would lay on my bed and ball my eyes out because she was cutting herself. maybe that is how your boyfriend feels about what you are doing. that was just my advice. you can take it our leave it, whatever floats ur boat love,sing your heart out

My question to you is Why are you doing it?? Why does it make you feel better? There are some unresolved issues here besides the earser burning!
email if you wish.

I would figure they are mental. And therefore not a fit mate for a sane person.
