ive been there. Started in the 7th grade, now im going into 10th. It just gets worse, but I understand that you can't tell anyone. I haven't (willingly that is). Have you tryed snapping rubber bands on your wrist? That helps me. But um, if you want to talk to me about it you can. my email is sasabrim@yahoo.com I'm 14 by the way. Theres nothing wrong with you. Your a normal person. Everyone has an escape in life, ours just doesn't happen to be healthy...cutting isn't ok, your right about that. But that doesn't mean your some kind of abnormal freak lol! just remember that your not alone, and there ARE people that care (including me!). Stay strong! We'll make it through.

Sounds like you've gone through some heavy times in the past 2 yrs..found a way you think is helping you cope with the pain you're locking up inside* Cutting isn't the answer. I'm glad you've realized it's not right...that's the first step* You can get through this. Some ppl go to see a phyciatrist/phychologist, some ppl decide to take control of their life and get involved in something they enjoy, music., learning an instrument..something to focus on when the times come that you feel you need to cut. You also do need to tell someone. If you don't want to tell your parents, and you're obviously hiding your scars...is there not a Friend, that you can confide in?? You need the support of someone being there for you when you feel you've had enough and you're at the point where you're contemplating cutting to ease the pain. Don't hold your pain in anymore* ! You can get through this! You can stop*! Like anything else in life..it's not going to be easy but is soo worth it when you accomplish your goal. (whether it's stopping smoking, or taking drugs, or alcohol, or whatever it is...You Need To Talk about it with at least One Person You trust*. Think about when you're older in 5 even 10yrs from now and you have these scars..You can STOP now and prevent more scars* these scars will fade and you can move on with your life. You don't see it now as you're depressed , so please...get the Help you need and deserve* Whatever you've been through, tragic emotionally/physically...You need to work through this and get yourself Better* I wish you all the Best* May the Angels Always Be With You* :)

I know exactly what your talking about, my daughter dealt with this. What you have is a disease and you need help, just like someone who drinks to much should go to AA. This is a very dangerous addiction! One slip and your done! You must tell someone that you can trust, a good doctor can help you and possibly give you some medicine until you get it under control. There ARE underlying reasons you are doing this, and you have to work through them. Do you have brothers or sisters? If you do, than do it for them, unless you want to see one of them dead because they hit a vain while trying to be like you. One more thing, it may not seem like anything now, but sooner or later the scars will be bad and they NEVER go away! This new epedemic is hitting teens in every social level, parents you must watch for this and get help right away!

Hey;
I'm 19 - and I've been struggling with cutting since I've been 14 years old. You're right about liking the feeling. Cutting releases many of the same chemicals that some drugs do - heroin, I believe it is. So you're literally getting "high" off it. Coming off it is a lot like coming off a drug. I know you say you can't tell anyone, and I know what that is like. It makes life more difficult. Have you tried other ways of stress relief? My shrink told me to wear a rubber band around my wrist and snap it when I feel like cutting. It hurts, but doesn't leave scars like the cutting does. Holding ice cubes also helps.

If you really want to stop, you need to tell someone. I know that isn't what you want to hear, but it is what you need to do. If you're embarrassed about cutting, find someone that has to keep stuff confidential. Find a counselor, doctor, clergyman, someone you can feel comfortable talking to. We here at Yahoo!Answers are not really qualified to give you the help you want/need. I am going to pray for you right now.

Well I think cutting is like a drug sometimes. I am the same way. I find sharp things and I cut myself to test them out. It's akward but I do it. I can work with you on this and I think we need to just be pre-occupied with something else and throw away all sharp objects...

U said no1 knows around u -- dont u have scares? The cutting brings a sense of euphoria rite after - or would draw the pain 2 that area instead of the actual area that causes pain. The only think Id suggest is a therapist - its private, confidential - no 1 has 2 know. Explain 2 them that ur not trying 2 hurt urself or r suicidal.

I'm sorry, please just throw out every single sharp blade in your home. And see a physiologist or something, please!! I'm sorry but I can't really help you with this! :(
