Answer 1

Dear Lala_world_lover... First not everyone is like your parents. I am shocked that you cut yourself. You really really really should talk to someone that you respect, as soon as possible! A teacher, a doctor, a religious person, a neighbor, a friend, or anyone you feel that you can talk to about this. I feel you should get help as soon as humanly possible, because it is a very very bad sign you are cutting yourself. Please stop, for me anyway, even though you don't know me, I care about you! Talk to someone as soon as you can and get the help you need. Please! Thank you!

Answer 2

Well some main reasons people cut is
-because it shows the pain your feeling in a psychal way that others can understand
-the cuts/pain make you feel real and alive
-you feel you deserve it and its a way of punishing yourself
-the sight of blood dripping down
-realeses pain from some trama

Those are all reasons why I do it. You may just not be able to deal with little issues as well as other people, so when something stresses you out or makes you mad thats all it takes to want to cut. And since its become so "popular" now it seems like something to try. But it becomes addicting and now even though you havent had a bad life you just dont cope with little things well.

Try doing something else to preoccupy your hands and keep your mind off stuff that bothers you when you feel the urge to cut. It doesnt necisarily mean you have serious problems, just that you cant cope as well with little stuff.

Talking to someone when you feel like you need to also helps. You can email me anytime if you need to talk to someone. Ive been cutting for quite awhile now and am here to listen if you want.

Cutters always have a reason to cut, usually it is to numb emotional pain, or just for attention. Your parents know about it and don't care! geeze, if my parents found out i'd be in a mental Institution. Sounds like your home life may not be that great if your parents are that ignorant to your problems. Try your best to stop cutting before they get too deep. It all starts out with the little scratch, and then the cuts have to be deeper and deeper to satisfy the cravings for the endorphin drug. Dont get stuck in this trap!

Answer 4

If you are cutting yourself, even though your life is good, something isn't good. It may be some aspect that is not in your control or painful even though everything else seems fine. Cutting is a dangerous outlet for your problem. You are at risk for infection for every cut that you make and you are giving yourself permanent scars that you may find embarrassing later. The fact that your parents aren't very concerned is very upsetting to me. You need to seek some help if you don't stop this completely and immediately. This is serious.

Answer 5

I notice some people do this to. They like to experiment with sharp objects or body parts because they are almost fascinated with themselves. It is no reason to why they do this but it keeps them occupied if they are bored or have nothing to do. Not all of our actions can be explaned. :-)
But some reasons people cut themselves because of self hatred can involve :

= They want to be noticed because they have lacked attention or love from a parentel or close friend figure in their life. And the cutting will draw attention.

= They want to have help such as (physciatry or therapy) but they have no other way to say it. So when people se the cuts they willl demand help for that person.

= They hate themselves and are ashamed of what they have done and dont have any care for themselves anymore. ex.. (they might have hurt someone)

=They are alone and have a sensation to feel pain.

= They want to be more popular because they want to be gossiped about. And be the popular person that they were never.

= Or in your case, They do not know why. But its almost like a habit. You havent' delt with much mental pain. But its something to do that cannot be explained

Answer 6

I think that some of these answers are quite insensitive..
I mean i do it sometimes i don't know why, i think its because people deal with frustration sadness and emotions in different ways.Some shout some cry some cut ect. But in all i think we both need to sort this out b/c one day, you might just do something you regret and then i think your parents would be horribly concerned, I think talking to a teacher a friend or you mom or dad but you can't do it forever..!

Answer 7

Yeah, it means that deep inside you're not happy even though you may think you are...I cut for a number of reasons:

to numb out emotional pain (physical pain is easier to deal with than mental)

To assure myself that I am still alive and can feel (blood means that I really am alive-I know it sounds crazy but it's true)

To release anger, frustration, any hard feelings

Answer 8

for sake of yourself and others who care about you, pls don't do that anymore. do you feel cool with those cuts on your wrist? what are your parents doing? why aren't they worried about you?

did you tell your best pals about it? if you have any problems, do say out. don't ever keep it inside your heart. there will be people who will lend their hears to share your problems.

i've a classmate who always use the blade to cut her wrist whenever she was sad about her relationship. my friends and i eventually trying to help her about the problem. when asked why did she do that, she didn't cry nor fustrated about it. she actually smiled, and thought that this would stop her from thinking much.

when you look at all the cuts on your wrist, what are you thinking of? for someone? for some kinda coolness?

that's really a dumb thing to do.
well, do take care. consult someone.

Answer 9

Oh my goodness...you definitely have a problem...I promise. Cutting yourself is no joke. It doesn't matter if you live like a freakin' king in the lap of luxury...if you're cutting yourself you have a mental sickness. No joke. Go see someone...TODAY.

The fact that you're parents are more concerned bothers me. You are their child and they should be the first ones to realize that this is a very serious situation. Please, go get help. You can end up hurting yourself.

This question really makes me sad and sick...I'm sorry but I'm trying to emphasize how serious this is. Its very bad. Go take care of yourself.

Answer 10

yeah, thats not good to cut. Your lucjy your parents dont care or else you would probably be in a behavorial health center (a.k.a mental hospital) thats what happened to me. Maybe your just addicted to it, because i had lots of problems, still do but even when i wanted to stop i couldnt. It took me about 5 months to stop. But thats kinda weird that your parents dont care. You should talk to a close freind or a counsler. Good luck, if you ever need someone to talk to feel free to message me.
