Most people will tell u life is precious.. and that u shouldn't waste the charmed life u hav (ur able to access the Internet, you hav ur mum)... They'll tell you that you're hurting ur mum and those people around you that care....Those people are well-intentioned, and I would like to believe I hav a heart like them...But...
I think that if you are being completely honest here (and with yourself), then all the power to you. I feel like you seem to have underlying issues, though. So basically I think that you are running away, and that you don't want to own up to something... Fine, do whatever u want, but since you are a member of the planet earth's citizen's club, I say put ur effort/pain/determination/loneliness into something that will help the less fortunate. Or don't.
Life is full of choices.

Well besides the potential medical problems, you should definately stop. If you claim to not be depressed then why do you cut yourself/even think about suicide? And by harming yourself, you are hurting the people around you that love you. You need to find a non life threatening/non-intentional pain inflicting method to vent your problems.

To put it simply you have personal self esteem problems.
Take up more interests so you can get in amongst more people in your own age group so you can make some new friends. Take part and don't stand on the sidelines and project yourself. Its not easy feeling that you're alone and rejected. You have to turn things around and think at a different level.

First off, if you have cutting problems it is a major behavioral issue. You do need a way to stop.
I've been in the hospital here for a disorder of my own, chronic pain. I have seen others with cutting problems.
I hate to say it, but stop worrying about your mom and take care of you first.

yes, that is very wrong, if it keeps your mind off suiside then you are depressed. you need to stop immediatly.
if there is something in your life that contributed to you feeling like inflicting violence on yourself it could help to get closeure, think back, did the cutting start when a family member pass away, or when someone threatened your life, or when someone else was depressed and you felt sorry for them. harming yourself is just as bad as harming others, you have to realise that there are people out there that care about you, your life is treasured by great amounts of people, some people may even start harming themselfs because life without you is pointless. please, please, please stop or it may get more extreme like commiting suiside or attempting to. i can not stress this enough, please please stop.

Cutting is wrong if it gets to serious but im not one to judge. its better then trying to commit suicide. if you ever need to talk.
