8) how you would help people who do cut.....2
why does everyone think that "cutters" should be helped? its a way of releasing pented up emtotion. of letting it out. the blood and pain takes on a whole new meaning, morphs into faces and angry words. regrets seem better. nobody trys to save the sports fanatics. their release from the morbidity they face seems more acepted. they burn their head's throbbing ache in a mass of sweat and burning muscle. no one tries to redeem the stressed out runners soul. he just keeps on running.3
i know its not the prettiest of sights. lines of white, pushing themselves out of young and old limbs alike.and the bandages, who knows4
what lies beneath. but its just human. is our obession as a race of concuring pain really going to the extreme that we wont even acknowlage it without trying to anailate it in some way? scar, injury, self inflicted, pain, hurt, destroy all. pain has to be here, in some form,wether it be more in mind or more in the body, it has to be there, it has to be in both.5
cutting will never anailate all emotional pain. no one who cuts themselves should believe that.6
people cut for different outcomes. for the scar, for the scab.7
for attention, yeah, a reason i dont like either. it contradicts everything i tried to say!8
but i will still acknowlage it.the idea of someone hacking away at themselves just to make others look makes me cringe. its a horrible way of getting noticed.you have your mind, voice and body for a reason.use it. you can hate it, but realise this, its all you've got.it is more your tool then the knife is.9
i believe cutting yourself should be something you do for yourself, not for the attention of others.10
selfharming is like drinking and taking drugs really. like anything that gets obsesive, adictive. if it works for you, so be it.11
they have to respect your decission to do so. 12
just dont let it control you. make sure those you love see you for who you are, not the scars. if you cut yourself, burn yourself, whatever and want to stop, ill listen with open ears. 13

Well I don't really agree with what you said here, though I liked the way you put your thoughts together. Anyway, I think some cutters might not choose it, what if it's some kind of an addiction to them? I never cut but I also had some problems with self-violence and I think some of these guys might just NEED to do it, whether they want it or not. Like some kind of drug, as you said. Anyway, great write, I think it could make people see more sides of the matter.

I really liked this. I think it's sad that people would do this for the attention. If they're really that desperate for attention, something's wrong. I also have to agree with the last commenter in saying that a new release should probably be found. I cut, and I'm not proud of it. I have many other releases, but none of them is good enough sometimes, and I resort to cutting. I think if I knew of a powerful release that was slightly safer I might be able to stop cutting. I really liked this though, as it made some very valid points. I agree with most of it.

brilliant
touched a nerve think by the comments!!!you have a point there lau, too many people do it for attention, and it just makes others sipte them even more so they cut deeper, its a ridiculous circle.
but it is a release, but i do think they should be helped to find a new release, they only have to slip too far... -
the stop in the thing should really be talk

alot of my friends are sucicidal. i wasnt trying to be unsensitvie, i know things arent as black and white as that. fuck im not that ignorant. though cutting doesnt always mean people are suicidal. that was what i was trying to get across. i just had someone tell me they love me who is suicidal so this is all close to heart. i never said i wouldnt help, believe me i do if i can.

cutting also helps suicidal people though. i was and still am suicidal although i no longer cut, but it was either that or death. it helped me cope with be suicidal. anyways, i liked this. keep up the great work.

well if some one does cut it probably means that they are suicidal... would you want one of your friends to be suicidal?? would you like them to try to kill themselves? wouldn't you want to try to help them so that they don't try to commit suicide?? i know i sure as hell would... (believe it or not i have gone through like 10 peeps try to commit suicide and i have tried myself..) i want people to be there and to help me through my trying times.... what do YOU think that THEY'RE gonna think if you don't try to help them?? they're gonna think 'oh they don't care about me so i might as well try to kill my self...' yea you know what i'm getting at?? i hope so.... if you would like to further discuss this you can IM me or if you have MSN or Yahoo! you can IM me (or add me) anytime... and if you need my names just IM me on here
