Answers:
Well, since you're asking what's causing it, it's of course depression. Depression can be caused from trauma in your life or bullying, abuse, sometimes even genetics. There are tons of reasons, I suggest you do some further research. As for now, please try to stop. I know it's terribly difficult and you probably won't be able to stop, but please just try really hard. I know you probably don't care right now about having scars from this, 30 years from now, but believe me, you will. At first I didn't care either, but it's been a year now, and I am missing so many things from my life. I can't go swimming, I can't even wear anything other than longsleeves. My family doesn't know, but I think my sister might have seen it by accident before. She doesn't care, she just keeps dropping hints about how she hates people who cut, because she thinks it's all for attention. There's those annoying little people who make a tiny scratch and are all "OMFG SELF HARM I'M DEPRESSED!!" and go show everyone and post a million pictures on facebook of the cuts 'accidentally' showing. And there's the people who actually have problems, who hide their whole lives and never ask for the help which they desperately need or they commit suicide. I can't give you advice about how to ask for help, because everyone I've told has just deceived me. At my school, everytime someone tells the councelor something, the councelor writes a detailed report on what they told them, and emails it to all their teachers. It's really weird, I have no idea why. But if you tell someone at school, even a teacher, chances are, everyone will know by the next day. Maybe go to a proffesional councelor, they can actually be trusted. Because they spend tons of years in university studying hard, and if they even let a detail slip once, they can be fired. Most people don't understand cutting, and they just won't care or they'll make fun of you for it. I hope you can be brave and ask for help but be careful because you never know who you can trust. Stay safe luv <3Health Question & Answer

Cutting yourself is anger turned inwards. You need to find a therapist and work through your anger in a positive way, so you can stop harming yourself. Possibly go on an Anger Management Programme as well.
A lot of people have addictions and manage to get over them. So you can stop if you want to.
You need to replace this deadly habit with a healthy positive habit. Maybe replace it with using cutting in a positive way such as woodwork, or whittling. Or everytime to get the urge to cut, write a poem on what your feelings and urges are telling you. Or draw a picture of how you are feeling in a modernistic, abstract, way. Write along your arms, in big letters with a felt pen, a telephone help line phone number, that you can phone, when you get the urge to self-harm. Please get help. You deserve the opportunity to learn to respect yourself, and love yourself, more.Health Question & Answer

All jokes aside (and i do have quite a few). You need to talk to some one about it. Doctor, mom, dad, older brother/sister. Just not any one your age, so none of your friends, or any one involved in a church!Health Question & Answer

Get medical treatment if needed for the cuts. Look into something called DBT therapy and see if you can find a group and a therapist in your area that does this type of treatment. You may find it very helpful.Health Question & Answer
