Answers:
I got away from family issues by joining clubs out of the house. Things like the Venturing Crew and stuff. And yeah, that meant forcing myself off my butt and away from the computer, which I love dearly.
Afterschool activities kept me away from home and let me meet a lot more people. Dangling over a cliff taught me how precious my life is. If you (safely) risk your life in an obvious way, your brain will kick in and say "I really do like life." Now I'm really not interested in doing anything stupid to my body. It's just not worth it anymore. I know I'm human and that eventually, I'll make a mistake. Besides, I have a lot more adventures to go on now, and a lot to look forward to.
If you're 18, I also suggest saving up money and going to get a professional full-body massage. Talk about stress relief! It's totally worth it, even if you only do it once.Health Question & Answer

It is bad, while you may feel its good and helps you to cope its still dangerous. You may accidentally cut too deep or something like that.
You should try to give up although it won't be easy now that you've done it for so long. But don't let that put you off. With the right support you can stop. And if you do at one time go back to cutting still try to stop. Eventually it might get easier.
You may wonder at times 'what else can I do.?' when things become too much for you. I've come close to starting it myself once, because I was so upset. But I already knew the side effects (knew someone who self harmed) knew it wasn't the healthiest thing on the world... Without thinking I released my emotions through art...Like drawing and painting. I wasn't even thinking while I was drawing I just grabbed the pencil and let my emotions guide me. I felt so much better afterwards.
Other ways you could do it if you know how to use Windows Movie Maker (or have any other film making software on your pc) pick a song that best describes how you feel and then make a video with it. That also helped me feel better.
Perhaps though, that isn't the same for everyone but hopefully you will find your own healthy way of dealing with it..

I have been an off and on cutter for over a year now. Mine is cause of family, friends, life, me. It is very bad, and there is a certain vain on your wrist that if you cut the wrong way, you could die. If you cut your thighs, stomache, etc. then that is a problem, cause if you cut there it is more hurtful, and that means the person wants to feel more pain. You should try and stop, throw out all of your "sharps", motivate yourself, get support, e-mail me if you want to talk, and try to find other ways to stop from cutting. Like I write poems, and draw, or talk to friends, or I come on yahoo and answer othe peoples questions, it makes me feel better knowing that I am helping someone instead of hurting myself. Hope I helped! :D

Yes its bad. I cut my arms a lot when I was about 14 and I'd always go around in long sleeves to make sure nobody noticed but after a few years I decided its the wrong thing to do and Ive made a concious effort not to do it again since then. Honestly sometimes I have felt like it but Ive learned to control my bad feelings and go find something else to do until I calm down. Its pointless, there are other ways to get rid of negative feelings.
I know it feels like a release and it is satisfying for a minute or two cause you feel in control again but you'll feel much better and in much more control knowing you have the willpower to stop it. I did, so I know it's something a person can overcome and not go back to.Health Question & Answer

It's not good for you. You might hit the wrong spot some day. May I suggest you speak to someone you can trust about this. It can get serious. Try talking to a guidance counselor or one of your friends parents if you have trouble talking to your parents. Please get help for yourself.Health Question & Answer

Of course it's bad to compound a problem by cutting yourself, I personally can't see the logic of it, you need to think more positively and stop acting this way, accidental injury is careless, but deliberate borders on lunacy.Health Question & Answer
