A form of hurting. Done to one's self by one's self. Now, I'm not sure about this, there could have been a time when this actually resulted out of depression, but in this day and age, it's becoming trendy, and popular. Everyone refers to themselves as "broken" now. Everyone thinks they have such problems. These people are called WEAK. Now sure, there are definitely people out there who have it pretty damn bad. But now, anything that makes anyone unhappy...they decide "Boo hoo, I'm gonna cut" WTF? Since when did "attempted suicide" become trendy?
"My parents hate me because they said I can't go to the Good Charlotte/Taking Back Sunday concert, so I'm gonna go cut myself so they feel guilty....>:)...I mean boo hoo"

Get the Self mutilation mug.Quite easily the stupidest thing you could do when you're depressed or angry. Also, it allows emo kids and 12 year old Marilyn Manson fans to prove to themselves and friends that they are hardcore.
1) Look at me, I cut myself, I'm such a manic depressive.
2) Marilyn Manson would be proud! Hail Satan!!!

Get the Self mutilation mug.Hurting yourself in any way at all. Remarkably similar to eating disorders and substance abuse. Can be a cry for attention, a type of self-punishment or just a way of letting out frustration and depression. No matter what the form or reason, this is a disease and a serious, widespread problem. It is also extremely addictive and leads to downwards spirals of reclusive behavior, guilt and high-risk living.
Self-mutilation can be cutting, head-slamming, wrist banging, scratching, picking, burning, bruising- anything painful.

Get the self-mutilation mug.Self-mutilation is when someone hurts themselves to release some form of pain. Usually cutting, pulling hair, burning, banging etc. Making fun of them is not going to help. Just because you have different ways of coping doesn't mean you should make fun of people that already have problems hating themselves etc. Self-mutilators need help they don't need people picking on them.
