Cutting is something that many people argue about, and don't really know the meaning. Cutting has been a part of my life for quite some time now, but it's not even me who's doing it. If people would've had to live the way i am for about a week, maybe they would understand a bit better. Cutting is a sign of depression. Depression does not always happen because of a serious event, or having a horrible lifestyle, because it's a disease. It's an illness. Cutting releases endorphins into the brain right after the cutting is done. It is known today as quite the fad, and is usually assumed to be done by "emo" kids. That's not true. Depression can hit any one, any gender, any age, and can also include eating disorders, and other self-harming things. Just imagine being in grade 7, and all the sudden that someone close to yous' sleeve rolls up. what you see will never leave your memory. Imagine seeing them in a hospital bed. Tubes and everything. Being force-fed, and having to LIVE there. Cutting is a serious problem, and though people abuse it for attention, don't label people and riducule them because of depression. If i had cancer would you come make fun of me?
there isn't really an example that i'm willing to write about cutting, so just take the time and think about it.

Get the cutting mug.The act of cutting your skin, with a knife, razor, etc. It releases endorphins into the brain, "stopping" pain, temporarily. I have a friend who used to cut, but he fortunately stopped. I don't disagree with it, but don't agree either. It's not jumping into the bandwagon, cuters just do it to release emotions, but in my opinion, it's psychological. I believe that there are better ways to release emotions than to slowly kill yourself every day/week.

Get the cutting mug.Cutting is usually the result of when a person that has a problem, usually that problem is that they lost a person close to them, and often doesn't know what to do. So the easiest thing for them to do is grab a sharp object and find somewhere on there arm and just let out all that pain. Most may say that an "Emo kid" may do it to themselves. WELL THATS A LIE! I am a person that has lived through it and often times it felt really nice and every time I did it it was the best thing that i had ever felt. But I later learned that the reason why i did it was that i lost a person. That made me realize that with one wrong flick of my wrist I could be dead. But that is all that i want to do, is die. It may seem odd but true. Most of the time you will find that you have this same thought. Well not most but some. and trust me the term "The fist cut is the deepest" it is true. But sometimes when that blade hits your skin you cant think its like your body runs only to do that. and trust me it is like an addiction. kind of like herion to Nikki Sixx, it was hard for im to quit yet here he is sober for more then five years. so trust me you dont want to underestimate the ability of one cut

Get the Cutting mug.Cutting is when you Take a sharp object like a razor or safety pin to cause self harm. You don’t have to be emo to cut. Most people cut because they are depressed and it’s a coping method. It’s not something to do for attention. Cutting is serious. In my experience with cutting it was an influential part of my life. I would cut to make my emotional pain go away and only feel the Physical pain of the razor. It’s addicting. You can rely on cutting so easily. It caused severe anxiety for me because I couldn’t wear clothing that exposed my arms or legs. I was scared that if someone found out they would throw me into therapy. It made me feel worse about myself as well. It made me feel ugly. I have so many scars covering parts of my body and I can’t forget that shit anymore. It’s always there. I had to stop swimming and I couldn’t have my boyfriend hold my hand. It’s such an addictive thing as well. Cutting was my drug. I had withdrawal symptoms and at times I couldn’t deal with my sadness and I would have panic attacks because I couldn’t cut. It may have helped me with a portion of a life but it takes more of the future.
“You cut?! You have to stop. You can’t keep using your razor like that. It’s not okay ”
“Don’t you realize. I can’t stop. Saying it once won’t make it disappear tomorrow and I’ll magically stop. It’s my drug and I’m addicted. It takes away the emotions. I can’t deal with my life. I need it”
