Self mutialtors often don't liek teh term 'self mutilation'.
People cut themself or burn tehmselves or otherwise harm themselves to get rid of emotions they can't let out. Often they can't cry so they cut. People who do cry and cut just cos their friends do are idiots.
Self hmutilators must not be forced into stopping, this really does not help.
Non cutter: Self harm is wrong
Cutter: It's not wrong, it's just the 'wrong way of going about things' (said bitterly)

Ok self mutiation isnt the best word in the world but wtf r some of u ppl chattin?!?! its not a way to proove ur an emo or anything like that its just a way some people decide to cope with things. people can cut them selvs or burn themselves etc. it may not be the right way to help these feelings but for the people who do it its all they can do. self harm is kind of like words you cant say. theres no ned to rip down the people who do it cause half the time their ashamed of it anyway and thy dont need others taking the piss.
"self mutilation is like words that i cant say"

it helps to make people take the pain out that they keep within themselves.
those who feel numb to held emotional pain need to feel something. cutting feels better than all emotional pain.

Just coz I have nerves, don't mean that I can feel
I wasn't very much fun to be with anyway

When someone (usually depressed or suffers from mental and/or physical illness) often cuts, wrists and thighs are most popular but it can go to rip ankles etc.

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"

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!!!

When emo's think they're like so so cruel and hard and start slitting their wrists and use a lame excuse of "no-one cares waaaaaaaaah" or "you wouldn't understand".
Guy1: Let's go watch Napoleon Dynamite
Guy2: That movie is soo sad man..
Guy1: Yeah, I self-mutilate myself everytime I watch it
Guy2: OMG ME TOO *starts crying*
Guy1: Here have some tissues.
