Cutting is not something a teen emo does as a trend or to get attention. It something anyone could do to deal with emotional pain such as grief, sadnes, stress, anxiety, depression and other stuff.a

Cutting can also be used by people as a punishment for themselves when they think they do something wrong.

Cutting can be done any where an a body but the most frequent places used are forearms/wrists and thighs.

When a person (usually a teen/young adult) has difficulties in life, they may resort to cutting themselves. This is exactly how it sounds, using a sharp object - any sharp object, often - and take it to your wrist/arm and cut yourself. This action becomes addicting after a while, and gives the cutter a "rush" and often makes them feel better.

Despite what many self-indulged non-cutters may say and beleive, it is not an act of "jumping on the bandwagon" and "fake troubles". Many times it is because they are abused or suffering from depression(the freaking President's daughter can get depression! Many times it has nothing to do with your lifestyle! GOSH!)

I mean tell me something. Would YOU take a knife/razor etc. and slice your arm up JUST TO BE COOL? This is NOT a fashion statement! This is NOT just to look cool! They are DEALING WITH THEIR PROBLEMS. Please, think before you post some stupid remark like many of these are.

Cutting is dealing with your emotions, not doing what everyone else does. Youre getting it confused with Abercrombie & Fitch.

1. Cutting is when you use a sharp object, such as a knife or razor blade, to cut yourself.
Cutting is not a 'Fad' or a 'Fashion Statement', I have done it, it's much more.
I was bullied nearly every day and I couldn't take it. I did it because I was depressed.
It's not for attention, and it's hard to stop once you start.
2. Cutting an object, such as paper with a knife or scissors.

Well, Since most of the info is covered here already, I'll recap. Sometimes the emotional pain can be too much. Sometimes you just can't cope with it all. Cutting offers a brief, if effective, relief. By causing shallow lacerations in the flesh, one releases natural endorphins into the blood which can ease pain or cause uplifting feelings. Many people who suffer from depression or single instances of strong emotional trauma resort to cutting as a way to escape the pain. Regardless of the chemical properties of self-inflicted injury, the fact of the matter is that if you have strong physical pain, then your emotional/mental stresses seem lessened due to the human brain's lack of multitasking capabilities. There are quite a few misconceptions circulating about "cutters" and the like. Many are attributed to being "emo fags," but in most cases such is not the truth. While it is true that many people in depressive moods tend to gravitate towards music that can convey the feelings that they are experiencing, Not all people who listen to such music are cutters, or even depressed. People who resort to cutting aren't "insane" or "unstable" because of this, although people who ARE unstable may cut themselves. Another misconception is that cutters are merely seeking attention. While this might be the case in some situations, it's not very common at all. Who would willingly inflict pain on themselves simply for the notice of another? People suffering from such advanced depression should not be vilified, but helped. Speaking as a cutter myself, I can say that anyone who is negative towards those with problems should take a nice big peek in the mirror and not be so quick to judge.

Is the act of inflicting wounds to yourself by using a sharp object like a razor blade, small or large knife and cutting places like your arms legs thighs and wrists. Although most people think that cutting has to do with just one group of kids it doesnt it can be with any type of kid like not all emos cut some jocks may cut even cheerleaders even people who you think have a perfect life most dont just because they dont show the world how their life really is and they put on a fake persona and try to act like everything is fine doesnt men that it is. You really never know whats going on with a person unless you are them even the prettiest girl is insecure. Just because they seem like they have a perfect lifge on hhte outside you never know what can be going on in the inside the could be being abused verbally or physically and once you start it becomes an addiction and is hard to stop even if you manage to stop you still have times in your life where you want to go back to it I use to cut because of stress and depression because i had to grow up at the age of 10 and now i dont have a normal teenage life I am in love with a 26 year old and im only 16 with everything that ive put myself through i don't relate to any of my friends and cant trust them with anything. Cutting can lead to suicide or other things. Just remember it doesn't affect just you it affects everyone around especially those who care about you

Half-filled cup of tea. The word is commonly used in restaurants and snack stalls across India.

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.

When someone wants to live but has to let the “darkness”. I cut almost every night and I hate it. I want to stop but then how do I let the darkness out? I tell a friend my problems and he tells me all the positive parts of them. If you are having troubles please tell a friend. If they are a real friend they will help you.

Cutting is a form of self harm. Cutters use sharp objects to harm themselves. They cut anywhere to just feel something.

I have a way to describe it to non-self harmers. Just hold your breath. Hold it until your chest feels like it might just burst and then breathe. You felt relief and that's what cutters feel.
