Self mutilation
harming ones self on purpose.(burning,cutting,
pulling hair, hitting, etc) It is NOT an attempt, or even a sign of suicide. It is not only "emo" or goth
kds that do it. Many people do. Some people do it because of depression, attention seeking, and many other reasons. It is not a sign of weakness, it is
a cry for help! I know, because i used to cut! And saying bad things about us don't make us better...when people cut it can be just for trends, or for deep emotional problems!! SO STOP SAYING IT IS A TREND OR THAT THEY ARE TRYING TO BE HARDCORE!!! THAT WAS THE LAST THING ON MY MIND WHEN I DID IT!!..........stupid fags....

The practice of
harming oneself (on purpose) in some way. There are many reasons people do this,
self-mutilation (or: self harming, self injury, etc) is often linked to depression, high anxiety or self-loathing. If you harm yourself you need to get help, tell a teacher or a parent or look in your
phone book for a help line.

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.
Example:
Non
cutter: Self harm is wrong
Cutter: It's not wrong, it's just the 'wrong way of going about things' (said
bitterly)

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?

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 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.

Hurting yourself
on purpose, such as cutting. For some people it's for attention, or the need to feel manipulative, but for
most it's because of fdepression. It's a
coping mechanism, It helps you deal with strong emotions.
