Cutters are people who believe either they need to release pain through cutting themselves or cut themselves to try and feel something.

people who cut themselves for, mostly, one of two reasons:
1)to feel something at all
2)to realease there inner pain
most of the time it is done on the wrist and is hidden with a wristband, or jacket, long skleeved shirts, etc...but can cut anywhere. do not usaully want paople to know. it really does help some people SO DONT JUDGE US

A reference to the 1979 movie Breaking Away. The more affluent Indiana University students use "cutters" as a derogatory term for locals related to the local Indiana Limestone industry and the stonecutters who worked the quarries.

Okay, briefly, cutting is a coping mechanism, though not necessarily a good one. I do not condone the use of cutting to solve problems despite my own history with it. Mary of Nazareth your arm was inspiring, it the way mine would if I hadn't given my knife away.
Cutters do not often want attention and if you have a friend who does cut for attention, beat the shit out of them because it can become addictive. Medically cutting releases endorphins making a person feel better and certain cutters enjoy the sight (and personally taste) of their own blood. Cutters often cover up their cuts with anything from long sleeve shirts to shea butter to reduce scarring.

Cutters use, but are not limited to (don't underestimate a person's ingeniunitey when they need to satisfy a craving): razor blades, exacto knives, scissors, jack knifes, switch blades,.. saws of various types, and glass.

If you know someone who is a cutter, well don't follow any set advice, your friend may not be suicidal at all, in fact they likely aren't. For those of you who have addicted friends trying to quit, watch them closely because they usually have the incredibly strong urge to make extreme lacerations. Personally, as a cutter trying to quit my withdrawal often leads me to wanting to use suicide grade cuts.

Cutters are not all emo fuck ups, we're normal people too, and some of the nicer ones at that.

Cutting is a way of releasing anger, sadness, or other feelings by inflicting pain on oneself. A cutter usually will slash at their arms, wrists, stomachs, and other body parts in an effort to draw blood. Sometimes, cutters will attack parts of their body they dislike (i cut my face several times). Contrary to common belief, a cutter is not always emo/goth. I used to be a cutter myself until a few months ago, and I am not in any way emo or goth. I listen to rap and play sports all year (emos listen to rock/metal and skate). A cutter will usually try to hide their scars with long sleeved clothing and cover-up, but this is not always effective. Cutters are not always suicidal, this is often a misconception. Sometimes normal people will cut as a result of the death of a friend or a breakup, but this is uncommon.

People who deal with emotional loss/pain differently than you.
NOT someone who wants to commit suicide or wants to die.

A person (e.g ME) Who cuts themself when they get depressed, and can't deal with stuff anymore. It is a release of depression, makes people feel better. Cutting is a way of self harming. to take situations out of your system, by hurting yourself.

The act of using your body as a canvas to paint the tears of your heart.
