The need for self-harm is a sign of serious psychological illness and should never be brushed off as just "something I like to do". I had a friend in high school who used to cut herself and it only got worse over time, and I found out that a she committed suicide a few years after graduating high school. These kinds of things only get worse if left untreated, so the best advice anyone can give you is to seek help and do it now. The relief you feel from cutting is only temporary so you definitely need to find more effective and healthy ways to deal with your depression.

WOW...
Ok. I never said anything to the whole "my life sucks" or the overly dramatic depressive "I'm leaving" topics, but this just broke the camels back!

I understand this is an all ages forum, and that people have problems they have to deal with, but COME ON!
Do we really need to share everything we can to get some kind of response from other forum members? Why is there a need to make so many personal topics which ultimately don't serve the purpose of informing others, but rather to self-confirm one's need for Attention?!
I'm not trying to say that I'm not guilty of this; I've did my share in the past, but for such purposes I really suggest we need a Self-Help Sub-Forum.

Anyway...
There are many different reasons for the "cutting yourself" junk:
Stress:Cutting yourself as a way to relieve tension or aggression is not the best way in dealing with things. If you feel stressed, angry, helpless, w/e, join a football team, or mixed martial arts, or something which redirects the need to let of steam into something constructive for both you and the environment around you.
Sexuality: Cutting yourself as a means to achieve some sort of sexual pleasure (along the lines of extreme sado-masochism) can be very dangerous and should only practiced with 100% consent by all parties involved; Also safety should be a large factor in this. I'm not here to pass judgment. Whatever.
Attention: According to experience this seems to be the most common, both on, and off the internet. This is a lose-lose situation. You won't feel any better for doing it (obviously...) and you'll put your family and friends through hell, trying to figure out what they did wrong to facilitate this self-destructive behavior. ...also you'll look like a complete drama-queen in message boards...

Sorry for yet another a$$hole Minute from me, but JEEEESH...!

I... I really don't get this. How does cutting help you deal with stress and all that whatnot? There's nothing right about it and never will.

Ass hole. Im not doing this to get attention, Im doing this so that I can maybe find help or find someone to talk to about it. If you think that I am just doing this for attention then you are dead wrong. Dont bash this if you dont know anything about it. You are obviously some stupid punk kid who thinks that their life is perfect and that everyone else is stupid. Have a nice life.

now i know some ppl from school who cut themselves but i have never done it myself, even though i have been depressed for several years never just tried it, and for ppl that are cutting themselves should really stop. i dont know how ppl react to this in america but in finland you will be butted in a sanitarium for cutting yourself...

If you need help go see a GP or talk to someone close to you. Your going to find more help there than on a video game forum!!!

Use your initiative rather than starting a self harming topic for people of all ages to see.

Sorry guys, but this topic isn't going anywhere and I can see it turning into a flame-fest. Some in this topic have given good advice, so hopefully you can get something from that, but no good can come from discussing this further. Topic closed.
