I do it, not very often though. Since I wear shorts in the summer, I can't let my parents see the cuts, so I stopped mostly for the summer. But I think it feels good and helps with the pain of life. And whenever I fall and make myself bleed, it doesn't hurt; it feels good. So all the people who say its useless and there's no point, then you've never experienced real pain.

You will never understand to the full extent of something unless you have been through it yourself.
I used to self harm just for the fact that for that split second all the pain inside my body was released and i was free..just for that split second..
Physical pain can never amount to emotional pain..
I stopped self harming as i knew it wasnt right and it wasnt making my life any better, it was leading me down a path, so i stopped and i havent regreted it a day since

I voted for it should be illegal because I don't think anyone should afflict pain upon themselves. Hurting yourself is like hurting another person. It just flat out isn't right and you shouldn't do it. No matter how mad or angry you are there are other ways to stop the pain then to cause even more pain to yourself.

It doesn't hurt

I believe that it's a valid, and very effective (although potentially dangerous) way of dealing with stress, fear and angst. Works for me, always has. I'd go so far as to say that I'm an advocate for it not being frowned upon.

Wow, 3%? I think a lot of people who SI don't want to die, they just need a way to relieve the mental pain.
