I don't think it's pathetic-- I think it's a cry for help.

in some ways i want it to be but no one comes to help

You know, if you ever want help, you can talk to me. I promise i will listen and do whatever i can to help.

i don't inflict pain upon myself, but i do see how people can begin to think that it takes away depression.  i think that people like this just need someone to talk to to help them get over it.  i guess it's like an addiction.  once you start, it's hard to stop.

I cut and all I want is help but I don't get any

I have almost commited suicide so many times now taht I can't even count

here is the thing...this part is an edit...no matter how deep and often you cut it only give you a high for a couple of minutes or so...you feel good for a minute then all the pain starts rushing back...it isn't worth it to cut...I have been cut free for almost 3 weeks!!  people dont' cut anymore...It isn't worth it!!!  It only causes more pain

I can understand and empathize with people who self harm, but I do not "agree" with it.  I think that there are healthier and more affective ways of coping.

I can understand why people do it. I don't think making it illegal or banning it in any way will stop people from doing it.

Why would making it illegal help? If they are gonna kill themselves it's not like they are gonna be around to face the penilty for doing it. An d if you are talking about people hurting themselves well people are gonna do whatever they want to do to themselves no matter what and that would be taking away a lot of rights if a person can't even have controll over what they do to their body. I'm not saying it is right but there is no possible way for it to be made illegal. And sucicide is just a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Life moves on and gets better.

i dont think many people here see self harm on the same level as a self harmer does.  you may have done it in the past when you got mad or whatever, and thats one level of it.  becoming dependant on it is another, one which seems alien to alot of you.  it can be like any other addiction when it takes you over.

i can't really say, because i've been cutting for about a year now. it helps me so i don't commit suicide, but i'm a dumbass for not learnung better coping mechinisms to my problems and mood swings that accompany my bipolar. you can't say its stupid and know what you're talking about unless you're a cutter and know how it feels/felt.
