I used to cut but now I relise how bad of an idea it is, but if someone is doing it I dont tell them that they arestupid cause it just makes things worse.
wow someone who has finally realised that telling us cutters that were stupid only makes it worse

You're just going to get the topic locked, and nobody gives a shit about some n00bs talking crap.

edit: oh, you;re one rank below me. I take back the n00b comment. You're still talking crap, though.

I think that it is a fairly harsh prejudgment, to judging someone who is either a cutter or suicidal. You cannot really understand the full extent of say depression or whichever emotional turmoil they are going through until you have been right there beside them.  

When i was younger, i would see on Tv cutters, and hear about suicide stories and such. I thought look at them thats pathetic and attention seeking fools. I was extremely judgemental. I acted as if i was above them in some way, like i see some people are right now. It was only when i found myself in that exact position wishing for something or someone to end me, did i realize the true feelings of such a complete destruction. You cannot sit here and slander people for their acts. As pittyful and pathetic as they are, it is just that. Depression is pityful. It is pathetic. What more do you expect?

Edit: Do not get me wrong. I do think that it is a serious issue and must be taken with complete care and support. Cutting is destructive and addictive and not a way, not the right way at all. So easy to begin and take that first cut. Fixing it is the challenge.

I think that it's a bad thing, although I understand why people do it. I don't try to preach to people that do it because I understand why. It just makes me sad,really.

I think some people that cant handle their problems choose self harm over dealing.

I can see why people do it, but I don't think it's necessarily a good way of coping with feelings. I have a couple friend's who do it, and mainly, they repress all bad feelings they have, which is not healthy. I'm not one of those people who says "I refuse to hang out with cutters", it's their choice, not mine. But I think it's becoming an overwhelmingly large trend in our society, which if evolved, could probably only get worse.

i don't particularly agree with any of the options...
I think it happens and people are justified in doing it, hwoever it's not the best way to cope. I've been battling self injury for a year and a half and not a day goes by where i don't think "wow, i wish i could just get it over with and then feel better" but I know that's not going to help me get better so i try to resist.
I don't really see why it should be illegal, i think it's a personal choice, similar to if you choose to drink or smoke.

It's not pathetic and it never will be.
