And no, I don't think it's normal, but it is also not as weird as people make it out to be. I think childhood can make an impact on if someone cuts. When I was little I used to self harm in other ways, plus I was taught to keep my emotions to myself, so that also effected on weither I cut or not. Cutters are just like everyone else. In fact you may know someone who cuts. itakenbut Posted at 6:54 am on Oct. 15, 2008 well ppl can cut them selves i used to i cut cuz i was depressed my friend cuts cuz she has problems and yea its normal if they have a healthy amount of blood radshelb Posted at 6:30 am on Oct. 15, 2008 1. no.  so it's considered normal because that's how a portion of the teenage population decides to handle their problems? 2. i had an excuse to cut myself. i guess it wasn't an excuse, but more like a reason.  reason and excuse have two different meanings. 3. no, many people who cut themselves seem like they have normal lives. JulieisWHOA Posted at 6:28 am on Oct. 15, 2008 I've cut before...way back when...but I think it's stupid. No one is normal, so you can't call cutters normal. I just don't think there is an excuse to do that to yourself. You should seek help. akSamiRae Posted at 6:27 am on Oct. 15, 2008 Quote: from chicka2011 at 6:24 am on Oct. 15, 2008 i really dislike when people ask questions like these... i used to cut.. and no body really understands unless they've done it. not saying u should. just dont judge something ur not familiar with. and no its not normal because obviously self harming isnt normal. and yes there are excuses. look it up. do research. people have diff reasons. no i dont concider people who cut outsiders because the most random people you would never guess, do cut.   I already have an understanding, I just want other people to understand, I do cut, and is trying not to... Hard! any tips on how to stop? (preferable without going crazy) Thanks for your input. RIMHfire Posted at 6:27 am on Oct. 15, 2008 It's sad to say that it is a common thing now. It's bad to do because not only does it hurt you (in more ways than one), it also hurts those around you that care. rainingxXxsunshine Posted at 6:24 am on Oct. 15, 2008 Do you think that it is okay for people to call it 'normal'? Why or Why Not? I don't think so, because even though it's like... really obvious sometimes, and a lot more people are doing it now, it's not normal. Is there an excuse for anyone to cut? What would those excuses be? (If any) i don't know. everyone cuts for their own reasons, I guess those are considered excuses? Do you consider people who cut to be 'outsiders'? Why or Why Not? Well, if they completely throw themselves out of society and don't make an effort, then yes. but if they try to make friends and can have fun then no. chicka2011 Posted at 6:24 am on Oct. 15, 2008 i really dislike when people ask questions like these... i used to cut.. and no body really understands unless they've done it. not saying u should. just dont judge something ur not familiar with. and no its not normal because obviously self harming isnt normal. and yes there are excuses. look it up.  do research. people have diff reasons. no i dont concider people who cut outsiders because the most random people you would never guess, do cut. hope tht helps ur understanding  =] bluskypeChris Posted at 6:21 am on Oct. 15, 2008 no cause their stupid and there are ton of stupid people in this word so therefore it is consider "normal" almost as stupid as my crappy grammar.   All 9 previous replies displayed.
