Answer 1

www.jesus-is-savior.com. It doesn't anything specific about cutting but read the website for spiritual and secular issues. I hope this helps you.

Answer 2

it's hard and it's called Self-injury,not slashing and it is a medical problem.Try to take it a step at a time.I'm not emo and never was and I have cut myself.I have had 2 relapses so far and everytime I do injure it's less shallow everytime and it's getting better than it was.Don't try to quit all together right away or you most likely will give up trying to stop and realize that there's a possibility that you could fall back into it but it is very possible to get better.talk to someone for help,go to a therapist,find other ways of coping.cutting because of a "clique" you're in is a dumb reason to cut just to feel like you're one of them when there's people that cut to really relieve emotional pain,anger or the feeling of being numb or dead,so if you are in that group please try to stop

Answer 3

Answer 4

I understand from personal experience how addicting it can be to slash/cut.

It makes you feel so powerful, and it's a way to vent when you're upset.

It might even catch someone's eye and make them believe that you're "hardcore" or a real tough person.

The truth is, cutting is the weakest thing a person could ever do.

It's so... foolish and dangerous.

It may seem cool and empowering while you're slashing, but afterwards, that little voice in the back of your head tells you that this feels so wrong.

I found help by just thinking about it.

I thought about it and kept an extremely open mind.

I made a list of the pros and cons of slashing, without leaving anything out that my illness tried to force me to leave out.

I realized that there were WAY more cons than pros, and the pros weren't even real.  The "good" things that came out of it were only good to the bad part of my mind.  I realized that suicide is only a way to ALLOW the world to GET and KEEP me down.  I realized that instead of being depressed all the time, I should try my best to show them that they're wrong by making my life better and trying to be successful.

I'm genuinely sorry and empathetic.

I hope that my response helps, and I hope you find the help to stop slashing.

Things will get better, but you have to first find it in you to allow them to get better.

Good luck.  :]

You need to get therapy.  Ask ur parents to make you an appt with a psychologist...  This is a compulsion, and you can't stop by yourself. It will only get worse... Good luck sweety!
