Keep reminding yourself that it is doing nothing except leaving scars to remind you of the pain you used to feel.  

Take up a new hobby or try to learn another language.

Answer 7

I know this is not a popular answer, but, there is nothing wrong with you.  You are doing what makes YOU feel best.  Not your family, not your friends, YOU.  You need to try your best to work out what is hurting in yourself, but the cutting and burning are not the big problem.  So work on other stuff and worry less about the ways in which you manage your problems.

Answer 8

1. You cannot give yourself the option for self harm

You have to pretend like you cannot do it no matter what. Really self harm only helps you solve the problem temporary because you have calmed yourself down, instead go exercise or m********e let the feelings exit you naturally and then look at the situation from a different perspective. Think through the problem, then work through it. Also don't be afraid or scared of having emotions sometimes it is good just to let yourself sit in them, soak in your pain, let yourself feel it instead of avoiding it.

You know when someone you think is beautiful says that they are ugly? People see themselves in a worse light, just know that no matter what you do, you do NOT deserve the pain you inflict on yourself, no one does.

What if a best friend was doing this? What if you mother or father or someone you really cared about was doing this? What would you say to them? Then say that to yourself.

Also know that you are not alone. You can go to Teenhelp.org and chat with other teens that self injure.

Just know this, it takes a lot of of strength to hurt yourself, focus that strength on not hurting yourself.

You can do it, you just have to believe you can.

If you need any more help let me know! ^^

Answer 16

I am so sorry. I think I know why. Are there any disturbances in your household? Tell your mom or dad about it and it could be fixed. I guess that people use pain for something they can look at and set their sights on. I use my dog to hurt me. I don't know why either. I guess I have a good life; nothing I hate. I attack her so she could attack me back and scratch me.Try your best to keep away from things that hurt you. I lock my dog out for a few hours and I get over it for a day.
