Answer 1

If you like it why stop? It's your body do with it what you want, just always think of what consequence you'll have to deal with in the future.

Answer 2

i know handling stress is tough but dont cut yourself. its not good. you could cut a major vein and you could bleed to death. if your really having stress, try getting a new hobby. try getting a rubber band and snapping it on your wrist. its better then cutting  yourself. but please, dont cut.

Answer 3

You might end up with a really bad infection and land in the hospital. my neice is in the hospital right now with toxic shock from some infection and her organs may shut down. they are trying to find out why. scary enough? also some day you may have a child who might do this. that's scary.

Answer 4

you should cut deeper, so we dont have idiots like you on this planet. stop being a dip ****, there are so many people out there that need organs and transplants, and are disabled. you can walk and are healthy. congrats for spitting on the less fortunate and being an all around jack ***. not to mention you wasted yahoo answers points to show off your stupidity...

stock up on some long sleeve shirts, i think theyre on sale at the gap.

Answer 5

If it relieves you from your stress, continue on. But be warned that if you cut too deep, it can end in blood loss, which can be very unhealthy. In my oppinion, cutting would be better then using some drug to relieve your stress. Just be warned, and don't cut too deep.  

Answer 6

why should you stop?

Answer 7

You should stop cutting cause there is a risk of dying!, yes thats a shocker. How about listening to some heavy metal music, it relives my stress if i listen to slayer or judas priest :)

Answer 8

your brain starts confusing pleasure with pain. and you get effed up. then when you and your boyfriend are having s*x and it isn't pleasurable because he can't give it too you rough enough... your fault for cutting. no big deal though. whatever. i have a bunch of friends that do it. i guess if you want that you can just keep ruining your body =]

Answer 9

Because it's stupid - and if you didn't really care than you wouldn't do it. Cutting shows that you think so little of yourself that you would destroy parts of your body to relieve stress. I think you like the attention. . .having people think that you are some kind of tortured soul with a death wish. Grow up! Nobody knows for sure what happens when you die  - there could be a heaven or h**l, there could be reincarnation, there could be nothing, no one knows. All you know for sure is that you have this life, this one life. Don't waste it being ignorant and self destructive - care enough about yourself to do some constructive things with your time, instead of hacking away and making yourself look like a freak.

When I read this back it looked a little harsh too me.  I didn't change it though, because I responded to you as I would a friend, and I meant every word.  There are other things you can do relieve stress, so don't act like cutting is the only option for you - it just sounds so ignorant.  

I wish you the best of luck, and I hope things get better for you.   : )

life insurance

Answer 11

you could die

and life is a precious thing that you only get once and you shouldn't waste it.

why not try knitting? or boxing maybe?

boxing really helps relieve stress.

Answer 12

"i havent found out a good reason to stop ...give me one please."

There's a reason in itself, you want to.



I dont get why people cut in the first place, so I cant tell you a reason to stop.I havent been there, so i dont fully understand what your going through.

however, "but i dont really care/i like it"

If you really don't care, why would u ask for a reason to stop?

There IS a reason, even if you dont know what it is yet. I cant tell you what that that reason is, only you can do that.

good luck

Answer 13

Because some well meaning friend may call the cops on you, and that's embarrassing as h**l.  They'll make you go to this facility with all these other disturbed people so they can counsel you, and those places suck.  

Answer 14

I stopped cutting because my friends were worried about me and I didn't want to burden them. I still often want to but I've found that punching walls, pinching yourself, etc works. Or try detroying something. Tearing up paper is fun!!  

Answer 15

Well since your brain compacity is obviously the size of a peanut, I won't bother to try to change what you think- the results could be damaging! Keep on 'slicin!

Answer 16

stop now its so not worth it.. u kno running helps it 34989238423809 more then cutting and u look good :]

Answer 17

Hey, whatever makes you happy..

But if you nick an important vein and die, or cause an infection, well then that'll royally suck, eh?

Answer 18

Keep it up!

Answer 19

Remember, it's down the road, not across the street.
