Haii... I am Axelle... I have been a cutter since I was 11 years old... I am now nearly 18 years of age. I have been to a mental hospital twice within a 3 week period. I started cutting again recently after getting over it since March... I'm afraid of myself...

I am Leandrea, I am 18 and have been cutting for 7 years. There have been those times where I don't cut. Only a few people know about my cutting.

Im Makayla but every one calls me tess. Im 13. I started cutting last summer. I have brown hair and green eyes. I also hate the name emo, it sounds so evil and im not evil (ok maybe a little.lol). And I dont even look emo but if people knew I cut then they would still call me emo. I also don't think that being a cutter means you want attention. I don't know about you guys but thats they last thing I want. Im scared of how I'll be treated if people knew im a cutter.

Hi, I'm Brie. I am not a cutter but I have good reason to believe that my 14 yr. old has been for quite a while. She recently went to live with her DAd & his family with out any warning. I thought we had a decent relationship, now I'm not so sure. I am hoping that I can learn about why ppl cut & what if anything I can do to make a difference. Also when or if I should confront her with all I know & what I suspect. I'm not trying to judge or make anyone uncomfortable. If for any reason you don't want me here , please let me know. I don't want to cause any problem for anyone. Thank you. Love & Hugs, Brie

I am David, a little older then all you girls - okay, I have a daughter your age. I started cutting about eight years ago, haven't since about May of this year. I am so sad, you could be my daughters.

Hi, I'm Kris, I am 30 and SI. I have been si'ing for a very long time now.

Hi there, Aryan here, next 3 weeks i'll be 21th. Im not sure when i start cutting, half year ago i think. Nobody really know, especially my family, i hope they'll never know. I need to cut so badly lately, i dunno why i became like this and i start to hate myself. When the pain no longer helping i wish that i just die. But i think i'll survive it anyhow.

hello im Ashley, i started si'ing in 06' its not an everyday, all the time thing, just when i get enraged & cant display my emotions, im 7 weeks freee now, & hope to stay like that

I'm Abby. I'm 14, and I've only done what most people consider cutting twice. Otherwise? Far too many times to count. It started at age 9 3/4, pricking my finger, and that continued for a little over three years. A disastrous change in medicine is what caused the two times. I couldn't finger-prick because I had handed that over to my psychiatrist only two weeks before. It was tearing me apart. It took me almost two months to tell my parents, and I'd been clean for those two months after the second incident. It's been five months, and I'm still recent-cut free. Thank God! My sister was ready to kill me when she found out by accident.

Hi, I'm Zack and I've been cutting since the age of 10 or 11 and I'm 28 now. I stopped for several years and I guess I thought it was a phase that I was going through, but in 2007 I started cutting again after having a series of nervous breakdowns.

hey, im elizabeth. im 18 physically , though much older mentally and much younger emotionally. i have been cutting for 5 years. i got out of grouphomes when i became an "adult" only to find that i have no friends and that my family is a mental wreck. this and tha fact that im not stable enough to work means that i have to move almost every other month cause i cant afford to rent and my family cant support me. animals, books, and learning are my hobies. summer is my favorite season cause i tan beautifully and love to am a fish in the water.

hey I'm Tessa. I've been cutting for a year. I recently stopped last Sunday. I'm 14 and I can't keep my mind off it... my friend sent me this link and i'm hoping it'll help.

My name is Meagan & I am 25 yrs old. Ughh I have been cutting now for 10 years. Of course I have my ups & downs & sometimes I don't cut for months. Men try to pull the "I'll leave you if you don't stop" & I think they can screw themselves because they don't understand. I thought maybe the older I got I would stop. My parents thought it was just a hormone stage & hid all the razors...even my shaving razors. Then they found out I was still cutting when I tried to kill myself a couple of years back. I just never quit......& I don't know how to stop.
