unfortuanlty ppl do just cut to'fit in' wich doesnt help those who cut because its their way of coping. its not crazy, at all. and ur not crazy if you cut. but if ur cutting just 2 fit in or coz ur mates doing it its not right. becaoz ppl cut for genuine reasosn theyr hurting. sum ppl tell ppl theyve doen it others hide it.
just think about why ur doing it nj if u dnt have a reason then stop coz its not good

eeyore, I don't think Megster cuts because her friend does... right? Anyway, cutting to 'fit in' is STUPID and your friend and anyone else who does it for that reason needs more help then we do!! On that note, why is cutting so stigmatized? How is it so different then any other addiction? They all destroy you to! And many can be seen by others, ie. Meth... sorry-that was offtopic!

sadly enough ppl do cut to fit in. but, soon, just as jondy09 said, it will become adictive. then, the ppl who do it just to fit in, wont do it to fit in anymore because now they're addicted and they wouldnt be able to stop. that's actually how alot of ppl start cutting. but, if i have any advice, DONT CUT JUST TO FIT IN!!!! please.

I don't think it's cool to them as much as it's attention seeking and makes them seem tortured and deep. That ultimately discredits the people who have serious issues. It's sad and immature and terribly misguided.

maybe she is actually hiding something and doesnt want everyone to know how she feels. i dunno, unfortunately people do cut for the same reasons as your friend . when i was at school and was cutting pretty badly at that point, i found out a few of my friends decided to do it for no reason at all. i gave them no attention and didnt let any of them talk to me about it and it worked!

maybe your friend just wants attention...and cutting gets people to pay attention. its sick kinda, but its still a cry for help. maybe there is a problem your friend is having and this is her way to try and reach out and get people to notice..even if the root of her problem isnt really cutting.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
