I've seen countless kids on here and on other sites and have even seen it in person, a person (usually a teenager) hears of cutting and then decides to do it themselves, what kind of appeal does hurting yourself have? Even if you are in emotional distress.

I don't think I understand because it happened differently for me, it basically just happened, for years I didn't know what I was doing or why, well I got the jist of it but I never knew there was a term of even an explanation of why people do it, the whole endorphin thing.

My sister isn't too good at keeping secrets and when she found out mine so did everyone else, I had two people copy what they had heard I did, they didn't try to hide it, one even did it right in front of me, pathetic little scratches that they got attention from and loved it, for them to take such a thing and use it for their own gain was hurtful.

I remember the first time I self harmed, I didn't chose it, it was complete despair and no control over picking up that razor, I curse that day and ask you who do chose it, why?
