scars….

Posted by Yesha - 14/05/08 at 10:05:38 pm

hello…o genki desu ka ??? gosh!!! I don’t have net connections the past days,i am missing so much…I was so bored ,i had to spend some bucks for shopping..I’m having a headache too since yesterday..

Have you ever cut yourself? What is your opinion on slicing your own skin? More and more teenagers are resorting to cutting themselves…would you ever? I have some information on cutting…

What is cutting?

Injuring yourself on purpose by making scratches or cuts on your body with a sharp object — enough to break the skin and make it bleed — is called cutting. Cutting is a type of self-injury. People may cut themselves on their wrists, arms, legs, or bellies.

Why?

Cutting is a way for people to cope with the pain of strong emotions or upsetting problems. I knew this girl who cut herself and people said she seeked attention; it was her way of crying for help. People are judged badly for inflicting injury upon themselves but its a way to release this intense emotional tension and sometimes it makes you feel like you’re in control.

The urge to cut might be triggered by strong feelings a person cannot express; they often say no one understands them or they don’t fit in. Some people who cut have had a traumatic experience or reinflicting the pain they went through.

What happens to the person

Cutting can become a habit and it is dangerous. The more a person cuts, the deeper the wounds become and the more a person will feel the urge to cut themself. A lot of times the scars are permanent. The wounds can become infected and there is a possibility that you may accidentally hit an artery and possibly bleed to death. Also it does have a painful effect on the people you love such as friends and family.

cool???

For some reason cutting has become “cool”. People show off their scars and proudly cut themselves in front of you.
If someone tells you should cut yourself; walk away. Never let someone influence you into cutting yourself. As I said before it is very dangerous. If someone wants you to cut they’re no good. That person needs a lot of help.

Help?

Tell someone Talk to family, a friend, a teacher or somebody you trust. You will feel better when let it out.

Get to the problem Discover what makes you feel the urge to cut. Getting to the root of the problem is a great step in helping yourself. Try to avoid situations which make you want to cut yourself.

Calm yourself There are healthy ways in which you can express your emotions. Write, paint, scream or go for a walk. Remove all sharp objects from your room (knives, broken glass, razors, anything pointed and sharp). If you still feel the urge, lie down on your bed and close your eyes and relax. Stay this way until the urge goes away. Also cry! Don’t let it build up inside. Go somewhere quiet where no one can disturb you and cry. Its not embarrassing; no one is going to see you. Get help.

Hope you found some of this information useful. Next time you see or hear something about someone cutting themselves, don’t make a face and judge the person. They are going through something that we may not always understand. Be sensitive towards their feelings and try to help them help themselves.
This topic was inspired by a very close friend of mines. You never know if your best friend could be hurting herself.

Jyaaaaaaa…will now return comments and blog hop…
hope you visit me again….
I miss you all

xoxo,

Yesha

nice topic. i haven’t done cutting myself. && i will never do anything like that. it is better to cry your heart out!!!! hahah )

but really, those who people who cut themselves, if they want to die why not directly point the knife or blade to your heart, its faster and more effective.

but anyway, i cant judge them and i cant tell them what to do.

have a nice day. && i hope your net connections are fine now.

i’ve already thought about that topic several times since i feel like i always have the weight of the world on my shoulders. i’ve also tried cutting at some moments but they are very minor. people who do these things are not all that bad as you think they are and they may be. i’m a living proof of that statement.

i’m hoping that you’re internet connection will get better sooner or later.

that’s a nice post Ate Yesh…It has good lessons for all the people cutting themeselves especially those people called “EMO” means EMOtional.
I don’t like to cut myself when I have some hard problems, for me, it’s good to cry louder like what you said and I’ll just cry loud inside my room than cutting myself that to have some scars. Hehe!

Aw, Naalala ko tuloy yung classmate ko nung elementary. She would cut her arms with those ripped coke-in-cans tapos ipapakita niya sa min to prove na mahal niya yung boyfriend niya. So uhh. Konek? :lol:

Hindi cool yon. Hahaha. Oh well, kung ako yun. I would never cut myself. Hindi ako EMOtional. Hihi.:grin:

OMG dont do that.. because it will slowly kill you.. kung may isang suicidal, mas mabuting barilin nya na lang ulo nya, kesa naman yung unti unti nyang nararamdaman ang katapusan nya. Pero dont be a suicidal. coz there is a saying in psychology “ONCE A SUICIDAL, ALWAYS SUICIDAL.”

I don’t know either what’s the point of cutting oneself. Would it help solve one’s problem? It probably would make it worse. One would worry about his problem and here comes the cut. tsk
