Anyone can be a cutter, from any walk of life, it's not an emo "thing" or a depression "thing" There are many reasons a person may cut them selves, and cutting is just 1 form of self injury Here are other forms that they may use breaking bones burning the skin cutting the skin embedding objects under the skin infecting oneself inserting objects in body openings intentional bruising picking scabs or interfering with wound healing pulling hair punching self or objects scratching skinMainly, people cut themselves as a coping mechanism to events and situations in life. In this way, cutting is much like alcohol or drug abuse – it is a means to “turn off” reality and plug into another way of thinking and feeling to either avoid or cope with life. Cutting and other types of self injury can release endorphins and people get addicted to that "high" Reasons they cut may be: Boredom Stress Coping mechanism Emotional Pain Fear Excitement Peer Pressure Low self esteem Feeling empty Relief Suppressed Feelings Other medical conditions There is a very fine line between pain and pleasure, drug.addictionblog.org/why-do-people-cut... org/why-do-people-cut-themselves.

Well, I've cut myself once or twice, but my preferred method of self-mutilation was burning myself. I used to burn myself (lighters, aim-n-flame bbq starters, etc...) when I was in high school and would often give myself second to third degree burns. I wasn't emo and I don't think I was depressed, but I am about 99% sure I have borderline personality disorder (waiting on official diagnosis).

I know that self-mutilation is a common part of borderline personality disorder so that may have been the cause, but I can tell you from my point of view that the reason why I did it was because it gave me a bit of a rush and would send a tingle down my spine, but I believe my true reasoning was because I was calling out for help and didn't know how to ask it. I believe sub-consciously I felt that people would notice something was wrong with me and find me the help that I didn't know how to find or ask for myself.

It's my understanding they do it so they can feel "something"...

Normally this is a phase that says I need help some due this because of emotional ties and this could or may cause this kinda reaction to happen and it may cause emotional challenges that can cause this kinda behavior also this may be a person doesn't know what their doing and need guidance because they can't fix it themselves so they rely on someone else to help them get through it with medications and therapy.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
