Cutting
Cutting can be hard for an outsider to understand. However, for those who do it, it is a release of all of the pain that they have inside. An estimated 2 to 3 million Americans are cutters. This can be triggered by feelings of loss or a need for self control. It can also be triggered by stress and usually starts in children ages 10-16.
Contrary to popular belief those who cut are not suicidal.
Cutting indicates that somewhere during development the person didn't learn proper ways cope.
