    There's more than just bullying that can drive someone to cut themselves.

    No idea what 'people like you' means. My daughter did out of a low sense of self-esteem. Once that was corrected, the urge disappeared.

    Don't they do that to try to concentrate on the physical pain instead of the emotional pain in their lives ... which can be much more devastating in many cases.

    see what happened was....

    honestly, some people just like the pain. My bestie loves cutting. She just likes pain. They sent her to a therapist and everything. Said nothing was wrong with her. My bestie also enjoys getting tattoos for that reason. I like pain but don't cut. I've thought about it. I honestly enjoy pain. i got my tongue pierce....felt soo good. While it was healing i kept applying pressure. I didn't realize i liked pain until i got my braces a few years back in HS. Nothings wrong with me. Went to a good private catholic school. Have a loving family. Never been bullied or cyber bullied. For anyone that has a problem with that fuck em up. I believe this generation today are a bit wimpier. You kill urself bcuz of a cyberbully? wtf if you can't say it to a person's face then it certainly has no value. Then ppl wanna use guns to do their fight. Back in the day it was all about your fist. I don't start fights but I'll finish it.

    It's an outlet for you. Instead of dealing with your internal issues, you vent them outwardly.

    The people themselves were not sure of their demands.

    They are disturbed and need help.

    Different people, different reasons.

    you know, people like us dont necessarily cut just because of a low self esteem or because we're being bullied or even because we're 'disturbed'. it could be because of a broken heart or because of depression. like me. i've been cutting for a few months now. no one has called because they understand what im going through. i suffer from tourettes and what comes with tourettes is sometimes depression. im depressed not only just because of the depression itself, but also because i lost the one person i truely love. now you may not understand why we cut ourselves, but just know this. when we cut, its because we feel like theres no where else to go. maybe we're too shy to let it out. or maube it's because we don't trust anyone to know. whatever the case may be, don't screw with us. we're going through enough as it is. what would you feel like if the one person closest to you died right now? you would be devistated. thats exactly what we feel like. we just take our pain and frustration out in a different way.

    What if you do and end up in another life repeating cutting yourself time after time. Nothing can one do to stop you from this. You just have to deal with your decision whatever it may be.

    You didn't give us enough choices but anyways do not cut yourself you are a person. Make the best out of yourself and think rationally. Ignore the bullies but if they continue tell them to stop. If they do not stop tell the officials in your school, workplace, or the police. If it continues file a report in those institutions, and if it continues yet file a restraining order, press charges, file another report, and do whatever you have to do with the police. Do not return insult though you can in the initial steps of what I said joke with them and laugh it off, but if it gets out of hand tell them to stop and continue with the next steps I talked about. You are a great person there is nothing wrong with you and everything wrong with the bullies. This is nonsense and they should be dealt with harshly and stopped. Do not worry you are great. Message me anytime if you want to talk or whatever, and I support you and wish you all the best.
