Before reading this, let me make it clear that I do NOT encourage cutting or any self-inflicted violence or violence at all, And I do not practice any form of self-inflicted violence especially cutting.
There is a reason you never hear someone say, "I wish I could go back to my teen years." and if you have heard someone say it, trust me they don't mean it.And its not that everyone's teenage years suck, some I'm sure escaped unscathed but teen to me lately means oppression and pressure.
I'm not naming ANY names over here, so don't hold your breath but I do know a few stories where people have cut themselves because in their own word, they feel "worthless". Worthless according to whom, might I ask? A few plastic-y, popular girls who might not adore you? A friend who has moved on?A heartbreak?
For the former I say, the popular girls either don't know you or don't like you so screw them and celebrate because you won't be in their clutches anytime soon, that is a horrible excuse to hurt yourself.And if a friend moves on, of course you will miss them, they were your buddies and it might hurt like hell but everything happens for a reason so, move on too. Love them for they were by your side but don't hate them for they probably had to do right by them too.Heartbreak? If any can make you believe that you are worthless then , honey you need to build up your self-esteem because what doesn't kill you makes you stronger!
But no matter how much one preaches, people, especially girls, often cut themselves and sooner or later it becomes an addiction for them, the slightest thing can set them off. They're just girls, they just wanted to be looked in the eye and be told that they are appreciated. But how often does that happen in High School?
Medically, if you cut yourself too deep, then the chance of infection becomes higher. You could die if you lost too much blood! I wouldn't know exactly what triggers cutting but I have read enough to understand that it is just plain wrong and if anyone tries to popularize it, please! That is plain pathetic and dangerous.
You know, those who cut may think that they are beaten up old pick-up trucks and a few scratches couldn't harm them much but in all honesty, they are brand-new Maseratis and even a few scratches can take away that shine.......
