i agree i strongly advise people who having yet started and plan on cutting please DONT and to those you have only started please stop now because it is the worst thing you can get yourself involved in. It becomes like an addiction and you can not get away from it and if you do it can be the hardest struggle ever. it becomes a way of life and the only way of coping with your problems and emotions. 2 years on and i am struggling to stay away from cutting. You live everyday looking at your scares and fresh cuts feeling ashamed and having to hide them from the people you love.
