Your Definition

Cutting has been described to me by my therapist as a natural drug in that it released endorphins to the brain [immediately] following the cutting. However, in the long run, cutting can lead to more severe depression and also can cause permanent physical damage.  Cutting sometimes is accompanied by [head banging], burning, or other self-destructive behaviors.
      Despite some of the close minded [definitions], cutting is not done only by emo kids. Although some emo kids do cut, most of the [characteristics] of cutters are the same as those with eating disorders. Cutters tend to be perfectionists, and often are white, middle class teenage girls, although not all cutters come from this background. 
      Cutting often is a result of depression, and some view it as a way to release emotional pain when it feels like you would explode otherwise.  Although many people think that those with depression have experienced huge tramas in their lives, this is not necessarily the case.  Depression is a disease, just like diabetes is a disease.  It can strike anyone, regardless of their gender, class, or [social status].  I personally am attending an ivyleague college next year, was captain of my soccer team in high school, could be considered among the [popular kids] at my school, and have an extremely loving family. I still have the scars from my cutting, which I stopped doing 2 months ago.  Although i was lucky enough to be able to stop, other people such as my older sister, became addicted.  Cutting is not something to mess around with.  However ,it is naive to dismiss cutting as simply a way to get attention.  It is also naive to scorn those who seem to have perfect lives as being stupid for cutting.  People do not choose to be depressed.
