It's when you run out of resources to cope with usually some sort of emotional pain and you begin to cut oneself. This emotional pain may come on from any form of abuse, trauma, depression, or many of other unknown reasons. The cutting can be done just about anywhere on the body, but is usually on the wrists. Cutting is done with some sort of sharp object (i.e. knives, blades, razors, etc.)and is not usually broadcasted. Cutters usually don't cut in the atempt of suicide, they are usually cutting to get rid of some other sort of pain by the adrenaline endorphins that come when cutting. Cutters are usually ashamed of this and will not "show it off." Cutting can become addicting. This is because it is a quick way out of whatever may be causing the cutter pain. If it is depression, which is a disease, it may become harmful in the long run, but it just can't be turned off so easy.
