What's on your mug?

Hurting yourself in any way at all. Remarkably similar to eating disorders and substance abuse. Can be a cry for attention, a type of self-punishment or just a way of letting out frustration and depression. No matter what the form or reason, this is a disease and a serious, widespread problem. It is also extremely addictive and leads to downwards spirals of reclusive behavior, guilt and high-risk living.

Self-mutilation can be cutting, head-slamming, wrist banging, scratching, picking, burning, bruising- anything painful.

Self-mutilation is when someone hurts themselves to release some form of pain. Usually cutting, pulling hair, burning, banging etc. Making fun of them is not going to help. Just because you have different ways of coping doesn't mean you should make fun of people that already have problems hating themselves etc. Self-mutilators need help they don't need people picking on them.

Self-mutilation is dangerous. If someone you know is self-mutilating get some kind of help.

The only pain in which someone can control, bull, it is a way of self-pity, you feel sorry for yourself so you cut yourself.

Guy 1: What's on your arm? Guy 2: Happy scars! Guy 1: Are you cuting yourself again? Guy 2: Yeah! Guy 1: But why? your not having hard times or anything, your life is perfect. Guy 2: I just want to fit in and someone told me if I cut myself I'd be cool. Guy 1: OMG, stop, I have trouble in my life, that's why i cut myself. Guy 2: OMG, you need to stop. Guy 1: AHHHH!
