cutter

a person who mutilates their skin by using any type of sharp object. they do this because they are having problems in their life that they don't have any control over. cutting takes place in all social groups: emo, prep, jock, skater, goth. whatever. sterotyping cutting into the emo and goth group is wrong. most people who cut (girls AND boys) are suffering from depression and/or bipolar disorders. cutters who are ashamed hide their mutilations by wearing long sleeves, jeans, etc. making fun of cutters is not cool (hence, bad examle below), and making fun of them makes them want to cut even more. and this cycle continues. cutting does releive the pain, but it is not healthy to continue, of course. a person who does cut should see a professional to help stop the additction.
