Okay, I may have threats on my life for saying this, but hey--it's my opinion.

I think that cutting is really stupid. That's the bottom line. The only reason people do it is because they're crying out for attention and help. It's a simple as this--if you've got problems, get help. And think about it, if you REALLY wanted to kill yourself, why would you slit your wrists when you could just cut your jugular.

The biggest thing that annoys me about kids cutting themselves today is that people take it as a fad. Today, emo has become a lot more mainstream and a lot more people have started cutting themselves because they think that it's the cool thing to do. Because of the stupid emo bands, it's now cool to be sad and angsty. Seriously, if you xanga surf through the sites of emo kids, a lot of people take pictures of hte designs that they carve into their arms....and in their comments, people say things like "Oh that's so cool!"

So, pretty much, I think it's stupid...or at least the way people take it as a fad these days.
