well, this is a good start. you asked a normal question, instead of those freaky ones...develop confidence in yourself and you won't need your friends around....just relax and enjoy yourself..\nremember that in social settings, no one is really thinking about anyone but THEMSELVES....so think about you and enjoy yourself.

talk to a close friend....thats what i did. and it turned out that she had almost started cutting so i kept her from starting and she helped me quit. it was so easy....but i didn't do it for very long. now when i feel stressed or depressed. i blast my music and clean or exercise instead of cut. and if that doesn't work...i have my friend on speed dial.

I'm not a cutter but I think the best thing for you, is to maybe try talking to someone about this. You say you do that to feel normal, but just because a lot of people do that, doesn't mean it's normal. If you don't want to talk to anyone about that, try just stopping cold turkey. Throw away all your razors, don't resort to any other means of self harm. Find a hobby and be constructive!

Yes, just cut it out and don't do it again.  Will power still works wonders.

well i have heard that it isn't but it can be very satisfying.  But it IS your BACK so please be careful!  Try to cut down and then avoid it as much as u can.

you need to get help. you can't stop if you don't want to stop. cutting is very unhealthy. seriously, the only way you can stop is to want to and to get help so you don't have to do it on your own. there are support groups.

Difficult to do without getting cut. If someone is coming at you with a knife, you should probably get use to the idea real quickly than you're going to get cut somewhere. Take a coat or other heavy garment and wrap it around the hand and arm you don't use as much ( eg: I'm right-handed, so I would warp it around my left hand and arm ). \n\nCrouch slightly so you make less of a target and so both arms are out in front of you, elbows bent. Watch your opponent's eyes, not the kinife. Perhiperal vision will tell you if he's making a stab or slice at you. \n\nReach out with the wrapped arm and take a blow from the knife on it, simultaneously turning your other side in towards him. As you do this, bring your non-wrapped arm up over the knife arm, wrapping your arm around his. Use both arms and both hands to gain control of his knife arm, using your non-wrapped arm to hold his arm in place as you apply downward pressure ( as much as you can manage ... use your weight on it ) so that the arm breaks or dislocates. \n\nHe will almost always drop the knife. Make certain he is incapable of picking the knife back up again before you release him. Then release him, pick up the knife and tell him to be still and STFU!  :D\n\nNOTE: trying to disarm a knife-wielding opponent is dangerous in the extreme. Try EVERYTHING you can to placate your opponent before trying to disarm him.

Probably, but be careful not to be too rough. Technique isn't everything, but it is something, you know?

you don't want add cuts to your body \nyou want your body to be cut\n\nlower your fat (running, swimming, biking, etc)\nlots of reps (do the exercise lots of times) with weights (keep the weight at a level that is challenging but not so heavy that you can not do at least 15)
