I've been bullied and even accused of stealing CCs. You don't see me with 100+ scars. I can control such emotions.

Personally I think that people that self-harm need to get their shit together. It really irritates me. Their life is probably not that bad. Get it together. I've never self-harmed, by the way. Just my opinion.

You probably have a good home, not bullied everyday like some, suffer from depression.. ect ect

I'm picked on quite a bit at school and I've had it rough. It's more of being completely stubborn like I am then being treated well. I couldn't care less what anyone says about me.

we are all different mate some of us are more sensible.

well lucky you. I, like so many others here, have a really hard time regulating my emotions. Dont get me wrong, im one really tough chick, but my emotions can cause me to do stupid things other "normal" people wouldnt ever think of doing

I guess it's different from person to person. I have other feeling, which is extra boostet. Like, if I see adults cry, I'm getting extremely sad.

Selfharm is not only cutting. Lots of people harm themselves by drinking too much alcohol, taking drugs, eating too much or too less, doing dangerous stuff on purpose, being nasty to others with the intend of being punished afterwards (particularly uncared-for children do that), ...

These people won't always say they harm themselves, though, but very often it is unconsiously the real purpose of these actions. Sometimes the selfharming is also just a side effect, but people don't care. Why do they not care? Because they are desperate, they don't like themselves. Otherwise they would care for their own health.

So my opinion is: Cutting is just one symptom of possible thousand others that people do in order to harm themselves. It is just a symptom, so making someone to not cutting him/herself without looking at the cause, will just change the symptom (sometimes you can change the symptom to a less harming one, though, which would be desireable). There is something that needs to be done and people have to deal with it in one way or the other. So only looking at the cause and working on the cause will eventually remove the symptoms.

About the symptom change for cutting (only an intermediate solution!): If you are doing it, because you feel numb, you can try to get some of these really sour tasting bubble gums to stimulate the senses. Or something similar.
Some people use icepacks to feel the cold instead of cutting, but I had bad experiences with it (blisters--not sure if they are called like this--because not feeling that it was too cold)
It is a bit like giving up smoking cigarettes. Try to find something that serves the same purpose, but is less damaging.
But do not forget to work on the cause. If you don't know the cause, you have to work on finding it. And never think that you can not get better or feel good again. Firstly it isn't true and secondly you only loose if you give up.
