Hey fellow forum members,
I'm a high school sophomore writing for my local newspaper, and my upcoming article focuses on cutting/self-harm. Because it can be pretty awkward to just go up to random kids at school and ask "Hey, have you ever cut yourself?", I figured right here--the internet--would be a great place to listen to the stories of real-life cutters. It would be great if you'd share why you started cutting; and if you've stopped, how you stopped. How does cutting make you feel? Have you told anyone? How did they react? I'd be happy to accept anything you want to tell me. I'm certain you all know a lot more on this subject than I.
Yes, these stories WILL be reprinted in my town's newspaper, so if you wish to preserve anonymity or withhold any details, please tell me so. Thank you all so much for sharing your stories.
