Usually when someone cuts the main thing we try and tell them is to find something to occupy that time instead. That might help temporarily but that urge to cut is still there. The only way to truly stop cutting and minimize the urges is to find out what exactly is triggering it, some of you might say life at home or school but there is a deeper reason why you feel you need to cut and no one knows but you.
Once you find out the reason behind it you need to go about getting rid of the problem. If its that you feel unwanted or ignored by your parents than you need to confront them and tell them how you feel. If you feel like your lonely and don't have any friends than you need to go out and find people with similar interests. Whatever the reason is face the problem head on before you seriously hurt yourself. After you face the problem find yourself a close friend that you can talk to and tell them everything and then find some more friends you can go to, in other words build yourself a support team that you can tell your problems to so you can have people to help you.
The most important part of the recovery process is to get rid of every single item in your room that you use to cut because those are the main part of the urge to cut.
If you don't stop cutting then first you'll be put in the psych ward of the hospital, which is a truly depressing place. Then you'll be put in a psychiatric hospital, after that most likely you'll end up in a coffin because by then you'll have cut to deep.
If you're scared that you'll still have the urges to cut even after these then always try and call a hotline, all of your calls will be confidential and it'll be 1 on 1 1-800-DONT-CUT right this number down somewhere and keep it with you at all times.
