A quick message to cutters, since I saw one out in the wild while running errands. This especially applies to females, and I'm assuming that it's the subcultural version of it, not the mental illness variety (at which point the cutter would be institutionalized anyway).

One day, assuming you continue on living (you most likely will), you will look back on this "cry for help" with embarrassment. You see, no one looks at a 46 year old woman with self-harm scars and thinks "oh she's so alt" or "wow that's actually kinda cute what a goth" or "I want to help her." Nope, that's just not going to happen.
Instead, they will likely just avoid you - even your former peers who were part of your "alternative" social circle.

The thing about the emo crowd is that they all grew up and got jobs. Dudes grew up unable to pull off the sensitive-emo-boy look, so they eventually just gave in and started dressing normal. The women who were part of that are now desperately trying to hide the scars that they used to show off.

"I cut because the external pain makes the internal pain feel better." No, you don't. You know darn well that there are tons of resources and communities and churches out there that would love to help you out - and whatever bad example you have in your mind that somehow cancels out what I'm saying doesn't count. You know that. Quit it.
