MY ISSUE AND A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF IT:
For my you and the world project my issue is cutting. I am interested in it because i have been down that path before and it is not a pretty sight. i would never cut to leave a scar but just have myself relief pain and i actually was in a mental hospital for hours until i got tired of waiting, talked to someone quickly and then left. Not a pretty sight. Even though i have been down that path I am also interested in it because this topic is very interesting and a lot of my friends started it in middle school as well.
Cutting is a kind of self harm. A lot of teenagers start it because they have been bullied, harassed or have a deep and hurtful time going on right now. Once they start cutting as a teenager most of the time it leads into adult hood and people use it a lot to cope with pain. It is an compulsive behavior which means once you start cutting is going to always be there.
WHY AM I INTERESTED IN IT AND MY EXPERIENCE:

Not a pretty sight. Even though i have been down that path I am also interested in it because this topic is very interesting and a lot of my friends started it in middle school as well. I feel very passionate about this issue since i used to cut myself and even tried to commit suicide. My friends helped me through my problems though. Honestly, without my friends i could be dead right now.
The most common stereotype of people who cut themselves is EMO. Emo means emotionally unstable so yes they may tend to cut themselves but not all emo people do.
These pictures are of Emo/Goth people who are the main sterotype of people who cut themselves. The girl on the left has snakebites.
WARNING SIGNS:
The pictures above show what people are feeling and that they need help.
Details that i found about the topic:
_ teens learn to cope in many ways. some of them being tears, anger, depression are some of the ways of ringing relief from overwhelming feelings.
These pictures show people cutting themselves.
These pictures are of quotes that people feel which is the reason why they are cutting
WHAT CAN YOU DO??
TREATMENT FOR SELF-HARM:
WHAT ARE YOU WONDERING ABOUT??
I wonder what are common reactions of people normally and why they automatically send you to a therapist if you are cutting. Also want to know why they think if you cut you are an emo.
WHAT DO YOU QUESTION?
Why do teenager not talk bout their problems with someone?
WHAT DO YOU HOPE TO LEARN AS THE TOPIC GOES ON?
I hope to learn a better understanding as to why do not talk to people if they are self-harming themselves.
EXTRA INFO:
from experience the music people that cut themselves listen to are traditionally sad, depressing songs that tells their life, songs that they can relate to and songs that are hardcore and metal such as my chemical romance.
quotes. (n.d.). Retrieved from http://members.tripod.com/mi_ruka0/id18.html:
I know what its like to want to die; how it hurts to smile; how you try to fit in but you can't; how you hurt yourself on the outside; to try to kill the thing that's in the inside.
You look at me and think, 'she's so happy' but there's so much behind this little smile that you will never know.
People are always telling me to smile, like smiling is going to just take away all the hurt and pain. Well I've tried that I've tried hiding my sorrows and covering the sadness in smiles and what I've learned is that when it hurts this much inside your heart always has a way of showing it no matter how many masks you wear.
This picture shows that you must stay strong through this.
This picture is showing that you should love yourself
