Self-Mutilation is an addictive and dangerous habit. It is when a person feels nothing or a confusing feeling and they dont know how to express it. They let it out through cutting,burning,hitting or slapping self (ect.) I have had my own troubles with the habit. It got tot the point that I nearly had to hsve stitches a number of times. I have over 300 scars from self-mutilation. But I got help. It took awhile to realize it but one day my baby brother walked in on me and started crying. He said "Sissy please dont hurt yourself no more". Many things came after that but that was what started the move. If you or a friend are using self-mutilation as an escape, please find help. Go to a school counselor or a professional. If I made it so can you!!
