Hey if anyone could help me out.... that would be nice!

[not_a_bad_girl]

I'm taking a speech class and my next speech I am doing on cutting. I've been a cutter for 5 years and I have heard a couple of speeches on cutting but they haven't been from people who have been there. Plus most of the time they go off of what the docs say. I want my speech to be from the cutters point of view. This is where you all can help me out. I just have a few short questions. If you want to tell me your name and where your from that would be great... I will use the information in my speech. If you want to answer the questions but want to remain anonymous (sp?) thats fine too. Just let me know.



Thanks in advance!!! Here are the questions:

1) What is self-harm (in your own opinion)?

2) What ways do you self-harm?

3) When and why did you first start?

4) What works to keep you from doing it? (this is for people who are either trying quit or have quit)

5) How old are you now?

6) How can people help?

Thanks for helping me out... sorry it was more than a few questions.
