What do you think of girls who cut themselves?

Personally, it's their choice, I can't force someone to stop, I liked them as a person before I knew they cut, why should I stop now. Physical pain is easier to handle than emotional pain in most cases so not only does it help that but it releases those natural endorphins and pain relievers in your brain, making them want to do it more. SUre Id be worried and try to talk to them but I'm not going to treat them like theyre crazy and send them to an asylum, you can't change a person that doesn't want to change.

I choose none of the above. I would find it unattractive, and I wouldn't do it. But I also wouldn't just leave them alone to deal with it, id try and help.

I would hide all my knives and I defiantly would not date, hell if she's cutting herself oh man she's already got issues, and no in way in hell that will be a good relationship. Can you imagine that. Hey honey we're having steak for dinner, oh wait, ya about that kind of had to throw away all the knives cause your crazy and all.

I'd help her get over whatever her reason is and get her serious help. It's not exactly a good sign

IF...you ever meet a guy who does not send you to a shrink but accepts your cutting, run as hard and as far as you can: then you got a real pervert on your body.
IF you meet someone like that.
I hope you won't!

I think they need help, and a caring person to talk to.

its bad... they need someone to talk to and someone to help them out... cutting is really one of thoes things that will haunt them for the rest of their lives like WTF was I thinking when I did that...
i have mutiple friends out of HS who did and they are thinking WTF why did they do that..

Everyone needs a form of escape. Some drink, others do drugs. Some abuse others and others abuse themselves. Cutting is only gross because of the blood and lacerations. Its the scars that tell the story.

she is going through a lot of stress and have mental issues that needs to be corrected ASAP. Requires serious help and therapy

I think they have mental issues which need sorting out if people cut themselves, get help I'd say

Your poll answers do not fit the question. 'Cutting' is indicative of a serious psychological problem that requires therapy. A girl should not be abandoned, shunned or rejected because she cuts herself. She should be first helped. Once she has reached a stable presence of mental wellness then she can be considered for a possible relationship. Until that time it would be a reprehensible notion to exploit her condition just to 'get some'.

What I think isn't up there in the 5 options as well.. I think people who cut themselves don't understand fortunate they are.. they were probably spoiled as a child because that kind of behavior seems to suggest it. The only reasons I always see is like UnknownFox said.. they can't take school work or homework? That's pathetic.. millions of kids in the world understand the importance of an education and theyd do anything to get one to escape poverty.. and these kids cut themselves because they waste their time chasing girls or boys and get depressed when someone doesn't love them back..

Truly ungrateful and pathetic behavior.. I would not date a girl who cut herself.. I would try to be their friend and try my best to explain to her that what she is doing is childish and immature.. I hope she would understand.. if she can't get it through her thick skull, then no thanks.

I'd send her to a shrink and run away

5 answers and not one of what I think. I used to date someone who cut and granted it was the worst choice I ever made because I cared deeply for her and was more worried about her seriously hurting herself. I can hang out with people who do it, granted I wouldn't exactly be thrilled cus I don't understand at all how anyone can.

I see cutting more as a sign of weakness, when instead of cutting they could be taking the frustration out by killing a bunch of people on a game, taking a walk, or just doing SOMETHING other than putting a blade to the arm. Afterall that's what you just need to do, have a bad day at school and also have a series of infections from where you cut yourself.

Yes I have heard people say "I do it cus I can't handle the pain at school or work" but those people I want to slap silly cus there are people who have it 100X worse and are working to try and fix it.

Being honest I was a cutter. I don't think people should judge me on it because I was going through a rough time and different people do different things to cope. Although I don't think it's a positive things people shouldn't judge.

I can't fully grasp the concept; My mind is left blank as I ponder for answers.

I don't think it's weird at all! It's just serious. Cutting is an outlet for people. I used to do it, but I saught help for it and I no longer do it. She's not crazy at all! By calling her crazy you're just only making things worst for her. Who know her reason for doing it? something horrible could have happened and she just doesn't have anyone to talk to.

i would bel like, what the f***?

I would really wonder if someone, any sex had come from a background of abuse, for this is a comom sign, and I would really want to know if they need someone to talk to, or a referral to someone that might understand.

I don't agree with the options you gave for answers.

A person who cuts is in serious mental pain, whether from stress anxeity or family issues -- it doesn't matter.

What matters is they need someone to talk to and love them. It doesn't matter if it is a friend or a boy/girlfriend. Someone to show them the reality of what they're doing.

If a guy I liked was cutting himself, I would be horrified and saddened, and just want to be there for him to lean on. ((like I had when I was going through that awful time))

they need counselling and someone to encourage them to lead a healthier lifestyle

Male or female, he or she need to get help.

yeah cutting isn't attractive. it shows a persons weakness and lack of caring for their wellbeing. those answers in the poll are a bit silly- self harm really isn't cool babe!
also a lot of people tend to do it as a kind of attention thing, which is equally unattractive
love yourself and take care of yourself, and people will love you equally as much!
