Can any christian teens tell me about their experience with self injury/self harm?
I am a christian and I cut myself. If you want to know email me a goody2shoes8553@yahoo.com because I'm not comfortable talking about for all these people to read.

Reply:I've never done that except for once and I almost died so I never did it again. I cut my wrist w/a veeerry sharp knife.
Reply:Wow...that's a very interesting question! I am a Christian, and I have had problems my whole life. My parents told me that when I was little, I would pull (literally rip) my hair out and bite myself and pinch myself. I eventually grew out of it, but when I was 16, a friend told me that she had some of the problems, and she cut herself, because it "hurt so good." I believed her, and I started doing it. I only did it for about a month, because then I got prayed for (my mom found out) and I got some therapy (christian therapy). The problems all came from my mother abandoning me when I was 6 months old. My dad emotionally abandoned me, and I felt alone. Even as a teenager. I now help other girls who feel this way and try to steer them towards opening up about their feelings. I works.





I hope this helps.

Back when from when I was in the 5th grade to 7th grade, I used to do self mutilation. I had a hard time coping with certain things and that's how I handled it.


I don't go to church, however, but my brother is a preacher and I told him and his wife one year about it. They were worried about me and said I needed to see a counsoler. I never did though. I just grew out of it and found other things to do when things get rough.


I mean, now that I think about it, the whole thing is a bit blurry. I can't remember much on it. I just know I did it to control my hurt and anger. My brother didn't take it well, neither did my sister in law. They didn't really do anything to help, really. They tried to get me to move in with them, but my mom wouldn't let that happen.


They did let me start coming up to their house a lot more during weekends and vacation breaks. See, they live like 2 hours away from here, so I don't get to see them much.


But it didn't help. Not really.


But I grew out of it and I realized that it was a stupid way of handling things. But that's pretty much my expierence.
Reply:i used to cut my wrists big mistaKe
Reply:I never injured myself intentionally.... although I have done a couple stupid things that I got injured from.
Reply:I never did but I thought about it a few times and once I tried to but the knife wasn't sharp.
Reply:why do you only wanna know about christian teens? thats a little discriminating..
Reply:I used to cut my wrist, and i had a lot of cuts when i stopped, but only one is still visable. I dont know why I did it, and I didnt tell anyone, just my close friends. I quit because I was getting paranoid that my mom or sister would find out.





My friend did it, and her father found out and now she has to go to counseling and she hates it. I dont know if she is still cutting or not.
