I'm sure there are asians who do cut themselves. It happens everywhere but people tend ot do it secretly as they don't want others to find out.
I really feel for people who self harm as they must be in sooo much pain and depression ot hurt themselves. Self-harming is a way of releasing their inner pain. I know people who have said that by physically feeling the pain it's almost as if they're getting rid of the pain inside. But the reality is that it's not true. They're not dealing with their real problems and need professional help.

O.K. you have problems. So do we all. No matter how many cuts you put in your self you will never be able to eliminate an problem by doing so. For you to tell others is like they said previously, you are looking for attention. If that is the case; just grab up a rock or something and throw it through some window [preferably where no one is standing] and you will get all the attention you want. You will most likely have to pay for the window. Honestly though, cutting is a very serious matter that needs immediate action by loved ones or friends. I have talked to a few different people that where cutting and their ideas behind it are scary. Some verge on the edge of insanity. Get help for anyone you know who cuts. If they are going to hate you for it, let them hate you for caring about them. Thats a hate you can live with.

I had a friend who used to cut herself (she was Asian, which is unusual). I knew she was going through a lot of problems in her private life that were incredibly painful to even hear. I knew she would cut herself in order to distract herself from the problems she was going through. I don't think in her situation it was for fun or for attention because she hid it very well. The only time I found out was when I caught her when she started having bad heart problems...she overdosed on something and started having seizures from it. When I saw her arm, it had plenty of scars and when I talked to her about it, she told me everything. She is a weak stomach type of person who would faint at the sight of blood or shocking actions, so I realized that passing out was her way of distracting herself from the negativity of her life.

well people that cut themselves and let others know or makes it obvious - is clearly doing it for attention.

I believe for those who have tried out this kind of self-injurious act are not coping well in life. They are actually in pain but do not know how to deal with their problems. It will be good if we spot any friends who have cut marks on their wrists or thighs to give them the necessary help. Bring them to see a counsellor immediately.

I do some self-flagellation to a minimal extent. For example, if I do something really embarassing in front of people, I would press my fingernails or pencil into the top third of my finger, the pink part that you use to type with. I wouldn't never do it until I start bleeding, but it'll sometimes leave a small mark. I really don't understand why I do it, but I know it calms my nerves. (I pick scabs too...um....>.>)
Cutting oneself is a much larger scale than poking oneself with a pencil, but maybe the victim is just so overwhelmed that they can't sit still and to calm down they may end up with blood on their hands. I have a friend who says she cuts herself and just enjoyed the feeling. She used a plastic knife and did not slit any major veins (very much like a papercut on the legs, no scars). My point is that I think she did it to get attention/put things into perspective than to end her life. Another interpretation of the thread called 'cutting.'
Serious intent calls for actual medical attention. enough said about that.

this is a serious matter.those people who done this thing needs to consult a doctor.
its a matter of life.
judging people why they do that was'nt funny at all.there are all sort of personal reasons.my only advice is that talk to your parents.thats the best way to do.a friends maybe,but your family that you will count on always...

Cutting is so stupid!! nowadays I see emo people do that.. Yuck.. they're so stupid if they'll cut themselves, why not make it deeper so they will bleed to death!! They do it because theyre sad.. What are they?! All people has many problems.. Maybe their problem is just being heartbroken or family problem.. No humanbeing has no problem.. Cutting is not a solution.. there are many aids victim in africa but still they keep holding on.. I still remember, I have a classmate who cut his wrist in school bcause her girlfriend split up with him!! Dude thats so stupid!! he cut himself, why not use a knife instead of blade.. I know a lot of people use blade! Why don't they put a gun their heads and pull the trigger.. instead of cutting.. If they want to end their life why not mak it simpler.. they're just coward.. theyre attempting to kill thei selves but yet they can't.. Their all stupid. People who cut are all coward to face problems and reality of life! they are stupid..
Some reasons are all lost of loved one.. You only lost one.. maybe that one is all your life but you need to accept it.. You should not think that youre all alone, it is better to cherish the happy moments than to think of the loss.. If you lost your special someone you still have your family, friends, and God! They are all paranoid thinking they are left out..

... actually, depression amongst youth are the most common in the world, and its often left untreated becoz ppl simply just dont realise that a person is suffering from depression.
Cutting, may be a way for them to find relief for pain/stress that they feel, and sometimes, others may think that this is gross and weird of a person.
But please take into considerations that no1 in this world wants to cut... so please dont wear colour glasses looking at them, and give/offer them support and care.
They need to be noticed, and fixed up before the matter gets worst..
where-as u say it doesnt happen often for asians, maybe it does, u just dont know..
becoz, i have 2 close friends who have done it.. and are both asian, living in a great family, but just lacking some love and support.
Be aware of self-blaming language, and low self-esteem people. Sometimes, they dont make it obvious. i just hope that cutting can oneday be stopped..
