What are the results of cutting?
A. Cutting is a mixed bag, but most people agree that in the balance it’s a bad thing. Cutting can make you feel powerful. It can make you feel in control. It hurts, and that can make you feel alive. But it also can make you feel guilty for “being some kind of a sicko,” and feel shame for having done it. Cutting causes real physical damage to your body. There is also the possibility for infection and/or tetanus (especially if unsterilised implements are used for the cutting).

But it also can make you feel guilty for “being some kind of a sicko,” and feel shame for having done it. Those are the sort of things that take away from one’s self-esteem. And of course, a lack of self-esteem can lead people into bad relationships and other non-healthy situations. Mental concerns aside, cutting causes real physical damage to your body. There is also the possibility for infection and/or tetanus (especially if unclean steel implements are used for the cutting).
