Cutting is a sign of maddness:-People who self-harm aren't mad!! They are just people who suffer from a great deal of stress and unhappiness and use it as a way of coping.

Someone who cuts is a danger to others:- People who self-harm, in my experience would never want to hurt anyone else, the focus is hurting themselves!!

Cutting is attention seeking:-I suppose there could be some truth in this, it depends how you look at it. It is DEFFINATLY not to get other people to notice that they do it, but maybe in a way it is almost like reminding themselves they r still physically alive even if they feel emotionally dead!!

Cutting is a suicide attempt gone wrong:- Self-harm is a way of coping, a way of dealing with problems, almost an alternative to committing suicide, Some may attempt suicide as well, but that is a different matter.

People who cut dont feel the pain:- You're joking right?! of course they feel the pain, they are still human and just because they inflict it themselves doesnt mean it hurts any less! At the time they might not be thinking about the pain because it brings so much relief but that doesnt mean it doesnt hurt!
