OK I'm 14 years old and I've been cutting since the summer of '08. And it seems every time i stop for a while i end up going back into the habit again...Its like i need to do it or something...Do any of you people have advice??? And plus when i don't do it i seem OK but then...when i do cut its like i can actually breath once again < Smile

I've been there. In fact, I still am... But, there are other things out there that you can do instead of cut... for instance, you can pick up an instrument or go on a walk.
There are ways to stop! You just need persistence.
I also suggest you see a counselor. Cutting is very difficult and serious...you need someone to talk to.
