Self Mutilation, Cutting, and causing yourself physical pain is a growing act that is seen throughout the world. People from all walks of life perform some way of hurting themselves and I’m one of those people. My way is not from a razor or a pin like traditional cutters, but from a finger nail clipper. Ever since the sixth grade I started biting and cutting my nail passed the skin line than ripping off the remaining nail so that my fingers and toes would start to bleed. I started cutting my nails because I could not go through with a thought of suicide. Causing myself phyical pain was the only thing that took away my emotional pain. Years later I’m still cutting and biting my nails, but there is permanently damaged to both my fingers and toes. I can’t get a manicure or a pedicure because the moment anything touches my skin it will start to bleed and I won’t even feel it. I wish that I could stop hurting myself but I can’t. The feeling, of pain, that I get after I feel after I rip off my nail replaces the depression that I was feeling. If there is anyone else in the world that is starting this act of mutilation, DON’T START. I wish that I never started.
