I have also been a self mutilater so I understand it from first hand experience. It all has to do with self control. When everything seems to be going wrong and your moods are so out of control, you just can't find any common ground and it can lead to some dangerous habits. Self mutilation is certainly one of them. You can express your internal pain by letting it out external with whatever weapon you have available, whether it's a pocket knife or a razer blade.
For people who don't do it it's hard to understand someone doing that to themselves because when they cut themselves it hurts! Why would someone cut themselves [on purpose]???
When it gets as bad as cutting, we go numb. Not from cutting; from our internal pain. In fact cutting is a real release and makes you feel better. You can control what to cut yourself with, when, how deep, where on your body, in what way; it all comes down to control. Anorexia, bulimia, over-exercising, over-eating, smoking, drinking- it all has to do with control. (Unless people were sucked into it by peer pressure. It doesn't have to do with control, it has to do with acceptance.)
A lot of people think that the first three I stated are because they have a bad self image of oneself, that they're too fat. THAT IS SO WRONG! It's a liberation of a whole new kind of self control. They can control what they eat, how much to eat, and when. They control how much to keep down and when is a good time to throw it up. They control how much they exercise and when to do it.
Now it all comes down to signs and when people should pay most attention to people who might have any of these problems:
1. They aren't going to any of the social events that they used to, like sports or school dances. 2. They aren't hanging out with the friends they used to as much, or they may have found a different group entirely. 3. They're more inclusive and quiet, often times very irritable and defensive. 4. They have a lot of things going on. Maybe it's a big exam or graduation. That can put a lot of stress on people. 5. They're sleeping too much or too little. 6. They're breaking more rules than they used to. 7. Grades are dropping significantly. 8. You can see a big mood swing roller coaster on a regular basis. 9. They're making up excuses to where they've been or why they need to stay home.
It's scary what an epidemic all these things are becoming. Cutting has now become a hobby among friends to see who can cut the deepest. Has anyone heard about that?
Basically it all comes down to control. That's it. My opinion is now stated. ^_^

dboyzero wolf_spirit16 My friend does it and I'm ready to kill her. Seriously.
Okay, that would be very ironic. neutral
Honestly, I think that if you know people who are doing it, for whatever reason, you need to get them some help. It's not just some phase, it's a dangerous habit that could easily turn into an accidental suicide. Talk to somebody about it, don't just let it continue.
Haha you know what I mean...But no, If you know anyone who does it or did it you would know that forceing them into help will do NO good. Unless they are completly ready you do nothing but harm. I would get her help, but she isen't really ready for it. She was taking to a health teacher she trusted and was getting better, but it's summer so she can't see him, and now trys to act like nothing's wrong. But if you force someone into help/treatment it does no good...if not backfires. Otherwise I'd have gotten her haelp long ago.
