  • Its not a trend, and we dont try to copy movie characters either u stupid fucks..its a way to deal with all the crap we deal with!

  • these persons have no idea of what they are talking about! fuck of what they say. i´m cutting too and i don´t think it´s a trend or something like that! it´s a problem and hard to handle with it....those persons who have no idea of what they say, shut the fuck up!!!

  • Most fucking retarded thing I've ever seen.

    I'm sad..Let me cut myself with a scissor that sounds legit.

  • These people have no idea what the FUCK they're even talking about. Trend? Are you kidding me? If a person saw my cuts at school I wouldn't be cooler or have more friends, I woul be a loner. These "experts" piss me off.

  • trend? really?

  • Freaking trend, it's a way to cope. And it IS an addiction,mayor body releases endorphins when you cut so you can get addicted to the endorphins...

  • This video is retarded. It's not a freakinf

  • It is not trend it is what emotional people do

  • It's never a 'trend'. If people go to such measures just to feel 'cool' or for attention, does that mean they don't need/deserve help?

  • All i have to say is that, you people are stupid.

    Cutting is NOT a 'trend' and never will be one, people have there own reasons, so shut up and leave them alone. nuffsaid.

  • The only thing I didn't appreciate about this video was the repeated description of the scars as "horrific" I felt this was a guilt trip and caused more shame/humiliation to be attributed to the scars than was healthy. I get they don't want people to do it but fear tactics are not the way to go.

  • They were right about it not being a suicide attempt.

  • i self harm and yh i cut to take away the hurt and anger im going thew ect:

  • Trend >:(

  • ...this video is stupid those adults wouldnt understand if they wanted to tryin to profile us! they dont have a clue

  • is this the onion?

  • I commented on it being a trend, no harm meant, but It looks like my own experience with these videos was much more real than the ketchup and syrups look... I tried developing pics, and this is before photoshop, and I'd never get them back... they were either left not developed, or thrown away... I took pictures to try to show me to stop when I felt the urge to do so... as soon as the scars would heal, or someone would tell me, "hey, you're beautiful", I'd go home and "pick" for hours on end....

  • It's not a trend, but you have to give them props.. they're one of the first informative videos that were almost accurate on everything.

  • "trend" no its not "addicted to the 'idea' of it" no not an addiction to the 'idea' , addiction to it! "the thing to do" wtf? no most of the time ppl say not to try it! oh and just so you freaggin know most self harmers keep it a secret so i dont know why your saying its a trend in the first place! oh and not just teens do it! adults do it to idiot!

  • its not like their doing it for fun.. jeeez.

  • Cutting isn't a Trend! Stupid media. They don't understand! Cutting is a way of dealing with your negative emotions! A way of stress relief.

  • I used to cut when I was a teen.. And I understand why all the people who commented are upset at it being called a trend. I think they meant it more in the way that the idea of it spreads faster and easier now with the internet and all. What doesn't spread easily these days with the net handy? I don't think they meant teens think it is cool or hip, but that simply put, they see it, hear it's a way to cope, try it, then like it too much. I heard someone talk about cutting so I tried it...

  • So many mistakes in this, it's pathetic. One of the biggest is telling parents and kids how traumatic these visuals are and warn harshly not to see them. Right there you'rre seinding a message making this sound appealing. You're not teaching squat. This is such a lousy report.

  • ??????we're mimicking them? what the fuck

  • Holy shit, I swear... Someone tell me which news station this is, I will legitimately send them an e-mail about how offensive this video is to those who self harm or know someone who self-harms. Try living with it yourself, ignorant cunt.

  • Its not a fucking trend and its not always self mutilaition

  • @selfharm899 its alway self mutilation. but you are right it isnt a trend

  • it's not a trend you fucking asshole!

  • You idiots think it's a TREND!?!?! We dont do it because of that. We do it to feel better and cope with crap like that!!

  • Some adults have so many issues. A trend?! No, it's not a fucking trend. People do it for the release or to feel like they have control. What is wrong with the people who made this video?!

  • I've been cutting since i was in grade 4... I tried to hide them but they wern't as deep as the ones i have now. im now in grade 9... and No one knows what I'm going thru. Cutting is not a trend. it is a way to feel better. The ones i have now... are really noticable. I cut over 2 veins on my one cut, and its raised on those two areas, No stitches, i just let myself bleed. People say it was a suicide attempt... it wasnt.

  • A Trend? Cutting isn't a Trend, it's a way of keeping in feelings. That's just wrong to call it a "Trend"

  • i have cut myself over the past three years. its not a trend. i felt that it was a way to get out my problems. i felt that if i told someone then it was putting my problems and burdens on them. it was easier to cut then the talk.

  • Shut the fuck up you fucking stupid bitch, it is NOT a trend! People do it because it is a release from the pain inside, not because it's 'cool'!

  • Its. Not. A.Trend.

  • Comment removed

  • Pm me I need some one to talk to

  • Cutting is NOT a trend, I agree! My sister automutilates herself after the death of my parents. It's a REAL decease en I still don't know how to help her to stop. I'm really worried about my sister... (sorry for my language, I am dutch...)

  • omg ppl who have never cut really don't know what gose thorgh someones head when u cut

  • mimic a girl from a fucking movie wtf is ur problem why dont all of you suck a fucking dick and call it a day!

  • Your a stupid reporter. trying to make a buck with someone elses pain. This is not a trend or a attention seeking tool. Many of us have no outsources. and we result to this type of behavior. Furthermore most of us have been abused in many ways. So, why don't you look at the causes instead of making it a prime time adventure.

  • a fucking trend? who the fuck cuts cause its "trendy" its not fucking trendy bitch! people who cut have problems and they dont know what to do and how to deal with it so they take it out on themselves. it isnt something you do for fun. its something that some people do if they are hurting on the inside. god some people are fucking stupid. who goes "hmmm what should i do to stick out... oh i know ill cut!" god you guys are idiots!

  • I'm gonna start cutting myself.... For fun lmaoo yyyyaaayyyyy

  • @mimiandlucky221 You are grazy without cutting! I don't cut, but my sister does and it hurts my feelings every day! Every time I wake up and I hope and pray that I don't find my sister bled to death in her bed! I appologize for my poor Englisch, I'm Dutch

  • 14 days without a razor..

  • So, The People In This StupiidAss Video Need To Realize, Most Cutter's Don'tNeedHelp. TheyKnow What's Too Much,&What's Not. It's Controlled. It's Not Even A Bad Thing.? It's Liike When People Run Until They Pass Out, Is That A Suicidal Attempt Too.? Is That A Cry For Help.? Cutting Keeps Me Calm. Don't Take It Away From Me.

  • @brilovesemily in a few months ull change ur mind. when people found out i cut and tried to help me and took me to hospitals and syc wards i would scream theres nothing wrong with me, why cant you leave me alone, it isnt bad, i dont need help. now i know there is something wrong. i cant control my cutting. it is bad. i know when u read this u will disagree but soon u will know exactly what i am talking about. tho it isnt a suicide attempt unless u force it to be, it is a cry for help.

  • This really pisses me off, they clearly know fuck all about this.

  • Really, this video is stupid. These people have no idea what they're talking about. And if you thought the media was such a problem with cutting, then maybe you shouldn't put the name of one of the websites in your video protesting those EXACT websites. Idiots. .__.

  • no the websites help cutting is a damn addiction and self reales and u fucking ppl got it all wrong this fucking video makes it sound like ppl who cut are mentale and are aliens and dont belong this video is fucked up ppldont fucking do it cuz they see some one els do it so there like oh that looks so cool and fun no ppl cut to feel relef u stupid fucks

  • Adults don't know a shit.

    It's not a f_cking trend to cut!

    I cry every single time i have cut.. 'cuz after I feel week.. They don't know how we feel!!

  • "experts say that cutting is not an attempt at suicide" it doesnt take an expert to know that. fuck this shit. they dont know what the fuck they are talking about. i will start listening to my counselor when she stops acting like she knows what the fuck im going through.

  • i cant believe how deemeening and offensive this video is to self harming and scars. The fact they warned that even teenagers could have unsuitable viewing with this, shows how scars are depicted by the media as something to be ashamed of, something that is dirty that needs to be exterminated. This is an example of how people with scars are subjected to hassle and expected to cover them just to appease someone elses ignorance. Well for me, and all those with scars. Stay proud, this is BULL.

  • 'it looks like a suicide attempt'

    you must be kidding me...

  • These people have no fucking clue about what their talking about...

  • NEED? who needs to cut like its not something like water that we really NEED like really how can you NEED to cut

  • @thatguyoverthere117 because u dumb fuck its an aditon like smokeing and drugs its a damn adition u want to understand y dont u try liveing the life of a cutter and ull see how bad ull NEED it after a while

  • i hate Carol O'Connell, she talks with a ironic tone =/ 

  • I cut myself (5.5 months without it though :-)). I can tell you that at least for me it was not a "trend" and before I did it, I never knew about it. My dad had me pissed off and I was alone with his hunting knife and due to certain things said, I decided to slash my thigh with it. For some reason I still don't know, I thoroughly enjoyed it. If it weren't for some of the "triggering" cutting websites, I would probably have committed suicide instead.

  • Is it bad when I see those pictures with tons of scars and their kinda deep that I wish I had to courage to do that? My scars (all 9 or 10 of them faded mostly) aren't deep at all so nobody notices, not even my parents when my wrists are infront of their eyes. I know I need help but I can't get it because I have a hard time talking with my parents because I don't hug them I've never told them I love them and I never hugged them... Help me...

  • @XAnimeXxFan if you ever need help you can inbox me on here or my e-mail - xocaitlin4xo@aol.com

  • its not from tv..i started cutting when i was 14 years old,,im 50 now,,i stopped when i was 16 and started again ........tonight...im not proud of it, but it released the pain the i was keeping bottled up inside..

  • It's not all adults, it's just this reporter.

  • this is f**king retarded. it pisses me off. a TREND?! slicing with razor blades? F*ck these people. they know nothing. "commonly middle class girls" you can't ever put a label, or statistic on this type of shit.

  • @xolacellaox damn right

  • this is so pathetic. these people know nothing.

  • This video is pathetic.

  • i did before and that thing is right alot of kids at my school do thaat 2

  • This shit pisses me off I mean cmon people cutting a trend people do this because their depressed sad or angry people don't do this to copy the movies they do it to hide the emotions their feeling inside so shut the fuck up this has nothing to do with you so fuck off i have alot of shit to deal with in my life im not bragging but I do cut my dad saw them once and slapped-me like 5 times and said if you ever do this again ill cut you off from the world like homeschool no tv no radio no friends n

  • If you haven't been through it, you shouldn't try to educate other people about it. -_-

  • Girl, Interrupted and Thirteen are two of the awesomest movies everrr!

    By the way, I honestly believe that as soon as these people get out of rehab that they will start to cut again.

    Also, to some naive folk out there... just because certain people aren't poor, doesn't mean they aren't depressed.

    Money can do a lot but it cannot heal the sadness of one's soul.

  • WHAT THE FUCK! I AM SO GODDAMN PISSED AFTER WATCHING THIS! I DON'T THINK I HAVE EVVERRRRR BEEN THIS MAD IN MY ENITIRE LIFE! CUTTING A TREND!!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! WHAT IN THE FUCK ARE YOU FUCKING TALKING ABOUT!?!?!?!! YOU HAVE NO FUCKING IDEA LADY LET ME TELL YOU THAT! YOU MOTHERFUCKER DONT KNOW THE SLIGHTEST THING ABOUT CUTTING SO DONT EVEN FUCKING TRY TO LECTURE PEOPLE ABOUT IT!

  • they dont understand it.... people could have worse situations than just "having a bad day"

  • It's easier to SEE it? No, it's not. It just reminds you of what you did. We aren't AFRAID to show emotion either all the time. We just don't want to sit here and try to EXPLAIN it.

  • i was in self injury when i was 15, now im 25, and it was the most stupid thing ive ever did by far

  • I want to thank Lyneika for the "shaving razors" idea. Used it tonight. Works real well actually.....other than that, this vid is still bullcrap

  • Cutting isn't a trend, it's a problem lots of people have, including me...

  • "Some say its becos of movies and the internet....that kids will start to mimick them" .....the fuck? "They cut to communicate with eachother" .....seriously?? I wish these effing so-called, half-ass "experts" would stfu and just accept the fact that they aint gd and they dont know everything! Cutting is my way to keep calm, to forget the world for the moment and remember each hell it puts me thru later. so many people dont get that and thats when they come up with ^^^this bull crap^^^

  • i cut, i dont cry, i cut. it makes me feel like im the one conytolling and i think about other stuff. i started with shawe.razors and now i mix... i know cutting isnt really ''good'' but if it makes me feel better then i shud be able to do it!

  • How could this be a tend, serioullly, i know i am not proud of what i do im not doing it to fit in im not copieing anyone, i do my best to hide it so treend my ass, stupid media,

  • fuck off people you dont know what were going threw

  • @randomsissors My mother mentally abused me. Ever since i can remember i was a " Idiot" and an "Asshole" I remember when i was 6 i spilled milk on the floor, and i needed to "Pay attention" And "stop being a worthless idiot". And i need to "sack up" Which resulted in a deep hatred for the world. But now i have learned to take my violence and direct it at scumbags. The point being, i sympathize with you. But we all go through things. Kill something. Dont hurt yourself.

  • i've sort of cut. i took a sewing needle, turned on F***ing Perfect by P!nk, and scratched into my skin "PERFECT" i did that 3 weeks ago. the marks are still there. and it sure as hell isnt a trend!!! i know i shouldnt do it but it really does feel better once ur done. get your facts straight mother fuckers!!! hellno one in my family knows about it!!!

  • @ 5:05 -- "and now, especially in teenagers, we see it's much more prevalent--it's kind of the thing to do." is it? really? are you kidding me? are THESE people considered experts? b/c they don't seem very knowledgeable. i think this video is the most annoying shit i've ever seen.

  • a TREND???? stfu! i hate hearing that!!! i do it because physical pain is easier to endure than emotional,it makes me feel better! some people really need to shutup because they don't know what they're talking about.

    ...and to everyone else who cuts,im recovering and u can message me anytime if you wanna talk,iloveyou all soo much-33333 ;***

  • @BabiiGurlieeluvzyaa <33333 *

  • Tat woman doesn't know what she is discussing. Movies are not why people cut

  • shut up . idiots. a trend? really? hell no its not a "trend". its a way of coping. we dont do it to get attention. if you dont know what your talking about DONT say anything.

  • its not a fucking trend....adults will never fucking understand..

  • yes i am emo i cut to let out the pain of the day i have my way of making me fell better u have urs

  • These people don't know shit. Shut up and get your damn facts straight

  • These fresh marks on my upper legs are the way I make it through each day. Fuck off and get your facts right, it releases endorphins in the brain that cause a real sense of release and happiness.

  • Lawlz I love how ppl think they know what they're talkn bout,cuz cutting IN NO WAY IS ANY SORT OF TREND! get ur facts straight and know what ur talking about before u say it

  • @paramorecrazyy LAWLZ!!!!! ur so right these people don't know what they're even talking about

  • Cutting yourself is NOT a way to cope if you think that you need some SERIOUS HELP, If you know someone that cuts themself or if aYou cut yourself SEEK HELP!!!!

  • ooohh how much I HATE those psyhologist and that shit!! the don't know A THING about cutting!!!

  • you're all wrongly informed fuckheads. go die in a hole. kthxbai.

  • i hope all the people who made this video get struck by lightning.

  • The scares on my arms and legs are NOT a trend. It's a way to cope. It isn't cool, it isn't "in style" it isn't something kids do to become popular... Most teens that cut will tell u that they want to stop and wish they never started. It's an addiction not a..... Trend.

  • dudes yell got to get ur shit stright mother fuckers lol

  • Does this lady even know what she is talking about?!?!? This is not a trend! This is a real problem and there's no way we can try to help other people when all of this nonsense being told

  • Omfg this woman is soo stupid!!!!THIS VIDEO IS STUPID SELF HARM IS NOT A TREND YOU IDIOTS!!!!!!

  • A trend? How the fuck can you call it that, so someone sees you cutting and you think 'aw that looks fun, I'm gona do that' no I don't think!! And not all ways of coping are 'cutting' there are so many other ways of self harming. Do us all a favour and find out what you're talking about before you just make a video.

  • Comment removed

  • Its a way to relieve pain, fcuk you

  • s/h isnt a trend, god that news readers an idiot, its not fashion, its a way of coping.

  • trend?? How can anyone call it a trend? maybe it's growing in numbers. But it is in no way a form of following a trend. And not all cuts are on arms.

  • trend?? How can anyone call it a trend? maybe it's growing in numbers. But it is in no way a form of following a trend.

  • Cutting is an addiction, a way to cope when nothing else works, it can be a sign of depression and other emotional problems, but here's the thing; It can also be a form of expressing. Or something that someone just likes. Anyone ever heard of 'Masochism'? I'm a masochist, I cut, but I've never cut because of the rare times when I'm unhappy. I just like the pain. Not the attention, I hate it when people ask me about the marks, so yeah, I do tend to hide it, but pain is enjoyable to some like me.

  • Yes I cut,but I dont do it for attention. It is an addiction, but everyone thinks just bc they tell me to stop,that its just gunna stop,but it isnt.They dont take the time to understand how I feel, but also I refuse to talk about anythin bc i think no one cares.My boyfriend and best friend are the only 2 ppl who know how I truly feel.so ppl just have to fuckin get over themselves, they think they're best.The greatest ppl in the world are those who can be hurting,yet seem like the happiest of ppl

  • They just made this sound like everyone does it for attention. Being emo and cutting because its what your "supposed" to do when your emo is stupid. Adults don't have a single clue. I say most of the people who cut are not part of the emo trend, and unless you saw their scars yo would never thing they would do it. And they barely talked about some of the issues that make people cut, this just made me a little P.O

  • I wish my parents would understand ths much...

  • this video has pissed me off. I am a recovering cutter and I hate the way the media and "news" reports are making this sound like its easy to quit because its not really addicting or that its just a trend that keeps getting worse.

  • TREND???

    SELF MUTILATION??

    FUCK DO MEDIA EVEN HAVE A FUCKING HEART ABOUT HOW WE FEEL ABOUT THESE THINGS THEY ARE SAYING ABOUT THIS???

    jesus christ somebody shoot them....

    adults will NEVER understand

  • TREND!?! fucking idiots.

  • i used to do that :D

  • horrific and difficult to look at?

    try living with it

    and who is 'they' this is the most blinkered view of self harm i have ever come across

  • That lady looks like a squirrel with nuts in her cheeks!

  • We don't do it because it's popular we do it to cope

    Please people look see what's starring u in the face

    it helps us when nothing and no one else can or will

    if u want to change it then except it! except us!

    don't hate me because i cut, love me because i'm trying to stop

    so far i've managed one month without cutting

    the internet helps me coz i know i'm not alone

  • We don't do it because it's popular we do it to cope

    Please people look see what's starring u in the face

    it helps us when nothing and no one else can or will

    if u want to change it then except it! except us!

    don't hate me because i cut, love me because i'm trying to stop

    so far i've managed one month

  • This just made me want to cut!! In fact peace out!!

  • cutting is not a trend......................

  • actually, most of us cut because we want to feel alive, something alot of people havnt felt before

  • i find this really offensive... using words like mutalation and slicing... i mean really? there are other words like that... their scars are disturbing to look at? seriously...

  • That "particular part" of society their refering to, is us. The freaks. Their just calling us freaks.

  • Shut the fuck up, cutting is NOT a trend, its not something you can just STOP, its not for attention, these people have NO IDEA what they're talking about. And the pereson like 3 below me 'cutters are stupid' shut the FUCK UP, you probably have NO IDEA what its like to self-injure if you accualy do. And they say its spread through t.v/ movies? What the fuck? kids do it learning from either themselves or other kids, not fucking t.v. These people are idiots. Sometimes nothing has to be done.

  • @startpixie preach it gurl

  • @startpixie these peopel making the cideo are all retards...i completly agree with you

  • i cutt my self bqus im depressed and my mom died :( u can call me sick but its my way to handle the pain.

    and for some reason i like scars o.o

  • This.... actually make me kind of pissed off.

  • TREND???? I find that enormously offensive!!

  • cutters are soo stupid! they do it because its easier to handle the emotional pain right? well now you have to handle BOTH the emotional and physical! -_- damn man peoplee now a days. don't get me wrong im a cutter to but i didn't do it for those reasons!

  • @gr33nkiwii

    theres no physical pain.. for what reason did you do it ? cuz its cool or what ?

  • Furbies are a trend. Cutting is not a trend. Yes the scars are hard for you to look at- if you ever looked in my EYES you would have seen it five years ago. "It looks like a suicide attempt" Yes Elaine, I thought burning my shoulder would kill me. I'm not afraid to cry, I CAN'T cry. "The thing to do?" How can you be so oblivious you are interviewing cutters! Do you her a word they're saying?

  • You fucking morons know nothing. Cutting isn't a trend fucking idiots. Once you start you can't stop no matter what. -_- retards >.<

  • IT'S NOT A FUCKING TREND.

    Idiot.

  • blades from shaving razors give effortless deep cuts for when you want to see blood. but they aren't very satisfying.

  • It's not a fucking trend. It's an addiction. I'm 15 and have been addicted to cutting for 3 years.

  • trend? did that televised piece of plastic just say cutting was a trend? Silly bands are a trend, ponchos were a trend, cutting is a NOT a trend, this woman obviously needs more help then I do, if she thinks its a trend

  • its not a god damn trend its a fucking addiction!!!

  • fuck the media...fuck society. this is why teenagers say adults dont know anything... because they dont....

  • Yeah, Trend. Go kiss an ass you idiot.

  • fuck the news people

  • Yeah.

    And there's tissue in the toilet if you're gonna cry about it.

  • These people are fucking dumbasses.

    Plus her scars arent even bad.

    You should see my arms.

  • @TheNocturnalCannibal

    it doesn't matter how bad the scars are. Any scars from self-injury are a sign of major distress. my scars aren't very bad but i've been doing it for 4 years. you can't see most of my scars because there are so many they blend together.

  • I swear to God, I want to cut that bitch's throat. I don't cut for attention. I cut to fucking take out my feelings on myself. Mostly its anger and depression feelings. Stupid bitch. No, I am not Emo. If i did it for attention wouldnt' I go around showing everybody? No, i keep it to myself and I suck it up.Don't cut too deep and your good.

  • WTF?!?!? Us cutting is not for attention or other shit. Why would we need attention from some damn scars if we can do it other ways??? Our scars in my point of view is from emotional pain, maybe from people making fun of you or maybe love or some other stuff that makes you really depress. If you havent cut don't talk shit about us like that, You probably don't know how it feels to be us. When you do it then you can have your damn opinons seriously!!

  • OMG, i hate the lady with the pc in the backgorud.... fuck her

  • really if you havnt done it dont judge.

  • @chewemily same here

  • WTH. Fuck the experts. You don't realise what it is from "research". You don't even realise what it is from doing it yourself.Everyone does it for different reasons so just stop the fucking research with it. A trend? Just, no. Fucking no.

  • Alarming trend. Wtf its not a bloody trend.

  • im 11 and i cut. alot..

  • Im sorry,

    I cant stop

  • Mutilation? That's such a disgusting word. We don't want it to show. Why do you think we cut in the first place? We want to take care of it not whine to people. It's not 'the thing' to do, it has nothing to do with anyone else which is why we don't come bouncing in "look what I can do!"

    Just like the news. Thanks for taking something delicate and using a thesaurus to make people gasp and gossip.

  • as a former si-er its so ironic that when I watch this I flinch... gives me the shivers when she describes it all

  • Its like a high../:

    I know how it is i have scares all over

  • A trend, how stupid can these people get they just haven't got a clue.

    I have cut/burned for about 7 years and these people never fail to piss me off by treating self harmers like crap.

  • first off self harm is not just cutting or burning it can be in other ways to and how the fuck is it a trend ?!

  • cutting aint that bad,it helps alot

  • ....the majority of 'scene' people do it for attention.

    (no offense if your 'scene')

    but yea like most people say its not something for attention.

    i always wear sweaters.

  • if we dont cry ,we cut ? we do both. we dont do it for attention. back the fuck off, every one has a different way to cope, and most teenagers find cutting easier =.=

  • A trend?? what the abs
