Why do people cut them selfs?
I am not being mean at all in anyway, I'm just wondering why people cut to relive mental pain. Also what can I do to help someone who does or might be at risk of selfharming?

There's a lot of reason but from my experience, I started cutting to punish myself but after discovering the emotional release, I continued and got addicted. So I would assume people start because of self-hatred and continue because they need an emotional release. I think the best way to help would be to give other ways to cope and say the you'll be there for him or her. It really depends on the situation if you supply more information I could try to help

Lots of different reasons
1 big one is feeling like you are watching somebody else move your body, you dont feel alive so you cut just to feel alive
Another is because you feel like you deserve to feel pain so you hurt yourself (thst releases endorphins, makes you feel amazing)
thats all I can think of ATM.
