Now, you've done it. You made the first cut. There's no going back now. You'll never get that skin back, that will forever be a scar. Forever. And even if you get it removed the memory will remain for life. You'll look at your arm and remember this as a mistake and not for the reasons you say are fine now. That leading on to the next point, your mind will tell you what your boy doesn't know. What you don't know can't hurt you...right? Wrong there are endorphins that are realized into your body that tell you it feels better. It doesn't. In fact, your body will hurt, badly, every time it comes in contact with water or sun, or even just some sort of clothing, it will hurt, and you'll barley realize it. Your body will realize endorphins when you cut, because it's either a new feeling, or you've physically tricked yourself into believing it will feel better. So it does. If your doing this just to your pain. I'd recommend a rubber band, snap it on your wrist and it will give you the same endorphins that the cutting does.  Do this, or some other coping skill, before you make the second cut...the second cut is what really starts it all.
