[QUOTE="jbrain, post: 323926, member: 3450"] My difficult child 1 was a cutter but I think in her case it was to gain "status"--she could get her friends all worked up and worried and she got lots of attention from her friends, teachers, therapist, etc. My easy child/difficult child 2 also began cutting but in her case it was truly because of her emotional problems and she has worked hard in therapy to deal with her problems and to also not resort to cutting as a coping mechanism. Having 2 kids who cut I can really see the difference between the one who was doing it for attention and the one who was doing it as a coping mechanism. Also, cutting was a "popular" thing to do--sort of like smoking or drinking--it became a "cool" thing at my kids' school. Jane [/QUOTE]
