Teen cutting and Self-Harm on the rise!
Cutting is growing at an alarming rate and most parents have no clue their kids are doing it. For those who are unfamiliar with teenage cutting or cutting in general it is an act of self-mutilation. Usually this starts at an early age, it is not unusual for a cutter to start at age 12. For many parents this is a difficult thing to discuss, it is becauses so many parents are unfamiliar with cutting. Mental health professionals started noticing cutting in the 1950's but it has exploded since then today it is big in Europe with 33% of teen cutters in Ireland admitting they want to die.
Please realize that most information on the web about teen cutting is the same usual stuff. This is not being mean but I have worked with cutters and spent time with them and the stuff on the web really reads out of a textbook. The problem is not that the information is wrong but that it is not life changing.
Studies are revealing how wide spread the problem really is becoming. Teens are discouraged and in despair in a rapidly confusing world, we hope to save the teens who are in this dark cloud with this lens. This lens will provide information on Cutting and what we feel is a solution to the problem "The Red Report".

THE TRUE LIFE OF A CUTTER!
Self-harming since the age of 15 (From the BBC news)The Film "Cut up Kids"It has been estimated that 10% of young people in Britain have self-harmed. There are no official figures, but hospital records show that nearly 500 adolescents a week are treated for deliberately injuring themselves. Emma Parsons, producer of Born Survivors: Cut Up Kids, reveals why one woman resorted to self-harm.
Tor is a country girl who grew up surrounded by ponies and public school life. She had a normal childhood, with a normal family.
Cut Up Kids
But mounting pressure to achieve the entry grades for an exclusive sixth form college caused her to crack, and self-harm became a large part of her life.
"You just take a knife," says Tor. "You just press it down on your skin and you just pull it. You end up bleeding.
"When you drag the blade across your skin it just feels a release.

Profile of a Cutter and some hidden warning signs
Who Self-Injures
Although SI is recognized as a common problem among the teenage population, it is not limited to adolescents. People of all sexes, nationalities, socioeconomic groups and ages can be self-injurers.
Warning Signs
People who self-injure become very adept at hiding scars or explaining them away. Look for signs such as a preference for wearing concealing clothing at all times (e.g. long sleeves in hot weather), an avoidance of situations where more revealing clothing might be expected (e.g. unexplained refusal to go to a party), or unusually frequent complaints of accidental injury (e.g. a cat owner who frequently has scratches on their arms).

CBS NEWS STORY ON CUTTER ALICINE MOORE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Teen Shares Self-Injury Secret
PEORIA, Ill
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(CBS) Self-injury is often called "cutting" because that's what most self-injurers do, but it can take many forms.
A study published this week shows 17 percent of respondents at two Ivy League schools have self-injured. And 75 percent of those have done it more than once.
The Early Show national correspondent Tracy Smith met a young woman from Peoria, Ill., who says self-injury can become a dangerous addiction.
Looking at Alicia Moore, 17, it's hard to see the traces of a troubled little girl but they're there. From a young age, Alicia was exceptional - a brilliant student, a talented musician and dancer. But she hated herself for it.
"I'd get made fun of for being smart. Getting A's on tests. Stuff like that," she remembers. "It was devastating. I thought there was something wrong with me. And that it %u2026 was always gonna be like that."
Isolated and alone, Alicia found the only way she felt better emotionally was to hurt herself physically. The first time she cut was in fifth grade.
"I ripped the soda can in half and just cut myself right here almost on instinct," Alicia explains. "I just remember kind of looking down and be like, 'I did that.' And I just remembered just having kind of this euphoric, everything's OK."
Alicia started down a dark path, where self-mutilation became her only solace.
She says she was addicted to hurting herself. "It was, I feel, the smallest amount of anything. And it was, 'OK, I can cut myself. And it'll go away,' " Alicia says.
Alicia found plenty of ways to cut herself; some were obvious, like razor blades, safety pins and scissors. Other methods took some creativity, like using broken CDs and even ordinary buttons. All were acts of a desperate and hurting girl.
She even secretly made a video, recoding her despair. "I hate being me, that's the bottom line," she said in the video.
Karen Conterio, co-author of "Bodily Harm," says self-loathing is typical for self-injurers. "Self-injury can be used as a punishment, it's intentional. Self-injury can be used as a way to say 'Look at how much I hate myself,' " she explains.
Alicia says she wasn't trying to kill herself. "I didn't cut myself to try to kill myself. I cut myself to release all of this emotional pain that I felt like I couldn't handle anymore," she says.
