I never knew about self-mutilation and cutting when I was a teenager, but when I started producing news shows and PSAs on teen topics, it was a major issue that kept coming up (especially among girls who were the "attractive, popular" ones in school.) A terrific film that deals with the issue of teen cutting and self-destructive behavior is "Thirteen". What an awesome film in that it was co-written by the star of the film, Nikki Reed, who was a teenager at the time. Hi Tammy – great topic, and one that unfortunately needs to be talked about.

I was in highschool and being popular was at that time important but now i am a adult and i don't care . I see that now but then it was a different story. Family need to be a support and christian councilers need to be available to talk to. Women need other women they can trust and important it helps to talk to someone who has been there. It bothers me and i don't think girls should hide their feelings . My mom taught me to treat girls with respect not treat them like whores cause they are not. Girls want to be loved period. I am old school i guess and and i got gray hair to prove it. I do care just wish i could help in some way.

There have been many time in my life when my expression was suppressed, and the as a teen I remember the frustration and the battles I went through with my friends, with my family and the inner wars I had with myself. Thank you again for this beautiful article and giving us all some tools to help deal.
