Why would you cut your skin with a knife?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not normal!: Self-injury (cutting or burning) is an unhealthy way to cope with emotional pain, anger and frustration. It is usually done on impulse and may accompany a variety of mental illnesses, such as depression, eating disorders and borderline personality disorder. It is therefore important to seek help.
