Depends: If you're talking about cutting yourself, it's usually due to emotional pain. A person may hurt a lot emotionally, not sure where it's coming from or why they hurt so much. For some people it comes from being abused long ago. There are many less harmful ways to work through issues, so it would be good to talk with a counselor.
