I self-harmed once when I was 15. I remember dressing up in all-black clothes and caking on heavy make-up that same day. Looking back, I think that was one of the lowest (read: most pathetic) points in my life. Not to mention it freaked my parents out and they almost sent me to the psych ward because of it.
Now that I'm older and more mature, I am 100% against self-harming. I realize how foolish and unnecessary it is. And because I am Catholic, I view a person's body as a temple for God's Holy Spirit, and I view things like cutting, intentional scarring and tattoos to be vandalizing that temple.
