Majority of them don't. I think most common reason would be something among the lines of punishment from what I've seen. Not that hard to hurt yourself when you hate yourself.

This thread can be summed up as: "Watch your fucking kids."

It's really fucked, because if I was on the Internet slightly younger than I was, I can see myself becoming enamored with this community. I can understand why they do it. Cutting to expose the fat really disturbs me though; you definitely need stitches for that kind of wound right? These poor kids... I have cousins this age... maybe I should talk to them more.

(cutting/burning dumb shit into our arms and whatnot for the macho lolz)

Honestly probably also how it starts for some, I remember a lot of guys burning their arm hair as a... challenge? Trend? Whatever you want to call it. I recall that salt + ice trend too, been kind of a lot of challenged that are borderline gateways into self harm actually.

The way shtwt romanticises it is so fucked, I remember seeing an alleged 12 year old posting about hard drugs and self harm and them having a shit ton of followers. That was one of the most depressing things. Other than that a lot of kids throwing "Cutspo! So pretty uwu" at each other and discussing tools you can cut yourself with. I know it leaks into the reviews on amazon and aliexpress for said tools too. Honestly just don't let your kids go on twitter, there's nothing there for them anyway.

Kids aside though I have encountered some mildly cow-like behaviour here and there but not really anything more amusing than it was depressing.

Technically yes, medical professionals suggest gaping wounds (regardless of depth) and anything deeper than the dermis to be closed. Realistically though? Bodies are incredible at healing. Even wounds reaching the muscle (or bone) can be healed at home with basic medical supplies, reasonably frequent wound care, and a shitton of luck.

Other than infections, the main issues with not getting medical attention are inconsistent scarring looking ugly (usually not a concern for cutters) and scar shrinkage that can inhibit full range of movement. Most cutters aren't aiming for joints though, so even that isn't a big concern to a lot of people.

n1nathekiller was one of the users actively organizing harassment campaigns against Bx in the SHEDtwt community until she got suspended. She returned as EJofshedtwt and runs a small self harm community Slitter twitter : P (of course totally not about glorifying self harm)


I believe she already posted something about being taken into care or needing medical treatment not too long ago. Now she needed another ambulance ride and kept posting to her self harm community from the hospital, discussing her medical report, vaping and outfit, among other things. Hospital staff writes that she is talking in strange accents and intonations that might have come from the media, another sign this girl is probably highly susceptible to outside influences (see also: pronouns, ED info and DID system). For now, it ends with her being disappointed as the doctor tells her the cuts are not deep.

Spoiler: tweets including some scarring pics

Medical report:
"She vaped throughout the assessment"
"Speech & Language: normal rate and constant but speaks with variation in pitch, intonation and accents that have potentially been picked up by the media"

Just another day of young people sharing harmful, disturbing content on shtwt...

Par for the course. Mutual posted a diagram of the skin layers and got a ton of shit for criticising the use of "styro" "yeet" and all those retarded terms. Kids were mad.
If it helps any, quite high likelihood that most of these kids will grow out of this shit, look back on it in their twenties and cringe real hard.
