Self-mutilation is Stupid

Sometimes people will do some extremethings when they feel tremendous pressure, they might do self-mutilation.Instead of expressing their feelings openly, they take them out on their bodiesby cutting or burning themselves, picking their skin. Taking an overdose,bruising themselves or pulling their hair out. But there are psychologicalconsequences as well, including feeling shame about the behavior and fearingsocial rejection if they admit to hurting themselves. In my point of view, Ithink it is time to stop hurting body and facing problems positively.

人在面對巨大的壓力時有時會選擇做一些極端的事情，他們可能會自殘。與其和別人公開自己的想法，他們寧愿選擇傷害自己的身體，例如割腕，燙傷，針刺。過量飲酒，挫傷或者揪頭發。但是自殘者傷害自己的同時也有心理負擔，這包括對自己的行為感到羞恥以及害怕被社會拒絕。在我看來，應該停止傷害自己的身體，積極地面對問題了。

Think of your parents when you are about tohurting yourself. Most self-injurers would like to choose cutting wrists.However, without any medical knowledge, they have a big chance to cut the mainartery, and they probably would die of excessive loss of blood. Think of yourparents who give life to you and you don’t treasure it at all; think of theyhave to pick up the phone which from your friends or relatives to say “I’msorry for your loss”. Even though they are already heart broken, they have tokeep on being a parent, even though they don’t get to have a child anymore.Therefore, stop hurting the body that come from your parents, it is not onlybelongs to you, but your parents.

當你想傷害自己的時候，想想你的父母吧。很多自殘者都會選擇割腕。然而，沒有醫學知識的他們，很容易就會割到大動脈，他們也因此會死于失血過多。想想賦予你生命的父母吧，而你卻一點都不珍惜；想象一下他們必須得接親戚還有你朋友的電話，說“節哀順變”。盡管他們已經心碎了，但是還得裝作父母親，盡管他們已經不再有孩子去當父母親了。因此，不要在傷害父母賜予你的身體，這不僅僅屬于你，也屬于你父母。

To sum up, when people are facing tosomething they cannot handle or some problems that they don’t want to sharewith others, try not to hurting bodies to release this emotion, the right thingto do is find someone you trust and solve the problem together. Even theproblem cannot be solved, at least you don’t want to hurt yourself sodesperately.

總而言之，當人們面對一些自己無法掌控或者不想和他人分享的事情的時候，試一下不要用自殘來釋放這種情緒，正確的方法是找個信得過的人一起解決這個問題。盡管問題也許解決不了，至少你不會再那么想傷害自己的了。
