Why is it OK for someone to go under the knife, get horrible surgery, and continue cutting, tearing, and re-arranging their face ?
But if someone cuts themselves with a knife, they are quickly sent to a mental institution ?
Is it all for money, because doctors and hospitals make money from people’s insecurities ?
Why are people allowed to get so much surgery but it’s “wrong” for a person to be a cutter ? When it is somewhat almost the same thing ?
It is not “almost the same thing.” I’m saddened and surprised you think they’re the same thing. People who cut themselves with razor blades or knives need, without question, intensive therapy. I don’t know the jargon but if someone cuts himself he/she is either severely depressed or angry and is in danger of bleeding to death. If you have a facelift you more than likely will not die and a lot of healthy people get them. People who are not severely depressed or angry get plastic surgery. Some, I repeat some of them need counseling.
I don’t think “wrong” is the right word to define cutting oneself. It is not wrong; it’s a cry for help. May I ask your age?
I have an old friend who cut herself with razor blades as a teenager—it had something to do with her mother. She is in her late fifties and still has the scars. I am sorry to say she spent years in mental institutions and is on a dozen psychoactive pills per day. One bright spot is she married a college professor and they are still married with grandchildren. Her husband has always paid for her therapy and medications. I can’t see any similarities between her and someone who had breast augmentation. Very sad question.
