Don't really have any experience with this issue. Have you seen:

It's probably more accurate to say that it SEEMS like it helps. Just like drinking or smoking seems to help.

The truth is, it doesn't help. More likely, what you're feeling is a release of endorphins from the pain as well as a sense of satisfaction from hurting yourself, maybe because there's some reason you think you "deserve" to be hurt.

It's amazing what we do to ourselves, especially when we consider that if it was someone else treating us that way, we'd be pissed.

So long answer short, no, not normal. And talking to someone like a counselor, doctor or minister would be a good start. Good luck.
iN TH E LONG RUN IT WILL HURT NOT HELP SWEETIE
No sweetie it will not help; you might feel good doing it but you should try to find other things to express your anger/sadness on like many teenage boys a suggestive one is breaking stuff (do not go around breaking everything you see) and be safe! But cutting is not the answer!!!
Everybody has there own little thing to get rid of streess and release ther emotions, i have a weird one, i will chew and bite at the inside my cheek and mouth and it maks me feel better. But you should seriously talk to smeone about this because i dont want you to die D:
Sorry i didnt really help lol
This is probably one of the most normal things that teenagers go through at some point.
You'll get through it, dying is a big fucking step, I doubt you would ever actually kill yourself.
how unoriginal. find a new way to get attention.
