Ah na these were sharp, and I usually cut by doing a quick and hard swipe, but they did nothing, and this was when I was like 17. Works best for me, and I use razors anyway.

Anyway, we probably shouldn't talk methods :P

As for the college cutting thing, I don't think either relate to be honest. It's all about stressful experience, than anything.

I imagine thousands across the US self-harm in their college dorms.

Can you get a counsellor on college campus? They should have one right?
