There are worse things, of course. There are always going to be worse things. But that's not a good excuse to hurt yourself. It is a bad thing, no matter where it stands on the bad stuff scale. It hurts the people around you when you do it as well, never mind about the risk of severing an artery, cutting open a vein, or getting a serious infection.

I'm not trying to blame you in away way, Lilly, I'm just stating my opinion. I know how perfectly fine it feels when you're doing it to yourself, so I understand where you're coming from.
