Dark, disaffected, troubled teenagers, who engage in sub cultural coping methods to deal with a hostile world?

Cutters cut, yes, but what? Cut themselves? cut other people? cut class? cut into queues? cut drugs? cut back? cut it out? cut across? cut'n'paste? cut off? cut a rug? cut dead? For the love of cut, someone tell meeeee!!!!

Cutting paste.
Teenagers who take God's clean paste - like Sardine and Tomato or Chicken and Ham, and cut it with an inferior substance, fo example margarine.

Couldn't cut the mustard

Kids (and adults) that self-mutilate are "cutters". Adults do it too. Opposed to the ones that pierce theirselves 20 times, thats cool and not self mutilation somehow. My friend's daughter was a cutter. She was in and out of the psych ward several times while I knew that friend.
The only people that will hang out with them (cutters) are goth, emo, or punk. Or they are goth,emo, or punk. Which is why they are lumped in.

They feel as if they can heal theirselves of something psychologically, by cutting and bleeding it out. It's a rough condition. ;( Or they are trying to commit suicide....Come to think of it, I knew some pretty successful adults that had this problem(became depressed and cut). So really it's unfair to judge too harshly. They just need to keep up with their meds or go back to counseling.

or just do it right once and be done with it -
this "lil nip here" and a "lil stab there" isn't cutting it.
