First time you ever experimented with self-harm?

I was about 17, my boyfriend at the time and I were going through a lot of shit. But I took a razor to the bathroom and would make X's going down my thumb towards the wrist, I didnt go deep enough for it to scar or most of the time even bleed. When he held my hand he would ask what happened and I would say its because of all the metal I handling in work. He never seemed to buy it, but he wouldnt ask anymore. Also I when I feel frustrated I dig my nails in - palm, fore arms and head.

12

I was 11. I unscrewed the razor from a pencil sharpener

I might be too descriptive, soooo TW mmkay

4 or 5, I pulled my hair out. My mum made me stop.

10, I scratched with paperclips. Told my mum that I wanted to kill myself. Her reaction was crying and telling me to never say that again. I stopped.

13, I took apart a pencil sharpener and tried out the blade on my arm. Started cutting. I also bought at that age my first shaving razors and took them apart for the first time. I got really triggered and tried to cut with them. I barely touched my skin and I was already deep in my leg... too deep... I'm recovering ever since. But cutting into other things kinda helps lol

I was 11 and I sharpened the metal end of a pencil in a pencil sharpener so that the metal came out in long strips. I didn't really know what I was doing so I cut right above my knees, and deep. They scarred pretty bad and I was always the only girl wearing jeans to school in the spring and summer. After I stopped and they went away everything was fine till the middle of 9th grade and I started again with box cutters on my hip bones, specifically my left. I swim for my school so I can't cut past the edge of my swimsuit, so my scars all crisscross and there's a patch of scar tissue raised above my hip. And the cuts hurt a lot when I get in the water from the chlorine.

I was 11 and I sharpened the metal end of a pencil with a pencil sharpener and cut right above my knees, deep. They scarred pretty bad so I wore jeans for about a year until they went away and I was clean for 2 years. I started again about a month ago on my hips with box cutters and to make sure they don't show under my swimsuit (I swim competitively) they are all crisscrossing in a 2x.5 inch spot.

I don't remember when it was , or how old but I might have been a teenager, I used razor blade to cut my arms , I wanted to die at that time, I couldn't find anything worth living for ,I got better after few months, but never did again, I probably did it several times within a few months,

I was 12. I just liked to cut my fingertips with razor blades.

5 maybe 6 yrs old. At that age it was biting myself or pulling hair, scratching and pinching myself, it migrated to more as I got older. For the most part I don't self harm anymore but there have been sporadic times where I punch a wall to feel the pain.

I think I was like 10. I cut myself while in the tub. There was so much happening in my life already that it seemed like the thing to do. Not sure where I got the idea. For the next 12 years it's how I dealt with everything.
