Why do teenagers cut?

call me crazy but I never thought i would have to deal with a 14 year old boy cutting on himself.  He has a counselor he is ADHD   He is not at the point were it is cutting himself  deep yet.  I have talk to some people and this is not uncommon.  I just do not understand it.  Can anyone help?

I don't know if this will help.  I didn't get my license until I was 23 years old.  I had a hard time with the test too.  I do not believe that you are dumb.  Maybe you are trying to hard.  I feel that you are being to hard on yourself.   I do the same thing.  I have to get up in the morning and look in the mirror and tell myself I am a good person.  It is very hard to do, but I do it.  I use to cry alot alot.  Sometimes not knowing why I was crying.   You need to believe in yourself.  I have found out failure is a part of life.   That is a hard bitter pil to swallow.  IF you could look at failure as a area in which you need to improve, maybe that would help.  I get up and make a list of things that I need to improve in.  Sometimes I only accomplish one thing a week.  I look at failure now as a challenge.  

Good Luck I Know You will get your license.
