Responding to internal pain and hurt ... and "Cutting"

There are two parts in this study.

1. A group of discussion questions, in 3 parts.

 
• Part 1 - Some general questions about how different people respond to internal pain and hurt.
• Part 2 - Questions specifically for those who have practiced (or are practicing) "cutting."
• Part 3 - Questions specifically for those who have not practiced "cutting."
  

  A person who has never practiced "cutting" (or some other socially unacceptable form of response to internal pain and hurt) may find it easy to laugh at those who have. Part of this study is intended to show them that they also respond to situations (at least sometimes, the wrong way), and that they may be partly responsible for causing some of the pain that eventually led to such practices in others.

2. An article about "Cutting"

This is an article about "Cutting," published by a Christian youth organization, called "Teen Mania." There are three parts to it:

• Part One: What Is Cutting All About?
• Part 2: Steps to Overcome “Cutting”
• Part 3: For Those Desiring to Help

Permission is given to make copies of the article.

PDF version, booklet form - File "A" / File "B"
This requires 2 files: The first file contains the front side for each printed sheet; the second file contains the back side for each printed sheet. When all the sheets are printed and collated properly, they can be folded into a booklet and stapled together. (If you wish to add a "cover" to the booklet, you can make your own.)
