Cutting, drugs, alcohol, abuse, not eating enough or eating too much, happen all over the world. In Cut, Patricia McCormick talks about all of these problems and goes into the story behind getting help.
Cut begins with a girl who decides to cut herself to see what the pain would feel like and soon how it wasn’t just pain anymore. It became a habit to make everything happening in her life go away. This is how Callie soon began dealing with her problems; she would react by doing harm to herself. Soon her parents realize she has a problem and needed to get her help by taking her to a rehabilitation center where everybody there had different kinds of problems. Callie sat quietly and refused to get help, sometimes people just don’t want to be helped which made things worse for her.
Things in this world shouldn’t be so difficult that people have to bring pain upon themselves to deal with it. There are rehab centers all over the world that you see celebrities and famous people going to all the time for problems like these. This is what kids and even adults look up to and it shouldn’t be that way. They aren’t being good role models by getting high or drunk or causing harm to themselves.

I agree with you, Jessica G. No one should have to do things to theirselves in order to fit "in." But as you see in everyday of our lives, that everyone is shopping in the "cooo" stored, doing the "cool" things, and trying to "fit in."
I understand how hard it is to help people with this problem because my friend cut herself for about two years. We tried to get her help and talk to the guidance councelor, but she wouldn't go. I agree with most of your post, but I don't agree with the fact that it is the things in this world that make people cut themselves to deal with it. There are several ways to deal with problems, and everyone can pretty much agree that cutting is not the best way. Other than that, in my opinion you did a good job.
Jess, this is halliek and i just thought i would let you know that i loved your blog. I agree with every statement that you made. I like the fact that you think the celeberties this day in time are not very good role models.
