Hey,
This would still be considered cutting, which is obviously not a good way of coping with this and if you keep this up it could eventually get worse. This is how I started out as well, so I know from personal experience. My suggestion is to stop while you're ahead, cutting can become very addictive and it's not healthy at all. Please, find another way to cope, we have a whole list of alternatives in the sticky's above.
Do you know why you cut yourself? Getting to the root cause of this issue is what helps one overcome it, once you start opening up and letting somebody help and support you through this, things usually become easier! I think it would be great if you talked to somebody about all of this and what you are going through, for instance a friend, family member, school counselor, teacher, etc! Somebody that you trust with things!
I really hope things start looking up for you! If you ever need somebody to talk to, feel free to sned me a
PM!
