Cutting is Addictive

Cutting is very addictive, almost like a drug. The more students cut, the more they engage in it. Speaking from former experience, I can honestly say the road to rehab isn’t easy.

The question everyone asks is why do students cut school and classes? Students cut classes because they don’t want to be in class dong work. Instead, students would rather be anywhere doing anything they consider “fun.”

“Fun” activities include hanging out with their friends, getting food or going to the mall. Some students cut to get away from the homework, classwork and the test. “Cutting is addictive because you get away from the school work and you have fun and you have no work to worry about,” stated Gaitree Persaud.

Students then become addicted to cutting and they continue to skip classes and sometimes school. This leads to the drop in grades and students getting left behind.

When students who cut start going to class and doing their work, the day seems to take forever and never seems to finish. “If you cut all the time and you stay all day in school, the day seems to take forever,” stated Wazir Mohamed, a retired cutter.

Cutting is addictive and it affects your grades. If students want to do well in school they need to stop cutting and go to class. The road to rehab isn’t easy but the outcome is worth the trip.
