All I can answer for is my own self.

I started cutting at 13 because I was living in such a state of emotional misery, that the physical pain of cutting was a welcome distraction from the way i felt on a constant basis. It was therapeutic. I cut from age 13 and didnt stop til I was 33.

Anyone who says it's "for attention" obviously has no fucking clue what they're talking about.
