It's not exactly a sport but some people treat it like one. I cut myself for about a year of and on. Some of my friends who also cut would show me and we'd talk about it. It relieves stress, pain, and grief. No, it's not something good, but it works for some people and its better than suicide.
Its a way to "vent our feelings" as my doctor says.
Self-mutilation, by cutting, cigarette burns, and the like, is not a suicidal action. It is the displacement of unbearable emotional pain with the (actually) more bearable physical pain. However, in order to deal with the emotional pain, DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) is the current standard of care.

How do you stop cutting without seeking professional help?
It is my understanding that people do it because the self inflicted pain distracts them from the emotional pain they are feeling. First you must address your emotional pain. Find out why you are cutting. What is it that you do not want to feel, what pain are you trying to cover up? Then you must address that pain, eliminate that stress from your life. Cutting is an addiction as well. You have to want to stop in order to stop. You just stop doing it, use your will power, be strong. But if you are a cutter you probably need professional help, not particularly to stop cutting but to address the deep emotional pain that you are feeling.

If you have been a cutter since age 11 you are now 25 and still suffer from this disorder you seek help but still find it hard to stop because you cut to cover the emotional pain you have in your life?
well I'm 16 turning 17 and I've been cutting for 5 years and 4 months In my experience with cutting it's very addictive because your body releases natural pain killers. and cutting doesn't solve your emotional pain it only masks them but, if you cut every time your feeling the emotional pain trying to depress it, the pain will always be there until you finally face what your running from. and a 25 year old who's been cutting since they were 11 obviously doesn't want to deal with their problem and instead runs from them.
