The whole problem here is that the humanist believes in relative morals (what is right for one may not be right for another), but those who are not humanists believe in muhc more absolute rights and wrongs. I will never try to claim that those who cut are because of it "evil", but I do believe it is the wrong choice. If there is a hole in your wall, will you cover it with a piece of paper and call it good? Even replacing it every time it's blown off won't mean the wall is repaired, just as cutting yourself every time you feel bad will not solve the problems that are making you feel bad.
I hate the medical profession these days, primarily because they try to claim everything in chemical and push pharmaceutical products on us. If you suffer from depression, certainly there may be a chemical imabalnce. But I think more than likely you have serious cause for your attitude. You need to look in yourself, and maybe have a psychiatrist help you, and see WHY you feel this way. Then rectify that problem. Will it be easy? No, but it will have a far more significant impact on your condition, situation, and attitude than cutting yourself will have.
Cutting makes things worse for your friends and family, who are concerned about your cutting, and suicide makes it even worse for your friends and family because they all feel some guilt over it. Is a temporary fix worth hurting the people who care about you? And, in my opinion, if your friends support you cutting yourself, they're no true friends. A true friend would be helping you find a more permanent solution to the problem, not encouraging or supporting a temporary fix that's not even worth it.
