But why?

I really don't understand. I mean, I am aware that there are cultural prohibitions, but what I really need is a list of reasons not to self injure to keep in mind when I have the urge to cut.
Obviously, it would be unwise to self injure in any way that could endanger my life or safety. But I self injure in ways that only occasionally leave minimal scars, so that isn't really a concern for me.
My family disapproves of it, but to be honest, in order for me to avoid my family's disapproval I would have to be an absolutely perfect person, so that doesn't really weigh that heavily with me. I do arrange it so that they usually know nothing about it.
The best reason I can come up with is that God gave me this body and I shouldn't deliberately deface it.
I'm currently trying not to self injure mainly because my therapist would rather that I did not.
I don't mean to offend, but general statements that cutting is bad don't really hit home with me. They just confuse me, because I really don't understand.
