I don't know much about this since I'm not a cutter and have never dealt with a cutter (as far as I know). I do know that in the movie Thirteen, the girl is a cutter and cutting issues were dealt with on the show 'Degrassi' - It's a show on Noggin that deals with a lot of teenage issues. Very good show.
From what I learned from those shows, and other real life shows, it's a way of distracting themselves from the emotional pain they are experiencing at the time. Cutters seem to wear clothes with tight sleeves all the time, even in summer, stuff that covers up the scars and has no chance of accidentally being rolled up. That is if they cut themselves on the arms. I've not heard of cutting anywhere other than the forearm, mainly because it's easily accesible I guess.
