本文探讨了几个年轻的成人小说，具有青少年谁参与自残行为，削减自己。这些小说出现在20世纪90年代初，与医学信仰同步，即这种行为与自杀倾向之间存在联系，或者它起源于切割者生活中的特定创伤。然而，近年来，切割者的表现形式发生了变化，特别是在科幻和幻想类型中，切割被用作对青少年周围社会的评论。这类小说避免了问题小说的形式，其目的是将青少年固定在其中心。
This article examines several young adult novels that feature adolescents who participate in self-injurious behavior by cutting themselves. These novels emerged in the early 1990s in step with medical beliefs that there was a link between the behavior and suicidal tendencies, or that it originated from particular traumas in cutters' lives. However, representations of cutters have changed in recent years, particularly within the science fiction and fantasy genres, where cutting is employed as a comment on the society surrounding the teen. Such novels avoid the problem novel format, where the purpose is to fix the teen at its center.
