Cutting yourself is what she means I think. No its not okay.
I do understand how you feel though. I understand how you hurt so much inside psychologically that physical pain is almost laughable in comparison. I can even understand how physical pain can make you feel better. But its still bad and wrong. For obvious reasons.
I understand why some people may want to commit suicide too, but they should NEVER actually go ahead and do it. I wanted to do it many times, God knows. But I stopped myself many times too.
There is an awesome quote from the last Rocky movie that helps me. "Its not about how hard you hit, its about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward"

Ah I see I thought maybe she meant female circumsision.
Well cutting yourself a little bit seems ok by me, as long as you don't do any real damage.
We all have our little weaknesses, some people drink, some eat candy, maybe cutting is yours.
What matters is why you are cutting yourself because I think it is not really a normal thing to do.
Maybe you don't like yourself, or maybe you do not feel anything when you don't feel pain, which could be a sign of depression.
Or maybe you like pain.
Or maybe you are looking for attention? If that is it, then you have to wonder why? Because when you are self confident you don't need attention.

Cutting is not okay in my opinion having suffered with it to the point it became an addiction and know having to fight that addiction a a day to day basis, it can lead from one small cut to cutting many times a day to the point where stiches are needed, and if you are cutting please i encourage you to get help from a trusted friends and if you want to talk to me more on this subject please feel free to message me

Don't cut yourself, if you desire happiness then consider this: "Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed . 4 Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart."(psalms 37:3-4) if you trust god and take delight in him, he will give you what you desire.

Cutting yourself is NOT okay. I dealt with it a little bit a few years ago and my best friend really dealt with it. She got addicted. I hope everything is okay with you and if you ever need to talk just message me. 
You are beautiful inside and out and there is no reason for you to harm your body. God wants you to stay safe and so do I. <3

A better question to ask is...
Is cutting a productive way to deal with emotional pain?
The answer is no.
There are healthier ways.
If we fall into the trap of is it right or wrong, the cutter may heap on more pain and cut more.
(While yes, it isn't right, this issue is about more than is it right or wrong. It's about finding healthier ways to deal with pain.)
There is only so much someone typing on a keyboard can do. So the best I can do is suggest finding a healthier way to deal with your pain.

If you feel that you need to cut yourself, then remember that Jesus was cut for you.
If you feel that you need to bruise yourself, remember Jesus bruises for you.
If you feel that you have pain you cannot control, remember Jesus feels that pain with you.
I have been in your shoes, now take a walk in mine:
I came to realise that nomatter what things I feel, that bring me down, that hurt me, that make me feel alone, that they are not what defines me.
What other people may do to hurt you, is in their minds. It is their words, or their attitude, their spite, their anger. Your mind does not need to have any part of theirs. You cut yourself when you could cut someone else. That says a lot about you. You will blame yourself and hurt yourself and feel pain for yourself instead of inflicting it on others. You have a good heart.
Take this piece of advice:
If someone hits you, because of what they think of you, then do they not only hit what they think of you? If they have the mindset to hit you, then surely you would not allow them to know you fully. SO they only hit an idea of you. So really when they hit you, they cannot touch you! They hit their own mind!
Do not ;et what other people do have effect like this on you. You are one of God's children just like they are. And they will learn the lessons that they need to learn, as will you. So please, throw your pain at God for He is willing ot bear it.
Your reaction is all that you have control over. Your own attitude, and your own mind. Make that mind one of peace. Even in the face of adversity.
You are worth Jesus death all on your own, for if there was nobody else on Earth, Jesus is unchanging. He still would have died for you.
Remember that He is forgiving, and loving. And that you have all the power to be whatever you need be. Nobody has the power to hurt you unless you allow it. Be loving and kind. Never lose that ounce of yourself that gives and enjoys giving. You have a lot to give the world.

Cutting is not okay, when wounds inside manifest at the outside by means of a knife is not something light, let God heal your inner wounds, for he loves you and cares for you, God wishes to heal people's inner scars, cutting takes those inner scars and shows them on the extior.
1 Peter 5:7
casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.

Your body is the temple of the HS. Desecrating that temple is wrong.
You are His child. It's not ok to hurt His child.
I have been there. Cutting is a huge temptation. Sometimes the physical pain hurts less than the emotional pain. Sometimes it's just more identifiable. Sometimes you hate yourself so much that to see yourself bleed is release. It keeps you going. It gives you a quick fix. But it is not good.

Cutting yourself is NOT okay. No matter what the reason is. There's always a risk of seriously, seriously hurting yourself. I remember seeing a girl on the bus years ago, and she had slice marks going all the way down her arm. That stuff really effects your future, she has to live with that forever. In the end it's not worth it. If you're having problems, you should seek a friend or vent online. Cutting yourself is a physcological thing, and it doesn't make things better at all. When you're done, the problem is still there, so you might as well just talk it out.
As for commiting suicide, or "accidentally" doing it, it says somewhere in the Bible that if you do you go to Hell. Sorry, I can't find the verse! I remember reading it though!

I hear a few witnesses in this thread; 'you will be condemned', and 'let me help you'
Trust me, God isn't the one saying 'deal with it, if you cut yourself you're going to hell'
The God I know understands your pain as if He were in your shoes. And He wants you to find a way of being happy. You are one of the ones God looks at , turns to everyone and says 'see what happens when you do not love this girl?'
Do not be afraid of punishment for what you do. Do not stop it because of fear. But try to stop it because it is the servant who gets trod on, and it is the servant who makes themselves last in the prescence of others.
You do not have to be ashamed of your weakness. Nor afraid of it.
Embrace this; humility and compassion.
All the knowledge, power and possession in the world could not make you happy.
I feel your pain. You say to yourself 'what pointless existence' and you are right.
The only thing worth doing is helping people JUST LIKE YOU.
It takes someone to know pain as you do, to truly be able to understand its cause and effect.
Be the change you wish to see in the world.
Qhen you realise how strong you actually are, you find the courage to stop and start helping others.
You are a child of God and nomatter what, you're heart will be one of compassion. A person who yields and becomes less than others of your own free will. The true heart of a servant.
This is where your very answer to your problem lies.
I understand your lifr must be hard. But in that harshness, you can find true understanding. The true mind of wanting to make it all better for someone else. Even if its just a few words on a forum.
Dont hesitate to message me if everything feels a little too much.
