it's not
cutting is some sort of brownie badge now
"I cope with being sad by cutting myself, because you aren't truely sad if you just cry"

come on, you know it's for a brownie badge, they don't do anything like cut where you won't see it, they cut right on their wrist (or fake cut, that's very easy) so you can see it


People do cut where you dont see it, and thats why you dont know about it. because you can't see it

I made a thread about this a long time ago. This trend of fake-cutting is causing a lot of harm to people who actually are in pain and cut themselves to relieve it. They don't show it, but most of the time it gets discovered (in PE classes or something like that), and then people start bashing them for being 'emo' or attention seakers or some other word they don't know the meaning of. You can blame it on fake cutters that people with real emotional problems get bullied, but it's really just our perception. People see one fake cutter and then think that all cutters are fake. Talk about stereotypes.

it's idiotic to say ur selfish, it doesn't help, not at all, what helps is to hear from people u care about that they love you, hearing it every day during that period of depression. Just knowing that thse ppl are there for u is a big help to, talking about it etc, understandning isn't allways sescasary, even if u want the ppl to understand then. My mum knew I was depressed but I didn't want her to know and she didn't point it out she was just there for me and said I was beautedull and that she loved me, she said that every day, that helped, I stil cried and all, but it helped

people basically have the right to do whatever they want....And that would be perfect for the ones with no conscience at all....People who cut have their reasons and we aren't the ones to discuss about them cuz no one can tell what's going on in another person's head....you can't be pro or contra these things cuz you never know what could happen to you one day....

I really wanted to hurt myself once. I was completely stressed out, had a load of things to do and I had this secret that I couldn't tell my family. I didn't do anything though. And another time I had an absolutely shitty day and my brother said something horrible to me when he got home. I just started crying and when I was making tea later, I started thinking that the knife looked way too inviting. Then last weekend, a glass I had in my room broke and I had a shard of glass in my hand. It cut my hand a couple of times, then I sorta did it on purpose. I didn't wann hurt myself so I have no idea why I did it. I wish I hadn't because it stung like hell and I had an exam the next day. Good job I'm not a lefty.

I don't think it's ok, I think they need help and need someone to love them and show them life is worth living, even if it doesnt seem that way now. That doesnt make them selfish.

Your right it doesnt to those people. But what about people who actually have family who love them and they still take their own lives? I might see them as selfish cause ive been taught the body is a temple givin to you and stuff o_o

yeah
if they have loved ones then it isn't selfish
maybe the misery doesn't balance out with the love recieved

if they kill themselves even if they recieve enough love, and have a family (not just blood family) willing to help....but they don't allow the help then they are selfish

I think a lot of depressed people (notice I didn't say all) just don't realize that there are people who care about them..cuz my therapist was telling me that a lot of times when people are suffering from depression, they tend to isolate people and then feel lonely..that's what I did at least..not saying that all depressed people do that but it's just another perspective..
