Self Harm

[JACKTARD]

I read that 10% of teenagers have self harmed in the past which I thought was a bit odd.

Have you ever self harmed? Votes are private as usual.

[j0rd]

I havnt, wouldnt want to either..

[Special]

no - don't really see the point because you will only regret it later

[Nemo]

ive like punched a wall before out of anger, but not exactly self-harm. Dont see the point if you're upset, in making yourself more upset.

[chantellehugs]

The only time I've been frustrated to the point where I've harmed myself is when I can't do something. I'll sit there for ages just thinking about how hard it is and why I can't do it. And then of course because I'm worked up I can't figure it out. And I tend to dig my nails into my arm. But I've learnt to control my frustration now, I just forget what I'm trying to do and go do something I enjoy. And then when I'm calm I can usually do what I wanted to do.
I've never actually harmed to make myself draw blood though.

[Alexx..]

I don't see how people could self harm, it hurts like **** when i cut my self accidentally! The worst i've done when angry/sad is punch a wall a few times.

[Minstrels]

Nope, never thought of it either.

[myke]

nope im too good to waste

[Casanova]

No. It would just inconvenience me. I mean, then I couldn't wear anything short sleeved?

[GoldenMerc]

I punch walls but never self harmed just out of it. Although my best friends mate used to self harm but od'ing and slitting so its a bit mm

[immense]

yeah lol how embarrassing

[Casanova]

Can you imagine if you got salt or lemon in it? talk about stinging!

[immense]

btw i didnt slit myself or anything LOL i was like 13 and fuming at my dad

cant even remember why now, only once

[Casanova]

I remember when i was like thirteen I tried running away. Forgetting my dad can run like a sprinter. It was like 3am and he ran after me, picked me up and carried me home.

In relation to the thead, I do not self harm and never would.

[Inseriousity.]

why did that surprise you? its only 10% that's quite small :P
I've never self harmed but I had a friend who used to, I think she's okay now after her diagnosis (she had dyslexia)

[Jorc]

I personally never have. Thankfully :D haha but life is stressful for everyone, so hopefully people learn from it.

[buttons]

yeh course
it was the craze at school
except everyone did it where it didn't hurt like the upper arm idk


anyway one day when i was 12 (fave year ever first cig, first joint omg so proud of myself prob had my first blue wkd n'all hardcore) we were going to a school disco n my mate took the blade out a sharpener n told me to put my arm out n she slit my arm i **** you not:S
not right at my wrist but just up a bit. n i liked it. funny because i was actually a chav /stereotype. apparently everyone did it so i thought i would aswell when i got annoyed. no1 actually did it to harm themself just for attention but then someone did it right at her wrist though it was so ******* disgusting n we disowned her & the school ended up checking everyone for cuts. i can't actually take people who do it seriously now...


inb4 "your parents don't love you" obviously i had the best childhood ever i am sane now

[Jordy]

I've done it to stay awake in lessons lmao but that was because I needed the pain to wake up not because I was upset or anything lol.

[Alkaz]

I don't see how people could self harm
It does but doesn't hurt like that, normally people are hurting so bad inside and frustrated it's the only way to relieve the tension inside them.

OT: I've not self harmed like conventional cutting but other ways of self harm mainly to do with frustration I have yeh.

[FlyingJesus]

I've never self harmed but I had a friend who used to, I think she's okay now after her diagnosis (she had dyslexia)

WHAT


my mate took the blade out a sharpener

We used to do that and jam it into a pen (without the actual ink bit in it obv) to make PEN KNIVES LOL HOW COOL GET IT

On topic yeah once when I was 14 because I wanted to dump my gf and thought if I did that I could tell her it was her fault for some reason, pretty good excuse I think.

[Dinosaurawrr]

yeah once, because i was so angry at something.
and it dont hurt if your really angry I was so angry I didnt feel the pain.

id never do it again.

[,Lexiilu]

no i have not, one of my best friends has since january though.
she has a serious problem. dno if she's stopped.

[Phil]

I can't imagine myself being so upset that self harm would be on option.

[Samantha.]

I have never self harmed and I wouldnt either!

[Gibs960]

Yeah, only recently though when I get annoyed, like scratchin ma skin and stuff :(

[Grippz]

Never, I don't understand how things could possibly get that bad...

[Glen Coco]

I have done for a couple of years down. Not cutting myself but scratching.
There's more behind it then people make out but I haven't done it alot recently.

[Keri?!]

I have done in the past but I was going through a tough time and didn't know how to take my anger out or just get my feelings out.
If I could go back in time I wouldn't have done it but the past is the past and you can't change it ;p

[Apolva]

Nope, surely injuring yourself would make you more depressed...

[K-Cat]

I have. Long story. I don't think I should go into detail about it though. So, I'll leave it at that.:@

[wiktoria]

no I don't see whats the point. When I'm angry i just slam the door woo

[Muct]

I've never actually slit my wrists or stuff like that but I have done some pretty crazy harmful things to myself before ^_^
