Slitting Wrists

[Placeeee]

*slits wrists* I need attention llosls I'm depressed hehehz +*+*+*+*

Others have valid reasons though, don't they Jack? Me thinks you know what i mean?

Hmm i don't think that is quite right, not everyone who slits themselves do it for the attention or for pathetic reasons.
Sometimes it is uncontrolable.

BEFORE I POST, I HAVE NEVER DONE IT AND NEVER WILL.

I see people in my school cutting themselfs with pencil sharpner blades.

I dont have anything against anyone who does it.. But i don't know why anyone would want to do it.. if anyone could explain that ;p?

Never seen anyone slit there wrists and I dont want to. No one at skool does because they know theyd be talked about a lot. I still dont see why people do it. If youre depressed I dont see how hurting yourself makes you feel better because then you have a physical wound.
Sorry I dont understand it but I havent been that annoyed with myself to cut myself, not even when my brother died.

They can't afford knives. They're too poor.

haha. That made me laugh.

I can't stand people that slit their wrists. No time for them.

Immature, Selfish, babyish, simple minded children.

"omg i got shouted at at school today. I'll go scratch half a milimetre of skin of my wrist and see how much of peoples time i can waste and how much attention i can get"

If you're going to kill yourself, hurry up and do it. Don't spend time whinging and moaning. There are plenty of other children out there that would die for what some stupid attention seekers have.

My advice: You wanna be cool? Follow the road instead of crossing it.

Also, you rarely die from slitting your wrists anyway. It's like 1 in 60. I would suggest using maybe cyanide?

The kids below really have to work for their lives. Do you see them collapsing on the floor, taking a knife and hacking at their hands? I don't..

Thanks -.-

People who do that, I think they are ******ed (not trying to offend anyone). Honestly they are. Like who would do that to themselves? Are they showing off that they're "emo" or something? Or are they doing that because they're sad or bullied? =\ Well slitting your wrist isn't the solution people!

Looked at it for 15 mins. I understand what happens etc, just not why people do it. I know it says why people do it but I cant get into the frame of mind that someone would endanger their life to seek attention.
I know its what people do, eg. going at 130mph on a main road to show off then killing yourself and 2 other people.

I'm a SI. I cut myself, I have tried elastic bands, icecubes, writing, talking, so many things. I have two therapists and a psyciatrist, one therapist seems to be working, I suggest that.
I hate it how people actually do it in school and then show off about it! It's just wrong! It isn't cool and it never should be. I hate it when people don't understand.
I have some issues, I have lupus and a lot of family problems, I will never change because this is how I am, people don't really understand. SI doens't mean the person is suicidal- it means quite the opposite. I however was suicidal and tried to kill myself 26 times from the end of year 8 to the start of year 9.

Like the page said, people who SI do the complete opposite of attetion seeking. I cant get into my mind either on what i do to myself, or what my friends with SI do to themselfs, but i have too.
Theirs many reasons why people abuse their bodies ie:
- Too be punished
- Too release their feelings on themselfs because they are responsable
- Its addictive
- They'd rather focus on physical pain than mental/emotional pain...
- Someones upset you (family members, close friends)
- You want to see blood/pain..
Theirs loads of reasons why.

Any addiction can be overcome, and any problem can be blocked.
