I might be wrong, but what can be so depressing for someone at the age of nine?

yeah but who knew about slitting their wrists when they were 9 and actually had the nerve to do it?

im against it a little bit.
people who want to be labelled im against.
alot are perfectly healthy people and have nothing wrong with them, yet they cause themself damage whilst theres people in the world who have no legs, have cancer, have a limit to their life etc. and healthy people are doing that to themselves? i find it selfish

I don't know. Plenty of 9 year olds can be exposed to things like that. It depends on the enviroment that they're raised in, see? I first knew about it at the age of 10. But had the nerve to do it? That's hard. Maybe they heard that people do it to relieve stress? Or maybe they just heard that it's a way to get their mind off things? Really, all a 9 year old would need was something sharp and something to influence it.
But it must be sad to be brought to selfharming at the age of 9..

When i mean selfharming, i mean banging my heads againts wall, and punching myself/kicking myself, and pushing myself into doors... I didnt begin cutting at 9, i began cutting at 10. And plus my dad kinda triggered it even more, and before that, i dont know what triggered it i just.. did it i guess. :S

why do people always bring that up? "theres people with no money or no legs" etc. just because it looks like they have it bad, if you are perfectly healthy it doesn't mean your life is perfect. you could still get very badly emotionally/verbally abused.

When I was in York, my mates told me some people in their school use spoons o.o...

[sarey]

A what!? A spoon? Okay then.. confused.

You can sharpen spoons quite easily, all you need is a rough surface (a brick wall would work, so in a school it would be easy to sharpen a spoon). About the "people in other countries have it worse than you" arguments, in the defense of Westerners we don't experience that, and don't actually know how to acknowledge the difficulties that others go through. There's also the case of stress which is much more common in Western culture than anywhere else in the world, but nonetheless self harm is not going to help anyone, it's simply an illusion to cover the fact that people don't know how to handle their problems.
