Thats an amazing piece of writing.

It describes what me and a freind (someone on this forum)

Have almost done.

It doesn't look like your expressing your feelings, you used 'us' in the title, not 'me.

Um, I have a friend who self harms, depsite the fact she has a loving family, friends offering support, a roof over her head and clothes to wear, I give her support, but when she has no significant reason to be depressing, it's frustrating because what she is doing is selfish.

I have another friend who found out she is going to die young, has been physically suffering her whole life and yet she appreciates everything and the only time blood has poured from her wrists is when she has had tubes inserted into her veins to get medicine into her blood stream, and I don't know anyone else who has a smile on her face as often as her.

All I'm trying to say is, I don't like seeing people depressing themselves over trivial things, I don't know you or your state so I never claimed that you have nothing to depress over and wasn't trying to offend you or upset you, I'm talking about this whole 'emo, goth, punk' trend, it's ridiculous.

Well, what can I say, some people are really selfish. But their life is their decision, I know that is a really stupid and childish thing to say but I guess its true.

Plus, that article isnt about me, its about some people, about what they do and what they feel.
