i know what you mean. i'm a self harmer and i hate it. i absolutely hate it. people don't even know the whole story, and yet they make fun. half the time it's out of ignorance, they think that everyone does it for attention, just because about 1% does. as far as i'm concerned, people should NEVER judge unless they've been in the situation themselves, and even then, they should consider the person's feelings.

people don't accept and are afraid of what they don't understand. someone who's never had severe problems, clinical depression, or been hurt by a label doesn't understand what it's like to go through this kind of pain-they see it as an act. They are not willing to see it for what it really is. So they think they're "discouraging" "strange" behavior when they're making it worse.

i agree, i mean i do not like the fact that people self harm but obvously to do this they have enough going on in their lifes without having to deal with silly immature people name calling, they should be supportive towards selfharmers. its a sad situation really, it gets me upset how people can be so mean to others!

I agree with you. People who are rude to these people are very cold-hearted and do not understand the others' situations.

Hi Haley, the sad fact is that u expect people 2 act their age and they just don't. They think they are making it better it's not.

People make fun of what they fear and don't understand. For some reason making fun of it seems to give them a sense of power over what ever it is. When other's make fun of people it's also because they have low self esteem and it makes them feel better about them selfs if they feel that they are better than someone else, smarter, better looking, and any other form of superiority.

I just think they do not understand - when you have someone close to you who does these things or has a disorder, it brings it closer to home for you. That's not an excuse though - noone should ever be making fun of conditions they do not understand -they are only showing their ignorance. hang in there.

Because they don't understand. Some people
put others down because they don't like who they are and it makes them feel better about themselves. I always liked this saying, "take the
rock out of your own eye, before trying to take the stone out of one some else."

People like that think that self harming isn't real, like when emo kids do it to get attention. They think this because people who actually suffer from self harming wouldn't discuss it with others because it's a very personal thing. People just don't understand how much it can affect someone's life or the people they're close to.
