Your opinion on self harmers?!


Question: Your opinion on self harmers?
Basically, I just want to get a rough idea of what the majority of the public think of the issue. People who cut for real issues, and people who do it for attention. Thanks guys-- please don't leave horrible comments to each other.. Your more than welcome to get your point across, but don't aim your points at anyone in particular please. Thanks. x

Answers:

i think it is very sad this can only be the only form of emotional outlet for some people
i wish more people were in a position to seek help

some obviously cant afford therapy or sometimes there is a long waiting list for therapy
depending on what country you are in

some ppl cant talk to family about there issues

there are many reasons why ppl self harm
i would never really call them attention seekers because we do not know the real reasons why ppl do this to them selves and its not just teens adults do this as well

best wishes



I wouldn't say that i supported it, but i belive people do it for valid reasons (such as myself)
I self-harm often to deal with issues at home and with friends, but i do not cut particularly deep.
I think that attention-seekers shouldn't do it, because it is addictive and not good for you. But it can be a coping mechanism, not a very good one, but i understand it.

Hmm... actually i kind of am pro-sh. I absolutely detest people who say cutters are emos or joke around saying, "if he doesn't go out with me i am so going to cut myself" they are ignorant. Emo is an offensive stereotype.



I cut because my dad's abusive and my mom won't do anything about it. I cut when I get frustrated or stressed, but I mostly do it when I'm upset. I hope that's a real enough issue. I do not do it for attention. I've been cutting for three years and only one person knows for real that I do it.
