Why the hell would you self mutilate?

[Morons]

It serves no purpose, you just make things worse for yourself.

[Guest]

It can make people feel better though. I don't think you can really understand it until you've experienced it.

[Pearson]

More importantly what the hell IS self mutilate?

[Luke]

It's short for "being a weirdo".

[Lindsay]

thats a fairly insensitive post.

[Luke]

But funny nonetheless :)

[Lindsay]

not really..

[Luke]

Lighten up a bit.

It's a joke. Self harming is pointless. End of story really.

If you find it offensive or whatever, report me. There is a little button which is in the shape of a road sign. Click that and report me to Admin or whatever.

[Lindsay]

hah, im not mad or anything. I just don't really like it when people who most likely don't have any experiance with self injury come on here and rag on it when its not really something to joke about.

[Luke]

I don't have any experience with self injury because i'm not that stupid and I choose not to.

[Lindsay]

all i'm saying is there are those "emo's" out there who self mutilate for attention, and then there are some really sad people who are actually suffering. Just because you don't do it and don't understand it doesen't really give you the right to put others down because of it.

[Luke]

No, it doesn't give me a right. But, I do have a right to have an opinion. My opinion is, is that it's sad and pathetic.

[Lindsay]

yup. you're entitled to your opinion and i'm entitled to mine.

[0neill911]

what is this thread about?

[Sweet_Cherry]

Self cutters
people could self harm themselves because they hate themselves or are trying to committ suicide by cutting down their veins. Well other than attention seeking.

[0neill911]

oh my sister is a cutter and i used to be sucidal when i was bullied

[Pearson]

O people that harm them selves. There people that dont get enough attention, weak minded individuals that instead of getting up and doing something about. i.e trying to be more friendly and fitting in with a crowd they cut them selves so people will feel sorry for them. well booo hooo I wont.

[-Snake-]

As some body who has manic depression and self harms Your views are way off perason, I get on with everybody I get invited clubbing at least 3 or 4 times a week I have a good group of friends,

Depression is not weak minded people who want attention, its people who have chemical in-balances.

exactly.

[lana loo]

i couldnt have put it better myself Greg

people have their opinions on this topic, it is a very sensative topic and what most people dont understand about it is that NOT EVERYONE does it for attention. yeah there are some real attention seekers out there, but generally it is to releive themselves if they are not totally proud of the way they are. or are going through real hard times at home/socialy/mentally

as a person who has experienced depression and self-harm, i understand peoples veiws and are very much aware of opinions.

and all i can say to peoples opinions is ... dont be prejudice about the subject. get some understanding on it first, then come back with appropriate veiws that you can back up

lol soz, rant over ...... :D

[0neill911]

yay go greg

[Pearson]

Blame it on a chemical imbalance this that an the other, at the end of the day if you have a strong mind you can deal with it. Everyone gets upset now and again, some people put some music on, some people try to cut there arm off.....il let you decide witch ones better.

[Bob!]

A lot put music on, AND try to cut their arm off :P

BUt yeah there are some who dont just do it for attention, and have genuine reasons for feeling bad or whatever, but I would never reccomend it as a way to deal with things, bringing harm unto ones self is never the best way, especially if the person is dealing with enough harm at the time, bringing more just adds to it.

[Tommeh!!!]

wow, im not gonna get in a pissy about this cos theres no need, but im pretty shocked with how narrow minded some of you lot are. Ive had depression since i was about 5, ive got a small number of disoders and psychological issues, ive been in councelling for around 7 years now and for the past 6 years ive been a self harmer. thankfully i can say i dont do it anymore. but you guys who think its stupid need to understand that we know it is stupid, but its a disorder/sickness/addiction...and thats not my own words, medically it IS clasified as an addiction in some instances.

now that im out of it ill try and break it down for you:
-basically you feel shit (and saying you go and listen to music or whatnot means nothing, sometimes people who cut feel alot worse at the time than you may have ever felt)
- in my persoanl experience you blame yourself for how you feel (my issues) and you feel resentment towards yourself and mayeb the need to punish yourself.
- so lets say for the first time you hurt yourself in some way...not cutting especially ...but it usually ends up that way beacuse you feel the need to do more and more damage each time.
-when you actually DO hurt yourself, it actually makes you feel better...its a massive release and you get an adrenaline rush.
-you realise later that its not so good...and it makes you feel shit cause you have there ridiculous cuts on you...meaning you start to feel shit again.
-you get into a cycle of feeling shit and cutting...and it gets worse and worse...beacuse for some reason you develop more of a threshold to the pain.
-sadly you hate it but it doesnt take alot to get addicted to that release from alot of depression....its really shit situation to be in.

i was tryin to stop from the day i started...but you have no idea how hard it is to actually stop. its easy to say...but self harm is something you cant really understand unless you have experienced it.

but seriously guys...theres no need for the nasty replies, name calling and smart ass comments. its not soemthing people are proud of...and if they are and go about showing off their scars...then yeah they ARE twats who deserve a good kicking...but please consider that there are some, like me and Lindsay for 2 fine examples, who actually medically have this as a problem, and Greg too for that matter. its bad enought doing it without people looking down their nose at you.

try and get your head round it please. im not sure i can really explain it better than that.

[God.]

Claps

What a brilliant post.

Couldn't agree more.

[Tommeh!!!]

cheers...i like to get a level of understanding...to try and seperate the troubled people from the attention seeking pricks.

[God.]

and you're doing a great job.

[lana loo]

congratulation to Tommeh! i couldnt have put it better myself huni, i tried to inform the other members on the subject, but as it looks i failed to lol

i agree with you 100% there darlin, every word. its just narrow-minded and iggnorant ppl on here who fail to even try to understand peoples problems and issues and how they deal with them (NO OFFENCE TO ANYONE ON HERE)

everyone deals with siutation, no matter how big or small they are, in different ways, and self-harm is the last resort i would say. but circumstances arrise and many feel that there is no other way. as a result they self-harm.

im new on this site yeah, but i know for a fact that sly digs about the matter arent going to help it. so please keep them out as many people may be deeply offended.

once again, well done Tommeh :D

[Tommeh!!!]

why thankya m;dar. also welcome to the site :)

[lana loo]

your welcome huni, and awww thanks ya very much :D

[Pearson]

Claps

What a brilliant post.

Couldn't agree more.

How would you know if thats a brillaint post, have you ever suffered from this?

And im shocked at how many people claim to do this, I would never even consider this. Personally I think its becoming something of a trend, im not saying there arent genuine cutters out there with disorders and what not. But as I said earlier there'l just be a lot of people after attention, and what better way then to cut yourself.

Ps. That was not aimed at anyone in particular so dont get offended, just my view.

[God.]

How would you know if thats a brillaint post, have you ever suffered from this?

Yes. And?

[lana loo]

oh my god!! are you acctually claiming that haveing the mental illness, depression, is a trend!?!? many people suffer from it. many people suffer from other illnesses and diseases, but does that make them a trend!

i agreed with you earlier, that in some cases it is for attention, but please dotn for a second think that its 'just a trend' because this 'trend' is life threatening and is killing many children, teenagers and adults all the time

cutters are in aid of help, and not to be called followers. so please keep the sly digs out. it doesnt help! lol

[Tommeh!!!]

in a way though hes right there are ALOT of people that do it for a trend, but what you realise is pople like that will scratch themselves...some real self harmers only scratch themselves too, but the posers will only do that...real cutters tend to go overboard...ive got scars that ive got to put up with for the rest of my life now...and im already fucked off with them. its just a reminder. and Pearson...just because you have never even considered it means that its that outragious, it just shows you have mental stability, i have something called Bipolar Disorder which means i cant flatline on my moods, im either really happy, really angry or really sad....it totally sucks which is why i got down enough to do this to myself. dont think that everyones as secure as you, i envy you for not having done this, cos although i dont do it...sometimes i feel like it, but as a recovering drug addict would need to do, bite the lip and ride the storm.

[Pearson]

Yes. And?

I dont see how you can say it was a brilliant post if you havent self mutilated before

Your from barnsley so il let you off on not being able to read properly but I said in my post people cutting them selves has become something of a trend, not mental illness, depression and disease is a trend. All im saying is there are people that dont suffer from things just mentioned and still cut them selves for attention, and there was no digs in there, at all.

[Pearson]

in a way though hes right there are ALOT of people that do it for a trend, but what you realise is pople like that will scratch themselves...some real self harmers only scratch themselves too, but the posers will only do that...real cutters tend to go overboard...ive got scars that ive got to put up with for the rest of my life now...and im already f*cked off with them. its just a reminder. and Pearson...just because you have never even considered it means that its that outragious, it just shows you have mental stability, i have something called Bipolar Disorder which means i cant flatline on my moods, im either really happy, really angry or really sad....it totally sucks which is why i got down enough to do this to myself. dont think that everyones as secure as you, i envy you for not having done this, cos although i dont do it...sometimes i feel like it, but as a recovering drug addict would need to do, bite the lip and ride the storm.

No, respect Tommeh, what you have said has changed my opinion on people who have it are just weak minded, and I dont doubt for a second that what your saying is true. Im sure though, like I have said, some people dont have Bipolar Disorder and other such things and cut them-selves are doing it for attention, I'd consider that weak minded and stupid.

[God.]

I dont see how you can say it was a brilliant post if you havent self mutilated before

Why don't you read it again and realise it was the answer to your question fool.

[Pearson]

yes and, doesnt answer the questions!!!!!!!!!!!! it answers one!

How would you know if thats a brilliant post? Is left unanswerd

Looking to my left, I see the scars of an internal war.

The scarred on the left, the perpetrator on the right.

Hey, look what I just made up.

It's not that hard to work out.

[Pearson]

Loads of people in this thread say they self harm, I dont belive all of you have problems.

[Tommeh!!!]

yeah no worries, it doesnt anger me or anything i just wanna clear the name for us who cant really help it all too well from the very arseholes of whom we speak that do this kinda shit because its all part of the 'misunderstood teenager' thing.

[lana loo]

i swear to god, someone else use the fact that im from Barnsley against me again!!....

listen, im not here to argue, im here to help. i have more experience about this matter that you ever will have darlin! i dont apppreciate prejudice of any sort of a subject as sensative as this. think what ever you want on this subject yeah, but u sayin that some serious cutters are just goin along with a trend is not helpin them! it is possible that many people do have problems yano

[Tommeh!!!]

Loads of people in this thread say they self harm, I dont belive all of you have problems.
tell you what though, youd be suprised.

[God.]

Loads of people in this thread say they self harm, I dont belive all of you have problems.

You seem to be mistaking me for someone who values your opinion.

I did self-harm, and I had a problem.

I don't have either anymore thank you.

[Tommeh!!!]

hang on now felers, were all gettin a bit confubbled, Pearson was saying that hes kinda gettin it now, which is all we can expect of him, hes better informed now, so i guess theres no need for conflict! :)

[lana loo]

haha im not conflicting at all. i just hate it when ppl use the place where i live against me! i have experience and wisdom and i give really good advise, so what does tht got to do with where i live?


just got me a bit mad thts all lol :)

[Tommeh!!!]

hehe dont worry, i get it all the time being an 'Essex lad'....which isnt strictly true... :P just ignore it.

[lana loo]

ive been on the site for 2 days, and ive been told im thick about 7/8 times because im from Barnlsey. lol it just gets me a bit fumed lol

[Pearson]

ive been on the site for 2 days, and ive been told im thick about 7/8 times because im from Barnlsey. lol it just gets me a bit fumed lol

This site is largely sheffield based, were neighbouring cities, well your pratically just a village but whatever, theres going to be rivalry lol.

And TBG I couldnt care if you dont value my opinion, infact I dont really care at all. So next time you want to get at me you'l have to try a bit harder.

And yes, I am very, very suprised. In my whole life I dont think iv ever met anyone thats self harmed. All seems a bit strange, be interesting to find out how many teenagers do this sort of thing. And yes cheers Tommeh, I am more aware.

[-Snake-]

Pearson you say you've never met anybody who self harmed, you know me but people dont run around with a razor slashing there arms infront of ya. I know a girl who brags about look at all my scars this one was wen i used a broken glass bottle, it does me head in why on earth would you be proud of this, I have a similar bipolar condition called manic depression I am currently in conciling for it.

Self harm I Will agree some people use to get the whole "misunderstood teen" like the girl i mention (no names, she'd kill me) but some like tom have had it a while and beat it, I currently am trying to stop but when youve had a shitty day and nothing makes you feel better, everything and anything thats bad that ever happend feels like its your fault and i duno sometimes i feel relief when I cut as if I deserved it but after you feel stupid but as tom sed makes things even worst.

[Tommeh!!!]

from my experience alot of people i know do it and some are even the last people id expect to do it...some people really do have a deep rooted issue but they dont show it...quite sad rly...and obviously when i was out and about with the all the psychiatrists and shit...i met alot of people....alot of tem were really really bad
like...in need of stitches and shit...and some would even cut stiches open again.....that makes me cringe...poor sods. :(

lana, just tell them how it is :D give em hell :P

[lana loo]

oh my dear god, those poor people :(

and ohhhhh dont you worry about it huni, im guna give them hell if they mention it again :D

[Touch It]

*Mentions it again*

[lana loo]

tut tut tut

*starts givin them hell*

[Luke]

Callum - no way did you self harm. Not you.

I find that hard to believe because you don't seem the type (if there is a type)

[Tommeh!!!]

if you knew me in person you wouldnt think im the type mate...thats the thing, alot of people you wouldnt expect to.

[me1]

been there. dun that. stupid thing to do.
better than some people tho.
most people would throw up wif sum of the things that sum1 i know has done. its really twisted.

[Troy Morton]

Hi guys,


As a psychiatrist, I commonly deal with people who deliberately inflict injuries upon their own body. But why do people ‘self-mutilate’ also known self-harming (SC)?


In short, a person who engages in self-harm will usually have specific aspects of behavior. The injury they impose on themselves is not necessarily with the intention of ending their life, but usually aimed at relieving otherwise unbearable emotions sensations of unreality and numbness, or for other reasons.


The person who self-harms may have symptoms of borderline personality disorder. The act of harming oneself may be associated with mental illness’ and can sometimes manifest as a result of a history of trauma and abuse, with eating disorders, or with mental traits such as perfectionism.


Motives for self-harm are often personal, often do not fit into medicalised models of behavior and may seem incomprehensible to others. There are many people who cannot understand why a person would do such things to themselves. They will often delineatethe act as ‘stupid’ and describe the person who self-harms in much the same light. However, there is obviously more to the story. Everyone deals with problems differently, and many have problems that others may never experience.


Although this is a very brief explanation to why some people inflict deliberate injuries upon themselves, it gives you guys a better understanding of this behavioral abnormality. Perhaps it might even interest you to find more information on the issue…

[me1]

it could also be for reasons such as for attention and the need to feel loved and that people around you are there for you, more so than if you didnt do it.

[Troy Morton]

A common misconception of self-harm is that it is an attention seeking behavior. In truth, many people who self-harm are very self-conscious of their wounds and scars and go to great lengths to conceal their behavior from others. They may offer alternate explanations for their injuries or conceal their scars with clothing.

[me1]

yer true but i would think that some people still do it for attention.

p.s feel free t correct me, ur the shrink :P

[Troy Morton]

However, there are some instances where a person will self-harm as a means of communicating distress to others. This motivation is sometimes dismissed as ‘attention seeking’ and has often been seen as the primary motivation. Although, for many, the act of self-harm fulfils a purpose in itself and is not a means of communicating with or influencing others. Many who self-injure keep their injuries secret, while those who do disclose their injuries may be embarrassed and ashamed of their actions.

Moreover, the inflictor may have a problem in which they want to make known to a frond or loved one but are unable to bring themselves to verbally voicing what is troubling them, instead, they try and express them by self-harming. People mat term this kind of behavior that is less obvious to its purpose as ‘a cry for help’.

[Troy Morton]

In a way, you are correct. :)

[Troy Morton]

You say you would ‘like’ to think people self-harm as a means of attention… what do you mean by this exactly?

[me1]

i didnt say like? :S

[Troy Morton]

Sorry… now you’ve corrected me :P

[me1]

lol haha np, just simply misread :P. but i do like ur opinions on the whole issue.

[Troy Morton]

:) I see that you’re senior member to this weblog… how long have you been contributing?

[Bob!]

Its a forum, and he's a standard member.

But does post good so :)

[me1]

why thanks, i fort all my stuff has been rubbish really. ive been on here for a while but only started properly posting a week or so ago.

[same_damn_thing]

A lot of people self mutilate for different reasons. It's a coping mechanism. Lately it's become more of a trend and people do it more and more now just to get attention, which is actually a little pathetic if you ask me. Less people actually do it and try to hide it because they're ashamed of it. Self mutilation is basically cutting yourself, burning yourself, hitting yourself, etc. People who do it aren't stupid, it's just the action they did was stupid.

[Dash]

I found it gave me a reason to be depressed. Some excuse to be emotional. If my depression's validity was in question, I could just take off my shirt and see the scars, and feel like I had every reason to be suffering.

[Tommeh!!!]

uhm...so you made yourself depressed by cutting? thats really fucking stupid. or are you one of these 'no one understands me' types who does it cause they think they are different and unique? its people like you that piss me off, people in the world have real problems with depression and then theres people like you that are so pathetic that they do it out of pure pretentiousness.

[Lambo]

BOOM! Headshot.

[Tommeh!!!]

BOOM! Headshot.

hehe, i take it you have my back there?

[BleedBlack]

I don't think you can really understand it until you've experienced it.

i agree.

[Lambo]

Why WOULD you experience it? That's the question.

[Lindsay]

oh honestly are we still on about this?

[Tommeh!!!]

sadly yeah, some pretentious bellend bumped it.

[x.Sean.x]

It serves no purpose, you just make things worse for yourself.

not exactly when you do that to yourself some people get a sence of good feeling, Its like taking a drug it makes you feel like nothing is wrong for a bit. I know this because like 3 of my friends used to cut. I dont agree with it but what can you do. Im wanting to be a psychitrist for self mutilation.

Also theres a good book about it its a fiction book. its called "cut" its really good. im not much of a reader but i think its good.

[blazeteendanny]

*sigh* im going to put this simply. there are those who hurt themselves as an addiction, there are those who do it for fun, and those illness/disorder, but some people just become depressed (me) and have to deal with it in a way that that they dont hurt anyone or anything else so taking it out on themselves is the only way to go i've been in a depressive slump for hell knows how long and i've had cuts on my arm that are at least 3-7 inches long, and when people notice they act like they dont or pretend to worry, as if they think im doing it for attention. if you think its funny, or something to take the piss out of go ahead. the people that do just need to grow up or drop dead.

[CraigYohn!]

[Tami]

whoa,, when this thread strted i was surprised how niave (i cant spell) some people are. i think that it is surprisg how many people have or are suffering form mental illness or a like illness in the last few years. people who have never experienced this illness can never imagen how hard it is to get through this illness. i have depression and tbh i cant see it ever ending. just dont be so harsh on the people that have these illnesses and cant help it

[Tami]

O_o

[CraigYohn!]

Its not an illness, its a feeling.

[Tami]

depession is an ilness!!

[Chris]

Depression can be both, you can feel depressed without actually being ill. Its only if you get so depressed that your body stops producing a certain hormone* that it is classed as an illness. Otherwise its just basically "feeling sorry for yourself".

*I've forgotten the name of the hormone, i'll try to remember it.

[Tami]

ok :)

[~Wayne~]

Problem with 'depression' is that it seems to be some sort of fad between teenagers

[Tami]

coz depression is so great, we love waking up and taking pills so that you dont get low again, OF COUrse we want depression

[Brianna.]

I don't agree with giving people meds for depression. It fucks with your hormones...and it's just not natural. If you're older...like...late 20's, when your body still isn't developing, then yeah...fine. Not as a teen, though.

A lot of the time they just give out placibo pills. The pacient takes them, and it's all mental.

Depression pills mess with your brain, your liver, and it reinforces to the person on the pills that they NEED that medication to feel better. There are a million other ways to deal with depression. Intervention, changes of lifestyle...You don't need pills.

[Tami]

for some people there ae other ways depends on the situation, have u ever felt so low that u cant even talk, get out of bed, eat basic stuff like that?

[Brianna.]

It happens. People deal with that shit everyday. You don't need to become chemically dependent on this shit to make yourself feel better. In extream situations with older people, then yeah. Fine. Take the pills.

If you're still developing, then hell no.

[Tami]

well i had no choice!! u dont know my circumstances, so untill u know u can never judge wether sum1 needs em or not

[Brianna.]

Jesus. Calm down. I don't give a shit if you took the pills...not my problem.

I'm just stating my opinion on it. Take it or leave it.


...and you always have a choice in everything.

[Tami]

yer a coice between life and death?

[Brianna.]

Oh please.

[Tami]

o please what

[Brianna.]

Nothing. Forget it.

[Tami]

ok w/e

[PrincessAlice]

your such a drama queen x.emo.beads.x she wasn't being mean to you so don't have a go at her

[Tami]

i know i am, and i love it

[PrincessAlice]

you know what i don't have time for scum like you! you are a waste of time your mainly on here to insult people or wind them up

[Tami]

yep sounds just like me, im nice to people i like, and not to the people i dont like.... Fullstop

[Brianna.]

Funny how that works two ways, huh.

[PrincessAlice]

i know that was harsh but i really am sick of you

[Tami]

good, i aim to please

[PrincessAlice]

i'm sure :mad:

[Tami]

good, at least i made that clear

[PrincessAlice]

good now piss off

yes yes i know i'm harsh but she has really driven me up the wall i don't think even pearson managed to do that

[Tami]

yay im the first now stay up that wall and look down ur nose at me!

[PrincessAlice]

why am i looking down my nose at you? you don't know me so how can you say i'm looking down my nose at you

[Tami]

i never said you were i ment y dont you seen as every one else is

[PrincessAlice]

you really don't make sense you know that

[Tami]

yep

[PrincessAlice]

ok good you know that

[Tami]

i know what i need to

[PrincessAlice]

as i said before in another thread that is nice to know GO AWAY

[Tami]

why should i

[PrincessAlice]

because you are THE most annoying person i've ever had to deal with

[Tami]

dont deal with me then just ignor me

[PrincessAlice]

do you really think i want to deal with you?! you started all this when you said i was stalking you

[Tami]

it was a joke

[PrincessAlice]

not a funny one then

[Tami]

not really

[Darts]

Why would it be funny if someone was stalking you????

Well actually it could be funny with a couple of sharp objects etc.

[CraigYohn!]

Thank god for twats ruining threads, it was already ruined anyway....but still

[Tami]

yes im a twat :)

[PrincessAlice]

i know

[Tami]

im proud of that fact

[Guest]

ok why was this whole page about nothing?self mutilating is a very importent concept!

[LilySusan]

If youve never felt the need to do it. Or never felt as desperate to do it. I dont think you understand until you have gone through it.
The most i can offer you in an answer is, it makes me feel better. I like to be in control on my own pain, to see the blood run down my arm gives me satisfaction. Its not healthy and it fucks you up. But i dont care anymore, ive tried to sort myself out but it never happens.
Most ppl dont do it for attention btw, ppl that purposely show it off are the attention seekers, ppl that cover it up or divert from conversation are the ones you should look out for. Believe me.
DOnt put these people down, its not their fault, its their way of coping. Instead of talking shit about it, do something construcuve and help these poeple out.

[Tommeh!!!]

hey lilysusan, i wouldnt waste your time with this thread, its an oldie that was argued on ages ago and it all settled down, pretty much everything to be said on the subject was said. now its just where people have posted to get reactions out of others...and its not worth posting anything serious...as its not the matter at hand anymore....people should just let this thread die and become an archive.

[crystal.k]

i self mutilate for reliefe and it also distracts me from how bad i'm feeling

the phisical pain covers up the emotional pain

[Tommeh!!!]

and thats a perfectly good reason to do it! but like i say, this thread has kinda died and its not really visited much as people have been idiots on it. so i wouldnt waste your time :)

[Peblu]

This topic will live.

Self-mutilation, a good thing?

[Tommeh!!!]

hehe fair enough, ill put my 2 cents in.

not a good thing by far, but for some a necessity for dealing wihth issues...i knwo from experience...im beyond that now as ive stopped and am coping ok...but i sympathise those who havent yet got out of the cycle...its sad really :(

[Shane]

Around half of the Teenagers in the Uk Self Harm in one way or another, it's all to do with endorphines for soem kids, for others there are serious underlying issues.

This is a serious topic and something I really would like us to take seriously here at Teen Forums, that even means you peblu.

If anyone needs advice with regards to self abuse then be sensible, it's a serious matter for quite alot of people and being a prat could make things worse.

[Tommeh!!!]

too true, and as a recovered case of self harm i am more than willing to help others who want help........*whispers* as long as im not pissed...

[Peblu]

I really don't see what 50% of the teenage population has to be depressed about. Oh noes, a girlzor doesn't like me! *CUT CUT CUT*

It does get serious once you get into it, but the causes are often very fucking stupid.

[Sweetest.x.Sin]

Yes, it is most disgusting of a site.
I've done it before and somehow people just get that depressed that they hate themselves and want to see themselves bleed and inflict pain on themselves, or they just like to do it because it releases pain in some way.
I don't do that anymore though because I realized there was no point in it.

[Tommeh!!!]

oops

[Tommeh!!!]

I really don't see what 50% of the teenage population has to be depressed about. Oh noes, a girlzor doesn't like me! *CUT CUT CUT*

It does get serious once you get into it, but the causes are often very f*cking stupid.

yeh thats true...but before you go pointing the finger you gotta think that ther ARE people whith probelms...like ive got an incureable mental disease...which was what caused it in me. but yeah, its alot of this emo subculture that do it as a social stance or blow natural emotion way out of proportion...and follow stereotypical lines. statistically there are actually a large proportion that have diagnosed cases of depression...but id imagine thats because society is full of twats....and life can be a real bitch. and just like with temperment and whatnot...some people can handle it ...others cant.

[Peblu]

I am inclined to agree.

As a side note, some people can handle my massive penis, others can't.

[SweetCheeks]

This may have already been said as I can not be bothered to read 15 pages worth of posts but:

Some people cut because they feel it is the only kind of pain that they can actually control, they know that by creating this physical it will help take away the emotional pain, or that's what they think anyway. In a way it makes them feel better by making them feel worse. It doesn't make much sence written down but it does make sence.

[Tommeh!!!]

I am inclined to agree.

As a side note, some people can handle my massive penis, others can't.
*slow clap*

you seem to have a thing about your 'massive penis' im guessing you are suffering from psychological problems from how small it is, and are trying to convince yourself otherwise. dont worry though, im sure you'll find a girl that wont ask 'is it in yet?' one day.

[Fairy]

My friend does it (mega freeky).He does it cus he says it feels nice.How can slitting your rists and have blood pouring outta you feel nice?:(

[Tommeh!!!]

im taking it hes 14? hes probably a poser, people who do it for personal difficulty reasons dont think its nice, they think its relieving...so you need to slap your friend and tell him to sort it out. there are other things that he can do that people WILL think hes cool for.

[Fairy]

he's 15...i think.No he's not a poser just extreamly screwed up.

[Lindsay]

ahh not this again

pleeease just let it die for fucks sake

[Shane]

:agree:

[Peblu]

I am a fan of the truth.

My penis is ENORMOUS. I'm serious. One time, I was walking down the street and saw a huge scale with a whale on it. It intrigued me and I walked up to the people around it and asked them what it was all about. Someone had made a bet that his whale was heavier than anything biological on land. I stepped up to the scale, kicked off the whale and weighed my penis. It was seventy times heavier.

True story.

[PrincessAlice]

you know what... when guys go on and on about their penis being huge its normally the opposite i think you really have a tiny - non existent penis

[Tommeh!!!]

you are SUCH a loser. i bet your some little fat kid with no freinds, and all you can do with your time is sit on forums being a twat. i dont think anyone here has the remotest interest in what you have to say, as its usually a load of shit. in fact i dont think anyone here likes you, why are you still here?

and as the others have said, i wish this thread would die....maybe closing it would help? *hint hint* :P

[Peblu]

Well that's not very nice. I too can make random assumptions/accusations about you.

You are mentally unstable and have no future. I mean come on, you are 19 years old and yet seem to spend a large amount of time on an internet forum. Time to get a life or a job, perhaps?

Next to Fletch, you are one of the biggest pussies on here. "Come on guys! Let's all hug each other and sing songs of happiness!". "I never disagree with anyone because that could cause an argument and that would be baaaaaaaaad!"

Aren't assumptions and accusations fun? Wheeeeee!

[Tommeh!!!]

try this one, mentally unstable, true, but cant be helped, not to mention i can cope with it. no future? thats a bit random...and im on here alot as, (in case you didnt notice in your dark little room) its been summer, im between colleges, AND i have a job, and im leaving that for another job...to go to leeds and be PAID to go to college, 210 pounds a week...you'll probably never see that kinda money farmboy. and living in a forest kinda makes it difficult to get out all the time as all the kids in the village are mouthy little 15/16 chav pricks...which i can pretty much imagine you as. not to mention, pretty much all the people on this forum spend twice the time on here that i do...so maybe you should tell them to get a life. if you are even trying to come close to insulting me or working me the wrong way, you are gonna have to do better than that, especially with the mental instability thing, that just made you more of a desperate loser. and who IS Fletch? i get along with people and have no quarrels with them, just because im not a sour, arguementative cunt like yourself...it just means im a better person than you...no great achievement...but y'know.

and to back myself up to my previous points: why no pictures? are you a pre pubescent little fat kid with a face like a smacked arse? is it something to hide? i couldnt imagine someone with such a shit personality being anything of an even half decent looking person. you have absolutely NOTHING interesting to say, all your posts are either moaning about something, 'oh i cant handle where im living' you make yourself out to be mature in some odd way, MOVE OUT! and all the rest is just making digs at people..which to me, is being a prick. sure an opinion is an opinion and you are entitled to it, but you just seem to like getting a reaction from people. and it pissess me off that you come to a thread for people who actually have an issue and first of all make fun of them...and then you do say 'fair enough'...which is cool...but then you start being a prick again. im really not gonna have a personal vendetta against you, as after all, this IS the internet. just tone it down for fucks sake, have some decency.

[Peblu]

No.

[Tommeh!!!]

yeah good reply, real mature. must say im impressed at the lack of witty comebacks though.

[bex_darcy]

It serves no purpose, you just make things worse for yourself.


I seriously am not gonna dignify that question by trying to answer it... obviously you are ignorant or naive about the subject of SH.

[Scarface]

You dont need to self mutilate

you are all teenage wjhite kids from the suburbs who have food, water, shelter and clothes but still take every problem in your life and make ridiculous melodramas around them. FOr attention you cut, write fruity poems and take anti depressents eventho u dont need them

[Tommeh!!!]

yo homie! sorry were not all gangsters like yourself from the ghetto, where the goanin is tough. although what youve said IS true for quite a few people, there are people who have chemical imbalances in their brains...there ARE depressed people in the world, maybe not as much as there are claimed cases of it...but they do exist. we dont have as much crack here you see? keep it real.

[Pearson]

God, you are such a cunt its unreal. Your a little black kid whos probably also from the suburbs, wants to be ghetto wants to be in a gang wants to make eccuses for your sorry pathetic little life by having at go at 'white kids' who have got it so good. Look you little jumped up fucking cunt, you've got food, water, shelter and clothes. You've got a fucking computer for fucks sake - You must hardly be living in the worst area in the world, connecting to the internet on your computer. Because I know people who cant afford a computer and the internet and Im a white kid whos life is easy. People have problems no matter were they live...and I tell you what I have more respect for a mentally unstabled student who cuts him self to make him self feel better than any little wanabee gangsta prick.

Tommeh, I have respect for you having an argument with these pricks and not getting as angry as I just did, before I didnt know much about this subject and thought the same as these cunts, but you told your side of it and I listened.

[Tommeh!!!]

yep and im eternally greatful for your effort :) but i do love your flare, and choice of wording sometimes :P haha.

[Scarface]

yeha i moved in with my mom in the suburbas my uncle lost custody of me. and that shows u think all gang bangers are stupid because they cant afoord computers and internet?ignorance. In baltimore the street dealers i know made 3000$ a week and had a new laptop each year.

by the way, the real depressed people dont whore out to everyone

[Peblu]

The essence of Scarface's message is correct.

[crystal.k]

i'm still doin it i just can't seem to stop i think i'm a fucked up bitch what do u think

I didnt say they was stupid. I said they wouldnt be able to afford the internet. If you lived in such a poor area you wouldnt have a fucking computer with internet access. Stop pretending that your from the ghetto and that your life is shit. Theres millions of people, literrally millions, that live in worse conditions that you!

[Fairy]

Yeh I agree!

[Scarface]

Hell if swamp', snoop's, twank's, sisies, or snoovas would pay me mor emoney i would get down with them.

I dont remember syaing my life was bad. The projects arent too bad. Just hot water problem's, and if u stay clean no roaches.

[Tommeh!!!]

[mean_girl]

i will never understand why would any1 harm his\her self like that !!

[NewAbortion]

1) To feel they have control over their lives
2) To transform their emotional pain into physical pain, something more easily understood
3) Masochism
4) To punish themselves

~Maggot

[Scarface]

[crystal.k]
