Some people think they deserve it because they hate themselves, for some the physical pain distracts them from the emotional pain, for some it's a form of release...like they have so much pent up and it's a way of letting some go, which is very hard to relate to if you haven't done it but ya know. Then of course there are the masochists who like the pain. And finally, the people who do it for attention because they want to be heard, want people to see how much they're hurting, want /help/. None of these people are psycho/crazy/stupid/whateverthefuck

Self harm is usually deemed as something horrific and is frowned upon, however the sad reality is that usually it's the only way someone can find a release ( due to not having someone to talk to /support them. Psychological abuse etc. ).
Personally I do think it's wrong but I do try to help those who want someone to talk to. It's better than seeing someone hurt themselves.

@Tom yeah. The thing that annoys the though is that so many people do it for attention and it's not because they have no one to talk to because they could get help with the click of a finger if they wanted it. I do agree with you however not everyone does it for real reasons. There are a lot of attention seekers out there and people trying to be "emo".

some people so not do it for attention but for personal reasons and I find many people judge them despite the fact they do not know what he or she is going through. Personally I think it is bad but under some peoples circumstances they do it for a reason not just to attention seek

@😄Sudsy😄 yeah I agree but when people show it off, tell everyone, post pictures to tumblr. That's attention seeking

some are for stupid reasons like their boyfriend broke up with them and some nonsense like that... Some are for attention but most are probably going through a hard time.

@Loolaluvxx tell your student support staff at school (head of year or whoever you have) they will be able to get her counselling to help her recover. That's what I did for my friend. I think with self harm you really need to get it into your head that you want to stop. I think it's a state of mind. She needs to question herself and see how ridiculous it is. It makes things worse not better. She needs to understand that self harm isn't the only way out. It isn't a way out. There is no need for it. It's pointless.

@sweetcattiem ok first of all it isn't exactly pointless. Ok girls go through bullying,family times, all kinda of stuff like that. They do that because it relieves pain. I'm no trying to sound mean or anything but there are other ways to put it.

@MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp yes also. It is pretty sad and stupid to self harm. These people should be grateful they are alive and healthy. (That is the people who do it purely for attention)

but theres people out there who have suffered/ing from severe emotional pain and think that self harm is only way to help them. So we can't judge, we don't know their story

@Megan❤Conor but self harm is never an option, solution or a form of help. The people who actually do it for proper reasons (not for attention) are not thinking logically which is why they need help to understand that self harm is bad

@sweetcattiem But the people who do it for attention are looking for people to care about them and help them with their emotional problems... It's not just "Everyone look at me!"

@MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp you can't generalise it! Not everyone is the same. There are people who do it for reasons none other than to show it off. I have Jo sympathy.

My closest friends did it and I didn't know why they did to start with but when I sat down with them and talked, I realised what pain or hurt they were going through and then felt how they were so it might appear as attention seeing but they're dying inside and no one knows so they show it on the outside (unfortunately) so dont judge, realise what they could be feeling =....(.....

yeah I did do it for attention, and yeah that's what I mean, attention as in literally attention. Not just to show it off. However some people do do it to show it off. But ultimately it's always attention. Or else there would be no point. Unless you're a psycho of corse
