i did my best to hide it actually, i didnt want to be anyones burden, i always saw it as my problem, why should i share it!? its a serious matter - not something to poke fun at - i agree. but doing it for attention is blatently sad, that you have to stab yourself for attention... can you not do something positive or creative and get noticed for something you should be noticed for.
Thats their problem, its not supposed to make you feel better, normal people would be like oh ---- this hurts and stop. To help their problems with other people, not cutting themselves would be a good start to fit in. Wouldnt call em retarted, id stay the hell away from em though, cuz its creepy. What are some of their problems, theres probably easy solutions, i dont bother talking to emo kids or whatever, so i dunno what their problems are.
Some people find comfort in pain Lennox, often times people are afraid of change, so if they have lived in a deeply hurtful state for a long period of time, they are afraid of what most people would consider to be 'positive'. You grow and adapt to your surroundings, if your treated poorly, thats the way your emotions/mood swing.
If you're treated poorly as in physical abuse, you fight the hell back. If kids at school make fun of you, start acting like them, and you'll fit in. thats the crazy thing, there is no confort in pain.
Im not talking in school, im talking in life. Do you expect a 3 and 4 y/o kid to fight back to an adult? Did you? No. There are things you cant understand unless you have experienced them, from your 2 comments thus far, im assuming you havnt experienced much in return. Belittling at a younger age will often result in the child being feeble, paranoid, and scared of the things it hasnt felt. As humans its natural for us to fear what we do not know, you fear pain, they fear what you consider comfort. Comfort comes from pain from those who know only pain. Being optimistic in even the worst circumstances is what results in people finding comfort in even pain. Understanding only what pain brings makes people try their hardest to find something good in that pain. Some people have a conscious, which is why they are rather aggressive, they will attack others and feel bad about it, like I did, so they take their aggression out on themselves. Gotta love what you learn when your majoring in psychology in college, eh?
instead of taking it out on yourself, do something constructive. Don't fight others, dont hurt yourself. Put that anger into kickboxing, or working out, or cycling. No i dont expect 3 or 4 year old to fight back, thats terrible that people hurt them, eventually another family member, or some 1 else who has seen something will step in, get police, and put a stop to it. If you're older, you take a bat and beat the ---- out the dumb ----, then run and get police. I didnt get the 2nd paragraph at all.
Ya.... If you wanted to kill yourself, why cut your wrists? That's not gonna kill you. Why not just use a smith n wesson or something. Lucky you got past the slump. Anyways, people who cut their wrists are obviously not in normal mental condition to do something like that to themselves, and need help mentally, like those insane asylums and ish.
Some people dont have those chances, sure you may hear of some of those "troubled teen" stories where some top notch kickboxer or something comes and sees a kid fighting and helps them out, but it doesnt work. My counselor, when I got sentenced to see one after my 4 assault felonies a few years back told me to practice with the football and wrestling teams, dont play with them or go to their matches unless you want to, but just to practice, blow some steam, tire yourself out. And as for people getting involved, thats BS. I wont go into my story, but I know from personal experience and from many, many other people I have met in the orphanages and homes I lived in that its not a perfect world, other family members rarely step in, and rarely will cops get involved, especially in areas with a high rate of crime, such as the inner districts of large cities like LA. Also, again from personal experience, the government doesnt work in your favor in circumstances where you beat someone up and then run to get help, without an eye witness, they will still trust the one with the fewer run-ins with the police.
If you're a kid, the jury will side with you. ya cops are stupid like that sometimes, childrens help phone is way to go. Government and judge are idiots, jury knows the right decisiosn. Thats sucks bud, best of luck to you, but dont cut yoself.
jeeze...just cuz someone cuts doesn't mean they want to die!!! and I know it's hard for some of you ignorant ppl to understand but for some ppl it's the only thing keeping them alive. it's hard to explain...and I won't bother anyways cuz I know you wouldn't care... but stop arguing about something you don't understand...
Agreed. I know people in my life who have pretty ----ty lives. One of them does cut herself, but at one point her sister was making her life hell and her Mum has always been on the verge of death. There ARE some peopl I go to school with who simply do it for attention but many DO have real problems... I don't quite see why they do it; and it takes a hell of a lot of convincing to get them to stop...
They don't kill themselves because they don't want to die, but they're afraid of living their lives and moving on from what problem caused them to cut in the first place.
And no, they dont. The jury does not always side with children, also from personal knowledge, and from knowing others, once again, in California.
