Hello there. I do not want to say the ages of these kids or the names... So please bear with me as I tell you what has been happening in my school/life.
In my school I now know that a bunch of girls cut themselves because they feel sad. These where some of the responses I got back from asking them why did they do it.
well... the pain on the inside is to bad so i cut my slef to make me feel better
I know that others do it so that way i do it too.
well my boyfriend makes me sad so that is why I do it.
i do it because i am addicted to it
And jabello, you cant stop depression its just something that happens to people. some get though and some dont.
My account was banned so I am going to be using my brothers account. Anna. You can't all at one time. And for the people that did not get though it. They didn't try hard enough.
I learned about a disorder today in psychology where people cut of their limbs.
Unless you're really close to them I doubt you alone would be able to help. When someone's that sad, their mind is set - it's gonna be really hard to convince them to stop. You could tell a responsible adult that could get them professional help. I think that's about all you'd be able to do. :/
I'm already feeling sick. I also think the mods did the best on giving suggestions.
Yes, I think the mods should be praised for what they've done thus far; they contributed quite enough and in an intelligent way.
I am jabello's girlfriend and i dont need a therepist
I don't know if that is true, but what I know about people with mental/emotionnal issues is that they'll try to persuade themselves that they don't need help until the very end. Believe me, I could tell you the scariest stories about people affected by depression and/or psychotic behaviors; I've lived an episode of that in my own close family.
Now, about how I can help in some way... I'm quite clueless about the motives that would push someone to do so, or rather I'm clueless as to why the motives would push a person to do so. What I know though is that as Cenny said, you cannot in any way try to use reason alone in these cases. I really believe that persons that have come to such extents should consult specialists. All the ones I know that have seen some have stepped on their pride to admit it is most helpful.
In some way, a cutter would be able to show you the cut and tell you "Look how much it hurts", because there is no other way they can communicate the pain inside.
I understand. I almost got sucked into hurting myself as a cope method but I stopped myself when I relized what I was doing. My sister almost did the same but i stopped her.
It's weird. I have never understood people that cut themselves. When I feel depressed I try to get some positive feelings, not even more pain.

And that's only one of many reasons people are strongly encouraged not to shun depression and its symptoms. How many times have we heard that ''she/he's faking it'', that ''depression's not a real illness'', etc...
I don't get it too, but I do know that it's something you can only understand once you've been there. It's like having a stroke; I couldn't know what it feels like because I never had one, but once it is there, what can you do to avoid it. These persons have problems, real problems that probably won't go away with just hanging out and playing some video games, so don't try to understand by relating to your own personnal experiences of ''emotionnal pain''; it won't work.

People sometimes have strange ways of handling their emotions, I have a friend that does that but I can ever get an explanation out of him.
