Why can't people just learn to love?

No offense, although you will take a lot of it, anyone who cuts their wrists is an idiot. UNLESS, they are strongly abused by their parents or have no parents or in some kind of extreme emotional pain (No, getting dumped in Jr. High doesn't count) , there is no reason to do it. Anyone who doesn't fit under that category your an idiot.

A lot of times, it's a lot harder than that. I'm almost convinced that my friends are experiencing some kind of emotional pain, and even though they shouldn't do it, they aren't "idiots". They're just experiencing a hardtime on the road of life. :wink:

Well everybody has hard times, do you see everybody else cutting their wrists?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EVERYBODY has problems, EVERYBODY. You have problems, your friends have problems, that kid who insulted your friends has problems, and I have problems. The truth is everybody is insecure about something. Cutting your wrists is just to get attention.

No, I don't see everyone else cutting their wrists. Two of my friends choose to do that to solve their problems. I don't see anyone else doing it, at least in my school.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm not saying what they're doing is good. I'm saying they should be treated with respect and they should be comforted. They aren't doing it for attention. Want to know why? Because I'm "going out" with one of them, and I know her attitude. It's not her style, and it's not why she's doing this. If she just wanted attention, then why would she be frowned upon by the entire school? I'd think she'd have gotten a little accomplished...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I know her. It's not for attention. Everyone has a problem, and when people find that problem, you're supposed try to fix it. You're not supposed to take the problem that they have and shove it down their throat.

Yes, but causing yourself physical harm isn't any way to solve a problem. It WON'T solve your problems, however it will make them 20 times as worse.

 

 

 

And attention doesn't mean positive attention, it means just being noticed. And you know that kid who made fun of your friends? He has a problem, too. His problem is most likely that he needs attention. Guess what you just did? Shoved it down his throat.

thanks for the topic. although its kind of dishartening to read this, you have to understand that

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This kid

is a loser and will most likely amount to nothing in life.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

although its hard, you should just ignore him/his posse and just stick with your friends.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

makes me feel happy if finished highschool.

I agree with you. Minus the no offense thing, that is. Hate when people say that >_>.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you cut your wrists, you are stupid. They are in high school, i'm fairly sure their lives are "just" fine.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I, however, would not have done what the kid did. Considering that all they do it for is attention anyways I wouldn't have given any attention to them at all.

Tipit needs this tag:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pardon my ignorance... But what?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yeah, we don't get it... :?

[Tigra00]

 

do you cut your wrists though?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

cos if the answer is yes i'd laugh at you as well

 

 

 

This is what I'm talking out. Why would you say something like that?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'll try to help you understand...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

People who cut their wrists are looked upon as worse than people who actually do themselves in. What does cutting acomplish? Nothing. You don't die, and no, you don't feel better, you just have scars. I've cut myself before (not on purpose) and I didn't feel better about anything. I felt like my freakin' cut hurt and I shouldn't get cut again.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Granted, I believe some people do cut to "feel better", but these people are NOT right in the head at all. These people also cut their thighs, stomache...basically any part of their body. People who do it to fit in with their buddies only do it on their wrists. That's what I've found, anyways. I knew two girls who cut themselves to the point of scarring all over their body, and they're both currently in a mental institution last I heard. Their friends, however, oddly tried to "fit in" with them and would cut their wrists. I don't understand it, but whatever.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you do cut your wrists, this may be the most important information I give you:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stop it. Just -- No, shh. -- Just stop. Why would you or anyone cut themselves? It doesn't help you cope, it helps you bleed. If you cut yourself, you are not right mentally, and I mean that. You're really NOT right.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyways, on to the apparent bully:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ignore him. That's the best thing you can do. I was a bully in school (kind of, never to the point of physical violence, only joking around...people who got "bullied" usually deserved it [i.e. a kid touching my friends breasts, but thats another story] though) and if you just ignore the person, they'll leave you alone after a while for the most part. They're looking for a response from you. If you don't respond, they'll move on. If they DO keep at you, I would seriously recommend making a fool out of him infront of everyone. Yell at the top of your lungs something about how he's an unintelligent, neanderthalithic jock with an F average. Bullies hate being made fun of back. They can't take it. If you make him feel dumb infront of others, he'll leave you alone for sure. Trust me, I know from experience here, and while I could have taken it back, I never liked being made fun of for something - NOONE DOES. It was only until after highschool when I realized that obviousness.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And again, stop cutting yourself. If you don't and your friend's do, tell them to stop. Tell them to stop being attention-seeking babies. They're your friends and you should give them that respect.

Somehow, I really, really doubt that a person who accidentally cuts him or herself while cutting vegetables or whatever is really qualified to make a statement regarding the ritualistic infliction of physical pain to relieve emotional stress.

i'll explain when you answer my question

 

 

 

My friends used to have a problem with it. They don't really anymore, though. I'm still not completely sure if they have stopped, but they have certainly cut down a lot.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now, why is that funny? Don't give me any "what they're doing to themselves/why they feel they must do it is funny" crap.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

umm yea sry bout disrespect but i laughed at that XD

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

anywho on topic

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

imo cutting ur wrists is just stupid, y hurt urself thats just dumb, hurting urself cant make pain go away thats just funny, quick cut ur wrists u wont hurt so much. umm yea he was disrespect full 2 u, but imo and again i dont mean this with any dis-respect, wen u said u ran to the school counciller i kinda laughed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i mean have a bit of self dignity and hit the kid or something.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

cutting ur wrists has 2 b the stupidest thing ever though.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

( yea that wasnt on topic i no)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

on topic

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

yes its sad that he made fun of you, but if people laugh at u and u run away like a little girl ur kinda confirming to them that you cant stand up for yourself[/b]

Anyway on topic. upon injury the body releases endorphines. Some people cut themselves for sexual pleasure. S&M people do partly pretty wierd things. Most people who cut themselves probably do it, because they suffer from emotional pain and cutting is relieving. So if i'd cut myself and somebody would laugh at me for that, i'd just laugh straight back and tell him, that i enjoy it. No matter what you do, stand up for it and eventually you can't get hurt by anybodys laughter anymore. People won't laugh at you anymore though, as soon as you are completely self-confident. So thank every bully for immunizing you. In the end you'll be strong because of them.

[assassin_696]

Seriously mate, get over it. So what? That guy is an idiot for being so crude but don't let him see it get to you or your friends. Trust me people like that thrive on people's weaknesses. If he sees that it gets to you it won't make him stop, just regard you and your friends as an easy target. If you are all a bit depressive you're only playing to his stereotypes by appearing to be affected by it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, calling everyone who laughed "pure evil" is a bit far. Even that guy who teased your friends isn't "pure evil". He's mean and could probably do with a talking to but he's not pure evil by any means.

Alright. Can I make something clear? I think cutting is stupid. It's probably one of the worst things out there. It's a lot like drugs and alcohol. It doesn't solve anything, and I still wonder why people do it. One thing I know, though, is the people who do it shouldn't be thought less of. They're not mentally incompetent, they just have a problem. It's like if you were an alcoholic or a drug addict. You shouldn't make fun of them. You should help them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All of you who think this is stupid and worth laughing over truly don't get it. They are suffering depression, and those who think this is stupid can just get the hell out of this topic.

Didn't I say the thing about endorphines in another thread related to this one? Endorphines release physical pain, not emotional. Cutting yourself to release emotional pain is a phycological thing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nevermind, I just realized something. Released endorphines make you happier. They also get released when you exercise, so exercising would do the same thing as cutting :?

I've suffered depression before. My sister has as well. I know it's no laughing matter.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But in all honestly, people who moap around feeling sorry for themself and don't make any attempt to help themself aren't going to get any help from me. You can have every many and his dog in support, but if the person can't be arsed helping themself, it all goes to waste.
