Attention Cutting Vs. Being Open - February 7th 2011, 12:31 AM

Have you ever met anyone who's ever cut... purely for the attention or fitting a stupid stereotype? I have. I think it's disgusting that that's why their doing it. This girl is constantly posting pictures of her scars and telling everyone that she cuts herself and how "HxC" she is. She's always getting comments on them too, like, "Omg why did you do this?" and such. Did I mention that she tags the image with '//_^ Emo"

But there's a difference though. Some people are just more open about their self harm, but they don't do it for attention. If my friend wants to see my leg, I'm going to show them my leg. If I just cut, I'm gonna call her and ask for some comfort. But I'm not going to update my status with "I just cut myself " or post pictures of it.

And people confuse people who are more open about it with people who do it for the attention. This aggravates me horribly.

I just had to say this. I had to tell someone.
Anyone agree or have points they want to make?
