So in all honesty I would say don't be so judgmental because everyone has a story and no one know 100% of another persons life.

I have encountered that situation when I was a cutter. A friend blatantly lied about self harming and it later came out she didn't. Of course I was mad, because she had the audacity to take a serious issue to many people and lie about it. Later on I realized I wasn't mad because she lied, I was mad because he didn't know what if felt like to have the pain and seek for relief like many self harmers do. Maybe that is why your mad or maybe not. But just because she didn't understand exactly the pain or what I was going through in order to have no options left turn to cutting doesn't mean she didn't have issues of her own.
^^ Opinion just changed. Again. Everyone here is such a freaking eye opener, I'm seeing things in ways I would have never seen them before this place.
