2 Different Things Drugs and cutting

[swim_chick]

I agree, cutting is a totally disgusting practice that makes good looking people, look not so good. Scars. EWWW. But still. You can't help people in a situation like that except if you are gentle. I dunno.

[Siren_Slipknotchick]

i think it is a cry for help personally. I really do, if they are doing it because they want to die they would do it. I think they are just looking for help

[Miranda_]

Actually, no. I used to cut and I went to great lengths to cover up the cuts so no-one would know. I didn't want help, cuz I'd already found a way to deal with things. It was a means of punishing myself for being a bad person, and also of getting out the pain. I've never been one to talk things thru with ppl; I keep it all inside.

[Siren_Slipknotchick]

i know how that can be. I keep everything inside but I am just saying I know alot of emo kids around school and they only do it for attention

[swim_chick]

Yea, which is silly, but that's what I am saying, don't give them the pleasure.

[Siren_Slipknotchick]

yep thats all I'm sayin.
and i think that helping is atleast trying to make a difference about it.

[Silver_Wolf_Kitty]

Very similarly to Miranda, I preferred to hide it behind long sleeves and a happy demeanor. I personally didn't want help until recent years because I thought I had a way to express my problems without telling others. I never really have been one to rely on people to help me because all my life all they brought was pain to me. Even now I have a hard time expressing myself, but cutting isn't always a cry for help or even a sign someone wants to kill themselves.

[swim_chick]

Yea. Sometimes you just need ink and have nothing else around. xD The only time I cut it was because of that, admittedly, it was a suicide note, but whatever..

i dont know if my advice is the best but it's good

**** is ok in my book, it grows, you pick it, you smoke it, simple
(they should replace **** with cigarettes because **** has no added chemicals that make it addictive :O )

any other drug i.e. drugs that are chemically made using cleaning supplies, pharmacy drugs, over the counter drugs, or any other dangerous combination of chemicals is BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD !!!!1 *hits you!!!!*

the best way to lift yourself from cutting is wear jewelery, it will get in the way and remind you that you don't need to cut, try to wear a rubber bracelet to help motivate you to stop

dangerous drugs are probably used because the user is depressed or extremely stupid, if it's just ****, don't worry about it, **** is a simple pain reliever and recreational drug that has no accident history from it's use ... they aren't bad people - you might even end up trying **** someday - it's not addictive and it only makes you
-relaxed
-hungry
-find everything funny
-see a light fog
-and if used in a large mass at one time, you might see things move oddly (clock tick backwards for example)
-and lose a job if tested positive - lol


law enforcement classes - that's all you need to know

Don't take this the wrong way, but that is bullpoop. Like the advice they hand out saying that in order to stop cutting you should hold an ice cube. Maybe it works for some ppl, but not for everyone. I cut partly to express my feelings, but also to punish myself for being fat and ugly. I wanted to see the blood, and an ice cube doesn't produce blood. As for jewerllry, I often wore wristbands but that didn't make any difference whatsoever. I just cut, then covered the cut up with the wristband. I still get the urge to self harm even now, I have to work hard to stop myself by distracting myself with music or even drawing. There isn't one magic cure that will cure everyone of self harm; everyone has a different reason for doing it.
