Peole in my year self harm too. A girl in my class does it...its really scary!!!:bawling:

Did the advert have Fall Out Boy playing in the background.

yes smc they do it the playground and when they've finished harming themsleves they get up and play ring a ring a roses :rolleyes:

its not a scary thing. its quite traumatic

For the information this sounds like its gonna turn into an emo thread again.
Ok. people slit there wrists or whatever anyone can do it. they dont have to be stereotypically emo.
They can [actually] be depressed they could've lost someone.
You just cant make accusations like that.
Fall out boy playing the background.
Fall out boy isnt depressive music. It makes me smile.
I'd say eva cassidy is more depressing. Fields of gold, always brings a tear to my eye.

Who said anything about emo?:puzzled:

Emo.

Me -- i just did a second ago. Did ya see?
Ill do it again.

Emo.

The fall out boy remark from fangz

**** off fernzy

I do have to back this up. it's a bit out of order really fernzy.

well I can quite confidently say that Harry Potter is quite a handsome guy. In his films and in real life. He's a bit of a hit with the ladies without the scar... soo


ya know..

And this is why, my friends. You should respect Harry Potter fact or fiction.

:blush2: he made that woman (JK Rowling millions!)... aint too bad looking himself.

Oh right, I just didn't assosiate FOB with emo straight away. Guess it was just me who didn't see the link.:blush:

It's ok Lance I didnt see the connection either! dont think that it was a "remark" by Fangz either more of a comment!

self-harm issues are very serious and should not be ridiculed in any way. I find it very sad that people can make light of a condition which can start through someone feeling so low or traumatised by some event in their life...There are plenty of innocent, light hearted topics out there for you to make fun of, why don't you log on to another site?

I believe the light of this topic died ages ago.
And i believe it was when the forum was going through a stage of....lets pick on everybody cos it's boring us now!

Really.

And now BB has started this kind of died off...and won't arise again.

thread needs locking by admin! :thumbs:

No Gladders the thread does not need locking by Admin - any member can comment on any thread old or new!

I agree there is nothing funny about self harm.

Fair enough.

I don't agree with the fact that so many people associate "mostly the younger generation might i add" self harm to "MOSHERS OR EMOS"!

This is complete claptrap.
You don't know that guy in the business suit you walked past this morning might be really depressed, and might have a string of red marks up his wrist.

People who self harm, often have distractions within themselves to hide it in the outside world. So that nothing is suspected of them.

But people i know walk around boasting about the amount of blood they lost. It's quite frankly sick!

And that is why i refuse to communicate with them, because there depression is false to the core. They are in effect attention seeking.

The self harm adverts are a promotion to those who do it for reasons of significance and it's like a helping hand when they know they can phone that number 24 hours aday.

I bet if i asked them [the people i used to socialise with] if they'd been to a clinic or phoned someone they'd go "no".

There surely has to be a way of stopping these attention seekers from making light of a situation which is rather quite serious and happens everyday.

I think that the problem is Ryan even if we feel they are doing it for attention there really has to be some deep rooted problems. I have worked with young people who self harm in the past and I have also done a lot of research aruond this issue for my work BUT I am no closer to understanding, it's one of those things that only the people who do understand and often even they are not erally sure why they do it !

I agree it is usually ear marked as something done only by young people, and to be fair that is when the majority start. That said I know of doctors, solicitors, friends etc.. who do it and even as adults are not able to control the stronge urges they get to hurt themselves.

Mostly the answers I was given was "Control" they felt it was the only thing that they had control over in their lives. If someone feels the need to show you their injuries you can ask them not to or you can ask them why? maybe they are waiting for someone to ask them that!
