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.
