That is so true but some ppl do it to know that there are still alive or it was the only pain they could control and that is why i do it i cant control nething but that

Well wrote...so ture...i fell for it to...he was my boyfriend...and i was soo worried about him he didn't just cut he also went on about how he has tried and commited suicide before and how he was goin to do it again soon. i became sooo worried and scared, he made me soo depressed, i started cutting to. i always had past trauma in my life but going out with him brought all my past shit back up again. i stayed with him because all his friends said if i didn't he would kill himself. he totally stuffed up my life and i believe him the whole time...until one day someone who until this day still is saving my life in more ways then he knows told me that he was an attention seeker and had no intention of killing himself. i just felt soo hurt. i thought how could sumone cut for fun and attention. it is bearable to me because i have felt much worse pain but for him it's a complete joke...thanks for writing this peom...touched me deeply.
:)
luv edwina

Your so right.....i know people that do it for attention. i think it's so stupid for them to do that like that. theres no reason for them to do it but they want people to be like oh dont do that and say stupid shit like that. i cut as well and i was doin it for like 8 months before someone found out. so obvisously i dont do it for attention. i dont know how my best friend found out. lol i think she grabbed my arm and i was like ouch. and she pulled up my sleeve and saw it

I like ur peom it fit some people i know. u really know what to say thats what i think. but anyway i know how u feel and good job.

OMG dont mean to sound rude (but i will trust me) but People crave attention, we cant controll them, but they obvioulsy need the attention. And the people who dont do it for attention, don't fully want it. People who do not cut for attention feel pain, anger, and even hate towards many things, but people who DO cut for attention do need it. Did you ever think that maybe, they feel rejected, or unwanted? Did you ever stop to think that even though friends tell attention cutters that they are there for them or that they love them, they are so distant that they dont even hear it so they crave the attention. And did you ever once consider the fact that all of you saying attention cutting is bad, mean, hurtful to yourself, depressing to you, that you are also craving this attention? Honostly i want responses to this. And let me say one more thing. I write poems about cutting all the time, about all people. But I do not say that cutting for attention is bad, and I'm not saying I dont cut. I used to cut, and I kept it to myself, but a friend helped me out, and I'll never be the same because cutting gives ou a good feeling, and I am very bad at coping, but I dont go saying, I cut and it hurts to see other people do it for attention, or Hey look I cut myself. thats attention cutting. Im not saying that you are bad people, I am just saying that you are being hipocritical, and Im not saying that Im not being hipocritical, because at one point and time, we all will be. But take a hint, your not hateful towards attention cutters, you ARE attention cutters, or have friends who are. Again not trying to be rude, but if you dont like people who cut for attention, then stop spreading that example of it like the plauge. Another thing, you dont know what peoples intentions are. If someone threatens suicide, even if it is only jokingly, you take it seriously, no matter what anyone else says. And these thoughts are very much common, its not something to take lightly, even if they only think about it doesnt mean they will attempt it, but it doesnt mean they wont either. So take what I said into serious thought and consideration, and one day, learn to stop living in a hipocritical lie.

I love you work it's amazing i have fallen in love with everything you've written, so beautiful and meaningful with so much emotion. you truley talented!!

I understand where youre coming through on this poem, i think its brilliant how youve put it. i know exactly what you mean, no, not all cutters do it for attention but some do and gladly display it...well done, great poem
although i would just like to say, that youre 'twinkle twinkle little blade' poem sort of contradicts this slightly!
take care

I really liked the poem and also it is true people do cut for attention which you explained in your poem but others do cut for many other reasons so there is no reason why you should have been called shallow becuz you were aimming it towards one group of cutters i ain't saying that this is a bad poem but i can see where people get th idea that you wrote about all cutters but in your poem i see it as aimming it toward a group! 5/5 KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK! luv ya kal

To tell you the truth, it does sound like an anti cutter poem, but not all people see situations the same. like if i cut because my best friend went out with my ex boyfriend ( not saying that ever would happen ), to some people, that seems stupid.so people sometimes say that certain things are normal but everyone has their lines for situations that invole the blade and which don't, so dont take it personal. _ SM

This poem is so true. Cutting isn't cool....and yes i do it. it isn't something to be waved around like a banner. ANOTHER GREAT POEM. i know where you are coming from

This is good...i use to have a friend and she said she was depressed and wanted to cut but she wasn't depressed at all! she inspired me to write one of my poems.

Yea i feel that thoes who admit they cut are either 1) doing it for attention or 2) are really strong for admitting it.
becasue the hardest thing is admitting!
You can usually tell apart the fakes!
Great POem!!

Great poem, there do seem to be far too many attention cutters around. i cannot really understand why though, sure it will get them attention but not in a positive way and all they are doing is potentially ruining their lifes and giving non-attention seeking self-harmers a bad name and even more prejudcism than what they would have receveied anyway.

this peice is very well written good flow and clear content with a strong message behind it.

5/5

I think that was a GREAT poem...my ex-bestfriend cuts for attention I thought she seriously needed help but she just made scratches all over with a pin and it ended up she did it for attention...I hate it when ppl do that...great poem...I feel the same way!

I loved the poem but i dont think people who cut even for attention dont have problems like me i cut and people could think i do it for attention even though i dont i always hide my scars and i only ever told 2 people, but lots of the comments talk about people with good lives...you dont always see the real side..also people could say i got a good life i got nice family and frineds but it still didnt stop me from slipping in2 depression and anorexia and cutting and just because i have a good family doesnt mean i fake being unhappy...i hope that came out right and not harsh..sorry ..loved the poem xoxox love georgia

I like this poem...i kno what you mean...some girl in my grade does it for attention and its so annoying cause i myself used to cut...i read one girls thing about how she thinks shes one of those...and hun...ur not...you just want someone to feel your pain...im here.

Wow. This is pretty much amazing. It speaks the truth. I used to cut, and I hated seeing people do it for attention, and i still hate seeing them do it for attention. It's really not something to be proud of. Weell said.
