do people here really mean it??

i think when people say that, they know from experience that it is a really bad thing, so they tell the people they care about that they should never get into anything like that. you can tell your friend that you care about her and you dont want what happened to you to happen to her.

You;re right, its being a hypocript. I do that alot. but I do know that no matter who it is, it always helps when someone says "I'm here for you" and actually means it... Helps if you get to know the person too. *shrug* I dont know why people do it.

I mean it though i do it but i do show them that i am trying to stop and im doing alot better and that even though i do it i just show them that they dont want to look just the way i do or having to look at those scars all over their body everyday of their life the way i have too. I need to prevent it though i do it it doesn't mean that everyone else needs too. Cause if i jumped over the bridge is everyone else going too???

I'm always here for every one who needs to talk about their problems, cause I know what it's like to be alone and having no one to talk to....so yes I really mean it and when I tell people not to cut, I'm serious...... I talk from experience and it's a never ending thing!!! I don't want other poeple in this world to go through the same pain that I do every day!!!! I'm here to help and support any one who wants me to...

I mean it when I say it because it's something that I have done in my past, and something that I have over come.

When I started, my best friend told me that she was doing it as well but didn't want to tell anyone. We would spend hours on the phone just talking, we filled up a whole bunch of notbooks talking, and it really helped. We helped pull eachother out of it. We never said to eachother you can't cut anymore, don't do it, blah blah blah...we were just there for eachother.

It really helped to have someone with the same problem, right next to me. We ended about the same time. I stopped first, which gave her the courage to stop as well. Now, she's the stronger one, and still trying to help keep my head above the water.

i dont think its hypicrital.. i think that its wanting whats best for someone... simple as that
