What's your opinion on........

okay. well you know how there's people who are depressed, sad, cut and other things like that.... well do you look at them as just being people who want attention? or do you think of them as someone who just needs help a good friend? because it seems...at my school.... no one can be in a bad mood without "just wanting attention". and people are always riduculing cutters but i mean, yeah, cutting's a bad thing but it's pretty much an addiction. iono. just wondering what some of yall opinions were.

Everyone needs someone to notice them. Some go to extreme measures to do so.
I don't hold it against them.
Anyone who seeks attention that much needs some form of help.

okay. lets put it this way. if your just going to criticize the things people talk about then dont read them and dont reply to them. none of us need and/or want stupid reply's like that (ISMAIL) and we dont need your psychoanalysis of us either. it was a question of others opinions. if you dont think it's a question that deserves to be in THE SADNESS AND DEPRESSION FORUM...then that's your problem but dont bring other people down who are just looking for a good conversation and others opinions.

I think both. but they need attention cuz attention means care DUH

Just because they show people katie doesn't mean they're doing it for attention, maybe they're trying to get help and feel like they can't actually SAY anything.

Damn, people have such a terrible opinion on self-harmers. We don't do it for attention, 9 out of 10 people that cut don't tell anyone. And the one person that does is probably a bit stronger than the rest of us.

Go Ryan! Tell her!

But my opinion is the same if you don't have any support or actual advice to give then keep it to yourself!
