I don't know

I think you need the honest opinion of someone with a background in psych.

Nice, Sean. :-P

No, I don't personally think you are looking for attention. If you were looking for attention, you would know it. Maybe if not wearing sweaters means so much to you, you shouldn't cut.

Oh i cut too. And ushually I wore sweaters, But people started to get suspicious of my obsession with long sleeve shirts in the summer, So I just try my best to not use the arm i cut on. I dont think your crying out for attention, nope.

That's a question you can answer for yourself. What reason do you have to cut? Do you go to your room thinking "Wait until she sees this one" or "I wonder what they'll do when they see this"? Or are you consumed by problems like you mom hits you or life is overwhelming for you... Things like that? This should help you answer yourself. Just take a minute to think about your circumstances and you'll know.

(note to natalie and garret)

I should be the one getting a life, sitting here deleting side-arguments. Please stick to the topic and be constructive.

cutting doesn't help at all. it does nothing. If you don't want people to hurt you in any way, stop hurting yourself. It isn't good for you at all. really, please stop, i'm worried about you now.

It wasn't a side argument...it was MY opinion. I thought I was allowed to have one...sorry, that's what I get for thinking.

Carry on....

Sorry about that, Sean. Won't happen again.
