Teenagers face depression? You probably don't even know what depression really is. "Oh my boyfriend dumped me" "I can't find a hot guy to marry" " Everyone thinks I'm fat". Sure, the death of someone you care about is hardening, but if you can honestly cut yourself without any regrets, you should be able to handle the pain of their death without having to do it. When you're actually out of middle school and into the real world, you'll see depression. People who can't take care of themselves and their family due to lack of money, people who have been raped, people who were unfortunate enough to survive an accident who go through extreme suffering.
Jo those people are weak minded. Have some self control for god's sake. I drink from time to time on special occasions and I know when it's my time to stop. I've smoked cigs quite a few times in my life and I've not had that addiction to want more. I'm no cig fiend.
Once again here comes the stereo types I guess those are the only reasons people become depressed, right? Everyone goes through something different, how could you know what truly happened to that person, you wouldn't. You are the most ignorant person I have ever meant and honestly I will pray for you, because with that close-minded attitude you're not getting anywhere .
I don't see why people feel a need to self harm. Sure at that moment and time for them it may be a way to relieve their stress or it may seem like a "defence mechanism" but in my opinion I think it's pathetic. Nowadays many people simply harm to "fit in" and when asked why they do it they can't provide a genuine reason.
I smoke cigs and used to be addicted to amphetamines. People are made different. Just because you haven't had those struggles doesn't mean they don't exist.
Drugs increase the level of dopamine in the brain, which is what sends an electrical impulse for the need to fuel this addiction. So in other words, they are addicting. ?
I've never self harmed and never thought about doing it. I had a good upbringing and am generally a happy person with no reason to try to end it. I have never heard of religions that promote self harming, rather the opposite, to preserve life. But indeed this isn't the place for it, its too touchy and just mentioning it can hurt some people. Its not a happy convo either.
Nuns used to self harm as well as priests...they used to flog themselves or something similar to atone for their sins.
I am usually a crazy, awesome person :3 But I will answer this with *Dramatic voice* An answer! I think self-Harming shouldn't be done. I mean, hurting yourself doesn't make any sense. Does your problem or 'problems' get better by hurting your self? I bet they don't. Who ever is reading this and self harms-- just stop, ok? I'm there for you. A lot of people are. Harming yourself will do nothing. You can change yourself aka stop self harm. YOU CAN DO IT!!!
Why do people think that only teenagers self harm? That's beyond ignorant. Many people go through depression. Ranging from different ages. Everyone deals with it differently. Some people let it eat them away slowly, thinking that they're 'pussies' as you previously referred to people who self harm due to depression. Thinking it's a phase and they should be ashamed to have such thoughts, those people are affected the worst. Then there are those who turn to drugs or alcohol to ease the pain. Then of course, there is people who self harm to ease the pain. Who are you to judge anyone and how they should feel. That's absolutely disgusting that you think you can actually call people bitches for being depressed. It just shows to prove how dimwitted and uneducated you are. Actually, you have no self control, because you clearly can not keep that muzzle shut even though you're clearly not an educated individual.
No, you're a idiot for trying to offend people for god knows what reason are you that unhappy with your life that you have to try to make yourself out to be so godly, honestly if you need someone to talk to I'm here, no need to hold it all in until it turns into hate and then force it on to other people Robert.
People who actually support self harming has done it of course. And sure I'm closed minded. I'm conservative. I hate how sensitive people have become. Words like faggot have become frowned upon because people only think it refers to gays. Now tell me that's not closed minded.
I'm helping people out to not self harm. How is that bad? I don't consider self harming a sane or good thing to do. It seems everyone else on this thread does though.
I actually don't support self harming. I think anyone who advocates it should be shot in the head. But, talking down or about others cause they do it or have done it is not going to improve the situation. In fact, you're adding fuel to the fire.
My muzzle shut lol? I'm telling people what's wrong, and you're telling people that hurting themselves is okay? You're clearly uneducated. I don't want to live in a society where people hurt themselves because of a problem. I've faced deaths, heartbreaks, money issues, but I would never stoop so low as to hurt myself over things.
"Helping people out" you out right insulted anyone who has been a alcoholic, drug addict or have self harmed in there life, that's not helping anything, that's making things worse, you are the problem, now leave my thread please, I've been trying to get it locked since page one
