Oops

@misslittleDHP 😜 possibly from the perspective of a fictional character.. Or just me going off on one., 😜

Quite...insensitive really.

Haha brilliant!👏❤

@Irrational_Kimmi yeah maybe.. Just an opposing opinion.. I can vaguely understand some reasons for it.. But there's far more that i just don't get.. And gbg

@Irrational_Kimmi sorry.. And tbh there's far too many post romanticising it .. So what's wrong with a post saying its pointless?

@Burrfoot I appreciate that it's your opinion but I think you are being a little judgemental. Yes, self-harm can be attention seeking for some misguided youths but it can also be a sign of serious depression. I just don't think it's funny to make light of it. Rant over ☺

@Irrational_Kimmi not making light of it any more than any other issue that is raised on here.. I get offended by reading so many posts about folks cutting themselves to ease the pain.. That perpetuates the myth and encourages the impressionable.. I bite my tongue.. Now I voiced my opinion..

@Burrfoot that's fine, I understand now. I also don't want to romanticise it - in fact I would always discourage anyone from doing it and I don't think my poem makes it seem like a good option. Also if you read my comments you'll see I even say so. So I think we agree really, just had different ways of expressing it 😊

@Irrational_Kimmi indeed and I hadn't read yours until now and don't think it does either 👍

@Burrfoot a different perspective on an emotive subject😏😏😏

Oh I hope you don't think I was? I mention it in mine but it's quite the opposite. 😔

@eddie12309 I haven't read any tonight 😉 just flicked on and seen the subject and this sprung from mind to thumb.. @misslittleDHP that is pretty much it.. A different perspective. I've lost count of how many young people I've witnessed and stopped from slicing themselves through my work.. It's not big and it's not clever and it doesn't result from depression alone, there has to be something else that lights that spark.. I'm just not sure what that is..

@Burrfoot you are right...who knows what else could be the trigger factor...in my friends case it was an act of desperation and frustration over a bloke...she feels very embarrassed about it all now...for my cousin it was a cry for help...he has been having counselling which has helped him tremendously ...your perspective is a valid one my lovely😘😘

@misslittleDHP ty on one hand I don't mean to be overly harsh, but on the other, every time I deal with someone that thinks its cool to cut themselves I just want to give them a good bloody shake! What is the objective of cutting?

@Burrfoot I don't think they think it's 'cool'. But the media/books have had a big part in glorifying cutting into something that is a supposed 'release'.

So many mechanisms have failed prior to someone cutting themselves, it is wrong in any guise.

@Nom from when I wer a lad, when punk pals did it in a similar trend as body piercing to today and the emo crowd.. Many youths think its cool.. And then there's the myth of release as you say.. Then there's attention seeking.. Then there's real people needing real help who slip through the net. It is not acceptable on any level.

Interesting perspective, easy to feel this way I think as there are people out there that do it because of media hype, I just feel sorry for the ones that genuinely do it out of deep depression, they are the ones that don't talk about it, of course. Well done for this, I think it's brave to raise this sort of thing. Excellent.

@naaviie ty and I've seen some seriously disturbed people and saved them on numerous occasions.. This isn't aimed at them. For them it's society's/govt failing not their own

@Burrfoot I agree. The ones that slip through the net are the ones who never cry out. I do agree with you that a lot of people who cut, do it for the attention. And though I'm prone to posting a 'woe is me' Opuss too, I agree!

I can relate totally, my best friend made repeated attempts on her life... She's fine now though. Damn society is to blame for everything...

@Nom @naaviie I blame govt/society in respect of the 'care in the community' victims.. A significant % just can't cope and aren't cared for.. For some, the only interaction they get is when they stick a knife in their gut n dial 999.. Then some cops come, chat to them until they get sectioned, then they get released next day etc..

Blummin heck, it's a sad day when people have to resort to that. 😔

@Burrfoot so sad. :(

@naaviie don't get me started on society...😠😡😠

@Irrational_Kimmi - hahaha I could rant all night and all day and the next night and next day and..... On and on!!

@sheepie you're 13? Why? Catch yourself on

@sheepie lol yeah you're a keeper

@Burrfoot how am I hypocritical? Egotistical? I'll conced the asshole part.. I say catch yourself on, because a 13 year old boy/girl should not be coming out with statements like they cut themselves without realising.. And think that such statements are normal and should go unchecked

@sheepie 👏😂

@sheepie whereas you do it because?.. Ok so you picked some random names to call me.. But could you at least reply in sentences that make sense?..

@sheepie well..

@sheepie I take it you deleted your last comment

@sheepie 👏 you need help is all I'm saying.. You also need to restrain that little boy angry routine

@sheepie you do not need to cut yourself; it does no good; it does not improve any function in your life... What part of that doesn't make sense?

@sheepie indeed

@sheepie aka spoilt brat

@sheepie you're portraying a fine, if somewhat illiterate example of one

Using capital letters, ranting nonsensical gibberish, name calling, and a fair few traits alluded to in my post... You're also boring me now.. Gn 🍀

@sheepie then I suggest you learn how to act and behave in a better manner

@sheepie like I said last night... Spoilt brat.. Even more so now that it was a 'dare' to try start an argument. You think i

I'm completely with you on this one mate. As if cutting themselves ain't bad enough they then go and write a bloody poem about it. As if it's some kind of badge of honor or something I tell ya it makes me 😡 great poem.

@glen ty .. 💪 .. Was almost thinking I in the minority .. A place I'm used to being 😉

@DiamondGhost 👍

@DiamondGhost I wouldn't mind if they showed the pain and depression of the situation, but they tend to glamorise it which is wrong

@glen 👋 cutters gonna cut n haters gonna hate.. I agree that all the cutting posts make it more likely that susceptible teens going through problems will give it a try 😡

@Burrfoot 😃 I remember this one mate. Ha I might do a cutting series of posts lol it might take off 😃

@glen #cutoff
