But don't you think they're getting the compassion through the attention they're seeking? In all fairness to you, (and I know you don't know me very well), I have very strong opinions and I often express them without consideration for the other side of the argument. So, as I was going to say, I all fairness to everyone here, there are two ways of seeking attention. A good way and a bad way. There are some kids that don't get attention at home OR they get the wrong kind of attention, be it they get beaten or molested or mistreated. I've seen that leading to all kinds of SI. Perhaps a person experiences something tragic and life changing and they simply cannot bring themselves to talk about it, so they use a more subtle way of drawing attention to themselves.
There are a million explainations. There are also a million ways for me to retract what I said in my original note. I won't, however, because as I wrote in reply to Dani, I've had 6 of my friends turn to cutting purely to get attention. And I mean the worst possible kind of 'attention' you could ever imagine.
Still, I'm sorry, I cannot see past that majority.
