What do you think about kids who..?

Gosh, you sure do limit yourself! I'm a mom and gramma and would certainly never critisize any one for self harming! What good would it do? Nada! I understand why people harm themselves. They do it when they're under an overload of stress and depression to give themselves that endorphen-like feeling. Sweetie, don't underestimate the compassion alot of us older folks have. I think you should call the mental health clinic. Tell your school counselor, they will care. Tell a parent, grandparent, or auntie. Someone will take u under their wing! PLEASE!!!
Are you talking about kids who cut themselves? I had a young patient, a really pretty young girl who had cuts on her leg, and I kept asking her what they were and she wouldn't tell me, then suddenly I realised she was doing it herself and was embarrassed (her mother verified).
It was just so sad because this girl was so pretty, and nice and it's hard to imagine how anybody could be in that frame of mind to think it is OK to hurt yourself. Personally I don't enjoy pain much and could think of a lot of things I'd rather do. Can't say I understand it, but it's definitely neurotic behavior, and may indicate much deeper problems. When I hear about these kinds of things, I just think of dogs with mange who can't stop scratching themselves, or disturbed kids I once saw at a mental health facility who have to wear helmets and gloves so they won't scratch themselves or bang their heads on things. I think we're not as different from animals as we'd like to think.
I think that they have emotional problems that they don't know how to deal with any other way, and really need to seek help immediately.
I think they have some sort of mental illness. They may be doing it because of some trauma that happened to them and they are blaming themselves, I really don't know, but I really feel sorry for them. If you are one of them, please get some help.
I think that they are seriously crying out for help, and should be helped at every opportunity. If they are young and starting that, there is so much time for things to get so much worse. PLEASE see that they get the help they need before they fatally harm themselves.
I feel scared for them, and I hope they find the right help.
{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}} to anyone reading this who has hurt himself or herself on purpose. I hope you have the courage and ability to get help and turn things around soon!
Chances are these Kids need Help , Something is going on in there life , an they wont talk to mom or dad about it , maybe there scared ? .. i dont know .. But they need someone to talk to , someone who wont be mean to them, someone to hear them out , an help them along the way.
i think its their choice of how they want to cope and i think they shouldnt be preassure to stop if they dont want to
i ousted to cut it was the only way i no how to duel, but i got over it and now if i feel like cutting again i just grab a rubber band and snap it against my wrist and it makes me feel better. But people who self harm should talk to someone or find other ways do die with their problem's like taking up art class.
you definetly need to tell someone, tell a school counselor, or your parents so you can get some help. I used to cut and it wont help you in the long run.
It's a cry for help. They feel that there's no other way to deal with emotional pain so they inflict physical pain upon themselves to mask it.
Well, IF I did that(I DON'T!), I would probably tell one of my best frends, she doen't judge me, she will listen(OK, so sometimes her jokes aren't funny, but w/e).
I wouldn't judge either. I understand why someone would do that, not that it's a good idea, but I understand.
are we talking about 8 year olds or 14 year olds? the older kids who selfharm are usually just experiementing at first, and then it slowly progresses into an addiction, as it did for me. it is sad for me to see kids who are experiementing with this drug, because i know how hard it is to quit, i know what they will go through, i am still going though it. I agree that telling parents and other relatives is a bad idea for self harmers. their best bet is to tell a very trusted friend. only 2 of my very close friends know about me cutting, and they have done nothing but try and help me quit (hasnt worked yet, but the fact is that theyre trying). even better to talk to to get help is the people who used to hurt themselves, or hurt themselves presently and are trying to quit. as with anything else, stopping SI is alot easier if there is more than one person trying to quit. btw...thanx "A friend" your words are very nice, you seem like a very caring person :)
It´s the parents fault,sometimes school´s as well.
These poor kids should seek help and try to leave home!As far away as possible,maybe fostercare...
The "parents" should be sterilized,so they can´t repeat what they´ve done wrong!
Before finding a partner and new friends they should examine them closely,because they might attract a..holes ,as theyr "parents"
and the tragedy would continue...
i think it is bad kid who do that are hurting evey one not just them there are people out there that love them and it may make you feel better to hurt your self but they have to find something else that makes them feel that way and do that then it is not worth hurting your self i know . and your firend could help or fine a friend or some one online that did or is trying to stop hurting them self
Don't be so quick to lump all adults into the same mold and say that NObody would understand & /or everyone would judge or look down on you.. I assure you that not adults are like that as a matter of fact If I were a betting woman, I would wager to bet that if you try and look real hard you could find a parent or a teacher or other trusted adult who would be totally willing to stop and listen to you and do their best to help you come up with a solution to any problem that you present to them.
Why not give it a chance..go to an adult that you think you can trust and discuss your problem with them.
