cutting question?

Question:

i have a friend. who cuts. and she cuts horizantal. but she like avtually is dpressed and stuff. but another friend told me that if u cut horizantal, u just want attention and if u cut vertical, u wanna die. is that true?

Answers:
Cutting is usually a sign of wanting to control something of your life, much like eating disorders usually are. Cutting horizontally doesnt mean you want attention and not to do any actual harm. Until a few years ago, it wasn't widely known that you do more damage cutting vertically and are more likely to succeed in suicide attempts with vert. cuts.
Your friend probably doesn't want attention for what she does unless she constantly points out that she is so depressed she just wants to die and shows everyone her self-inflicted wounds. Cutters tend to hide the actual cuts, so as to NOT draw attention to them. She should, however, seek some kinda professional help, mental or medical.

huh?!
