my friend has been such an attention whore for like the past yr, all of a sudden she thinks shes emo, and shes been cutting herself alot, can somebody plz tell me wth cutting urself does so i can help her a lil..

[pyke]

Cutting yourself leaves ugly scars and alienates you. I'd tell her to put the razor down.

[philywilly]

Make her realize that what she's doing is only for attention... like make her feel stupid, it usually works.. she'll probably deny it, but just keep telling her, at the same time without ruining the friendship.. you could also make other people tell her. And, maybe she's cutting herself for another reason then attention, you could always try to see if there's a problem and just be there for her.

[Charmender]

Tell her that cutting herself doesnt make her in any way cool, and that it just makes people look down on her, also tell her to stop being a stupid emo fag, and bitchslap her if you have 2.

Honestly, just show her that you care and get all her mates to tell her how worried they are and shit

[Xiphos]

pyke, ive told her that but shes stubborn, and i will try that will

[nox]

cutting yourself usually ends in bleeding..

[Justin]

Tell her its up the road, not accross the street.

Seriously though, just tell her shes an idiot and stop doing it for attention. Just like what philly said.

lol lets hope i dont have to go that far

[Frizzle]

Can't do fuck all really. Just tell her it's bad and she could end up dead, and then she won't get ANY attention after she dies (well maybe for a week, but then everyone will laugh it off in 5, 10 years).

[Warlord]

Buy her some bandaids and tell her she's a moron for cutting herself on purpose. Then find out why on god's green earth she would want to cut herself.

[Bryan]

Or instead of taking the attention whore approach.


Maybe she's a masochist?

Haha

[Eeyore]

Apparently some people that cut use it as a way to feel like they have control over something when they otherwise don't. They control how often, how deep, can give in to the pain or choose not to. I would say trying to talk to your friend about it, why she cuts, she might not just be attention whoring (though she might be, that happens too). Ask her how it makes her feel when she does it, just get her questioning the mentality she has behind it. Most people who are worried about her will leap straight to the 'shouldn't do it!!' and that's pretty much the same as people telling you not to drink when you want to, or not to go out when you want to, you'll just want to do it more.

Even if her life is pretty good from where you're standing she might have just taken pity on herself, and while it is attention whorey, she's actually not seeing it like that and has actually managed to wind herself down to being depressed about...whatever.

Not sure if that's what you meant when you wanted to know more about it, it probably isn't, just trying to help.

dont people say it feels good?... usually when i get cut it hurts... wierd how things work out

tru dat

cutting yourself usually ends in bleeding..

really?

[dolphinbomb]

Regardless of the reasons behind it, I've found that the only way to get someone to stop cutting is to be mean to them. They're looking for pity and/or attention, and when you give them just the opposite, they're eventually going to realize (subconciously or not) that it's not working.

If they're a close friend, let them know how much you disapprove of it, and ask them why they do it, and how they feel afterwards. A large majority of the cutters/ex-cutters I know tend not to know exactly why they do it, and they feel guilty and embarrased about it afterwards, often even worse off.
If that's the case, tell them to focus on how they'll feel afterwards, and make them ask themselves why they want to feel like crap.

[hoju]

I believe it relieves them of the pain of whatever they're thinking.

Like, if they're depressed, it'll get their mind off of whatever they're depressed about, so they'll think about the pain.

Give her better methods for suicide; her cutting her own wrists doesn't seem to be working very well for her.

*siiigh*

teens these days, parenting has just gone to hell.

if she refuses to listen to you, then she just needs to realize on her own how ridiculous the whole thing is. if she really wants attention that bad, then she should ask for it.

[padora]

Ask her how she would feel if her friend attempted suicide a few times...try to put her in your shoes and look at it from your viewpoint.

If that doesn't work.

Buy her a dull blade.

[Kitchwa]

She just wants to be a part of the "cool" crowd. Talk to her about stopping, if she doesn't stop, at least you tried talking to her and just let her cut herself in anyway she wants .

[Sean]

lol. Make fun of her for being a stupid emo, and give her razors for presents.

Honestly, if she is stupid enough to cut herself for attention... let her!

It depends where she cuts herself.

Anyways how often does she cut herself?

Tell her parents maybe

How can you even say "how often does she cut herself"? Even if you cut yourself once, you have problems, and you need help.
