Self Harm (Mutilation)





The definition of self harm is:
— 
n
the practice of cutting or 
otherwise wounding oneself,
 usually considered as
 indicating 
psychological disturbance.
People (Mainly females, 

but males also) may cut
themselves for a range of
different reasons. They may 
feel no emotions, and do it to
feel something. Or because 
they feel they need a release 
because all their emotions are
bottled up inside. They do it
for instant gratification. Other
people crave the attention, 
Or they want to die. But 
most people who cut aren't
trying to kill themselves. 
They want to get rid of 
their inner turmoil.
 They are usually
 deeply depressed
 and feel that it 
is the answer,
 but in the
long run it
 makes their 
condition worse.


                                    Other methods people use for self harm are: Burning themselves, 
                              Scratching themselves, Swallowing sharp objects, 
      Breaking bones intentionally,
          Hitting their head, Pulling hair, etc.

              People doing these things are really suffering 
            emotionally and should seek help

Friends


Everyone needs a friend. To talk to about anything, share secrets, fears and goals, and stories with. Without friendship many of us would have nothing. Treasure your friends, treat them well. Who knows where you would be without at least one true friend.
Be optimistic, all the people you hate will die eventually :)
