smash your head

why in the world do people cut themselves? i think it's either attempted suicide (fucking feeble attempt) or just to try to attract attention.

this is what i found on
wikipedia.
a common form of self-injury is shallow cuts to the skin of the arms or legs, or less frequently to other parts of the body, including the breasts and sexual organs. since this is the most well-known, it is casually referred to as "cutting", though it may also involve punching, slapping, or burning oneself as well. people who engage in self-harm are not usually attempting suicide, but are trying to relieve an unbearable emotional pressure they are feeling. however, self-injury is a strong predictor for future suicide or suicide attempts. a self-injurer is significantly more likely than people of other diagnoses to attempt or complete suicide in the year after an incident of self-injury. self harm is seen by some as attention seeking behavior.

great. so these fuckheads are thinking "argh! i'm feeling an unbearable emotional pressure after my boyfriend of 2 weeks cheated on me! i shall cut my arms to relive it!" *slash, slash* "eeew, what a bloody mess! i shall cover the puny cuts with some cloth which would become bloody so that people can see it better, then hopefully my boyfriend will love me more."

but why bother cutting yourselves when there are probably 20,000 other ways to cause self harm without having to answer queries about where that scratch on your arm came from, and are more painful, which i'm assuming would help more since more physical pain = more emotional pain relieved.


for one, you can slam the door on your hand/arm/foot/leg/dick/breasts/head/neck/any other extendable part of your body. it's easy, no blood involved, and best of all, you don't have to go around searching for a small and not-so-sharp knife to cut yourself because doors can be found anywhere. and i believe that broken bones/mashed up brains would be more painful than a stupid cut on your arm/breasts/sexual organs.

oh wait, these people do not cut their breasts/sexual organs. in fact, they do not cut any part of their bodies which is covered by their clothes. why? because they need people to see it. it really defeats the purpose if you go on slashing and cutting and no one can see the damage, right? in fact, most do not even slash their wrists, because they could accidently kill themselves if they picked the wrong knife. instead, they cut their arms. bleah, pussies.

however, most slashers (scratchers) would never ever admit that they are trying to get attention. instead, they claim that they are actually trying to kill themselves. that would be even more laughable. cutting of wrists would only cause death if you're acting in a stupid chinese drama, where the troubled teen locks itself in a toilet with a razor and cut itself. and it only dies if it does not engage its peers/parents/teachers/police in a wild goose chase before settling in the toilet, as in the second scenerio, the peers/parents/teachers/police would kick down the door and send it to the hospital.

if people trapped in mountains can cut off their whole arm and still make it down without dying, what makes them think that it's possible to die through severe blood loss through a stupid wound? firstly, i imagine that the blood would clot before all 7 litres of blood flows out. next, i think that they would first die of boredom waiting hours for their blood to drain. "oh fuck, it's been 7 hours and i'm still wide awake. maybe today's not a good day. i'll try again tomorrow."

a nice way to die is by sticking a long screw driver through your eyes and into your brain. there is a risk that you would become a vegetable for life, but that's already almost as good as being dead. alternatively, you could find a tall building and jump off it, and while in mid-air, try to twist your body in such a way that you would land head-first. if you can't find a nice building, don't fret. i can offer you my window for absolutely no charge. 21st storey, success guaranteed.

so next time if you have a sudden urge to injure yourselves, do not think about the knife. think the DOOR. and if you want to kill yourselves, do not think the knife. think the SCREW DRIVER or a nice and tall BUILDING. oh, and if you want attention, go buy an 'I WANT ATTENTION' t-shirt, complete with bold, capatilised and underlined alphabets, sure to get you as much attention as needed. if you can't find one, just write it on a piece of paper with a big black marker and pin it to your shirt. heck, do 2 and pin them on both the front and back for a good measure.
