Do you think people who self harm or threaten suicide are attention seekers? I personally think so. People do this so they can get remorse from other people, or to seem like they are significant some how. In my school, I know at least 5 girls who cut themselves, then brag about it on facebook or twitter. It's utterly pathetic. So what do you think?
@Aislinn well you need some kind of attention to get help. Some tell their family, and some announce it on Facebook. Those who announce it on FB, are attention seekers
@Noelle Novelty you make a good point.
@Woof Woof People who commit suicide, are genuinely depressed, or hurting inside but they just go the extra mile to have attention because nothing is gonna matter when they're dead. It's why there are so much gun violence in schools.
