This is probably my favorite song by Garbage. I think it to be beautiful, soulful, kind and understanding. By the way, please excuse the spelling- im terrably dyslexic :)
Drummerchic, moose49 and errky39 as a masters student with a major is psychology I feel that I must try and make you see, that frowning and being annoyed at issues like self-harm, is both un-kind and ignorant.
Self-harming is a serious mental dissorder, one that unfortunally affects many people. It is a disorder that is more common in women and affects more than 4% of the worlds population. It is appparent in all ages, from little children to senior citezens.
I do understand why this issue has happen to annoy you so. I think anynone who went to school remembers that highly annoying clasmate who during one art lesson took a pair of scizors and cut herself, and when you painically demanded what on eath she thought she was doing, she replied with an air of imagined safastication 'oh, that. It's nothing. Dont worry about it..I just...like to see how much I bleed. Carry own with your drawing, dont worry about me'. Well something along those lines.
However, although most school children do practice self-harm as a plea for attention, I would suggest that if someone feels the need to that to themselves just to be noticed, than it is pretty obvious that they are having a pretty shit time in their lives, and instead of puffing and sticking up our noses, it is much more productive not to mention helpful to try and reach out to them and try and cheer them up so that they stop this hihgly unhealty practice.
Also, ifor most young adults and older people, self-harm is to them, what appologising is to you. They feel a lot of guilt but have no way of atoning for whatever bad deeds they have done. Self-harm is more often an act of self-punishemnt. Usually administrated by emphatetic and low-self-esteem charcters. Cutting, mutulation and in very extreme cases as amputation, it is a means of extreme release and an act of forgivness towards themselves.
It is also more commonly found in people who have little control of various aspects of theis lives. Be it that their partner, parent or employer pays little to no attention to their wishes and desires. However, instead of trying to fix this or remove themselves from under those peoples influence, self-harmers tend to believe that it they are to blame for being weak and punish themselves instead.
I hope that this has been at least somewhat helpful and insightful. :)
