One of my friends had quite the bad day.
Some ***** from our school showed everyone her tumblr which was quite personal. She had stuff about her self harm and her suicidal thoughts. Now they’re all calling her an attention seeker and she’s so upset she won’t come back to school until Monday.
I feel like I should be doing something to help. I feel like I should be yelling at these dickheads and showing them my wrists to show that people who self harm are not attention seekers as we do our best to hide our cuts.
I want to be useful to her. I want to show the scum at school that it’s not as easy as it looks.
Any suggestions?

People called me an attention seeker too, once I was sent to the hospital. I wouldn’t show people your scars though. I understand how you just want to get them to see how stupid they are but that’s not the way. I would definitely stick up for your friend and yell at the dickheads, but don’t bring trouble upon yourself by showing your scars. They will just say the same things about you if you do.
if i were you i would walk up to them and tell them the truth and whatever is on your mind. Say many people self-harm and that they are runing this girls life.
Don’t put your life online for all to see. Though that is too late now.
Show support for your friend and hopefully in time things will get better, in the meantime, get rid of tumblr, twitter, Facebook and live offline for a while. See how it feels
Kick their a$$es im a self harmer and i dont want anybodys attention!
Never post anything on any website that you wouldn’t say or show at city hall. If here is even ONE person you don’t want to know about something you say or see a picture – DON’T post it … because it WILL get to that one person if you do … it WILL.
Help your friend by being her friend … be with her, be there for her, LISTEN.
you can yell ans scream and beat up the assholes/dickheads … but they’ll STILL be dickheads … so it’s a waste of time and energy.
sorry dawg
Go and give her a hug and tell her your experiences. You might become lifelong best friends because of it. Every cloud has a silver lining.
It’s a cruel world huh. Sometimes I wish I could get selective amnesia. But then we would not have developed the defences that help protect us.
reveal somthing private of theirs or just punch them with a roll of quarters hidden in your fist
Thank you everyone for you input!
My friend should be okay soon, she’s deleted her tumblr and is taking a few days off school. I am just ready to yell at whoever calls her an attention seeker around me.
Thanks once again you beautiful people!
