I don't like the principle of cutting for attention, but like Myss I honestly don't believe many people do that, and I don't feel it's my place to judge who's open and who's attention seeking. I don't know half of what's going on in their life; I know I would be absolutely distraught if somebody thought I cut for attention.

There was this huge panic over the emo scene in relation to self-harm. I think it has very little to do with attention or following a crowd. Could it not be that a style of dress is a way of expressing our feelings, wihle cutting is a way of coping with such emotions?

If you'll excuse my using a term I really don't like using, I think the majority of "attention-seekers" actually need attention. They seek attention because something is wrong and they need help. There might be a few who think it's cool to cut but I could never pass judgement over their intentions because I don't know the full story.
