People that self-harm, or cut themselves, are selfish and attention seeking

"That you wish to shame or degrade people who choose to do so" I had never actually meant to shame and degrade those who choose to do so and I do not see how it may have cameacross that way. I do not believe they deserve to be shamed or degraded these actions start from past painful experiencesI am not a person who would add on those problems I'd like to bring up two statistics (The resource link can be found below them)-90 percent of people who engage in self harm begin during Teenage years or pre-adolescent year-Many of those who self injure report learning how to do so from friends or pro self injury websites http://www.healthyplace.com... The people who choose to do this are often Teen or Pre Teen so we can say they are very young and inexperienced on how to handle tough situations so the self harm comes up. Immaturity is what should be brought up it is immature to handle these type of situations this way. I have had problems with mental health in the past and self harm came up but the way I saw it was I have so much pain at the moment so why make more but again this was my own opinion. Life will throw much more problems at you in your life sad fact it won't stop. You as a person have to stand up and realize it's time to make a mature decision and seek help. I myself am not 100% mature yet I still make stupid decisions and will probably continue to do so for a while. But tough times call for a clear mind as hard as it can be. Self Harming is nothing more than a horrible band-aid you can hurt yourself till you're raw but it will never really solve the problem it will often lead to suicide. I myself hate that these sort of things get popularized I have a graph to show that it has actually risen in the past years like a trend. When researching on the topic I had to look everywhere some places put down the trend and others even glorified it I have to admit it was quite confronting, searching Google I saw the following popular searches. self harm tips and tricks ways to self harm pro self harm I don't want to think about how many would have searched these but they where some of the popular queries yet there was one search that hardly showed up and it was to help solve the issue. I never actually new there was people who gave away tips now they should be shamed one bad attempt can go haywire and leave a poor innocent kid dead that someone who hopefully had a good life ahead of them but nothing could ever really of been known. This seems more like its own sub culture it has it's fans and those who tend to hate it. I feel that some kids have joined this as a fad to join to try and find where they belong. Some say I shouldn't be talking about it because I've never really had any experience with the issue and they'd be correct I really wouldn't see it as they did but my experience is through witnessing the subject. Being an outsider gave me an outlook from someone of neither side I automatically hated it though to me my friends and even a sibling where hurting themselves I cant stand seeing them in pain witnessing them go through depression was enough let alone them physically hurting themselves but I will continue with real experiences in the next debate.
