Jesus Christ how they change
2006-03-07, 6:27 PM #1
I just found out about an old friend of mine named Lauren. Lauren and i were really close friends from 7th to about halfway into 9th grade. During 8th grade she started to cut herself, and I was always the shoulder that she'd fall back on when she wasn't feeling like she could take it. Then in 9th grade she started to smoke.
Now we're 16, in the 10th grade, and I haven't seen her at school for about a month now.

So today at lunch I find out from a friend of hers that Lauren has dropped out of school and is getting married to her 19 year old boyfriend, who coincidently does cocaine. She only just turned 16...

It really upsets me. She was so pretty and so smart and had so much going for her in life, and now she's throwing it all away. :gbk:

So um...stay in school.
It took a while for you to find me; I was hiding in the lime tree.

Yup, I had a friend who decided weed just wasn't enough, so he started dealing and taking Extasy. After about a year of this, he OD'ed on E. Now, this would have pursuaded anyone in their right mind to STOP taking E, but no, he kept on taking it and making himself more crazy each passing day. We all stopped talking to him (even though he would call now and again, seemingly not getting the hint) and he eventually found other 'friends' who made his problem even worse.

He went from being a witty, strong (extremely strong, one of the toughest people I've ever seen), and intelligent, to nothing more then a weak (he lost so much weight and any ability to defend himself) incoherent fool who would steal the socks off your feet if he could.

My first year teaching (hang on, this IS relevant in spite of how it may look), I had this colossal thug in class. The guy was big, buff, and kinda looked like satan. Oh, did I mention he had been to jail previously for selling/using drugs? Anyway, being the brilliant young man I was, I flunked him. And of course, the Powers That Be put him back in my class. He got his cheerleader-All-A-girlfriend strung out on drugs too. She dropped out of cheerleading and pretty much became a bump on a log.
Her mom, angry over what her daughter had become, came to school and shot up (with a gun) the boys car in the school parking lot. This was less than 100 yards from my classroom! :eek:

people who cut themselves do it for attention.

Odd... I thought this thread was gonna talk about how people were changed by Jesus Christ, but then it dawned on me that it's just another stinking herectic using the Lord's name in vain. I'll leave now.

And, in Ruthven's case, they totally read on the internet that asian women are vampiric.

Yeah. Attention.

Seriously.

If you REALLY wanted to die, you wouldn't slit your wrist.

It'd take too long to bleed to death.

There are some people that don't do it for attention...so I must dissagree with you somewhat.

Cutting gets very addicting. For girls especially.

they dont want to die, self harming creates pain, and the pain makes them feel more alive.

Bull**** excuse.

They want something to brag about. Show people.

Or to fit in.

I've known many many many many many many many, cutters.

They're usually pretty shallow teen angst types.
2006-03-07, 8:21 PM #19
then you know a load of crap stupid people.

Some do it to show off, sometimes its only one person (ie a girl who loves you and you wont go out with her so she cuts herself, that was fun to see... :rolleyes: )

But some of them really do have problems, and dont show anyone.

if(getThingFlags(source) & 0x8){

They want attention.

Some people do it as a form of self-punishment.

I still look back on all of that and shake my head. I prolly should have passed him and just got him out of our school.

There are a plethora of other ways a person can punish themselves that aren't so visible, and easy to notice.

For example, a fat people may start rationing their cupcakes to punish themselves. This however is highly unlikely, because fat people like cupcakes too much.

A failing highschool student, may limit their TV time, or internet gaming time.

There are several other reasonable ways to punish yourself that aren't going to definately get you attention.


Thats all these kids want. So I don't give it to them, untill they cut their hand clean off. Then I can laugh at their nubs.

Your examples are punishment only through will power, which is still punishment but not the best examples "that aren't so visible." Probably forcing yourself to eat untasty crap, refusing to go to the bathroom for awhile, taping your eyes open, punching yourself in the gut, and similar stupid things are more on the line of that idea.

Inflicting harm on yourself doesn't involve willpower?
2006-03-08, 11:41 AM #39
Not if you pay someone else to hit you.

2006-03-08, 11:41 AM #40
I think that takes willpower too.

I mean, why pay someone for something you can do yourself?
