I understand......

I now understand what I hadn't before. I use to think that people who cut themselves were so stupid...Like it was just for attention, which in some cases, it is. But, I now understand why most people do it. It's a matter of them not being able to take mental pain but being able to take physical pain. When I say mental pain, I mean things such as bad emotions or even depression. Some people just don't want to face their problems or their pains, so they cut themselves instead. Watching the blood trickle down their arms, as if watching all of their pains wash away. Like they shouldn't have a care in the world anymore. But though they may think it's good for them, it could lead to so much worse. If someone were to cut them self every time something bad happened, and it was only a small problem, imagine what their going to do if something so horrendous happened that they couldn't bare it. They wouldn't just slightly cut themselves. They would slit their entire wrist.......
