Welcome to Gaia! ::

i myself think that, well for me anyways, its because of other stuff like stress and things that happen to people that put them over the edge

i agree with that whole stress thing.
i also think that a BIG part of it is how the person grow up. i didn't have the best childhood (like many other) and i've cut before (only 2 times, and it was well over a month ago). and i think that if there is a way to stop abuse and s**t from ever happening, and stopping kids from having to deal with that s**t, then there would be less kids that are pushed over the edge by a break up, or rejection.
it's hard to have your heart broken, but i really don't think that that's enough for someone to do that s**t for. it's that heart break mixed with a painful past (and there fore unstalbe emotions), that causes ppl to act stupidly, and let small things ge to them.

Passive Agressive People do.
I think Media is to blame, however.
I'd tell you why, but...you don't want to know.
And I don't think they would want you to.

Emo kids + Razors = Slit Wrists.

It is the generic equation given to us by Media that listen to Britney Spears. Which is possibly true. Because I know people that do that stuff in the corners of my school. How weird is that kids?

to tell you the truth, i would have never thought of cutting as a way to deal with my emotions....if i never heard of it from the media, i jsut probely would have gone in my room, and cryed for an hour or so...

I know I was doing it in middle school, which (for me) was back waaay before it was a trend.

So I don't think the media is entirely to blame. Some just have funny ways of coping with their problems.
