'Oh he/she/they're doing it for attention, I'm not going to help them'
Well that makes you a horrible person. Even if that is what you think, and even if it so happens to be true, they still need help. It's a cry for help. I speak from my own experience. I would cut myself for attention because I needed help and no one would listen to me if I just used my voice. Some people need other things to ask for help. While is sucks and it is sad that people have to result to harming themselves, maybe it's their only way to get help. Someone who is hurting themselves, should never be ignored or brushed off. Ever. All these people who post about their mental issues and things they are struggling with, its usually a cry for help, or to vent. it's not just for attention. The attention they usually want, is help. Yes unfortunatly there are pick me's who are just wanting attention, but they need help too if they are doing that. Issues lie deeper than the surface.
