its true, shouldnt do it no matter what. but some people dont realise this, some people do believe it does relieve them of the shit in their life, but it doesnt. and some people dont realise this till they do it themselves. but yeah. it is stupid. really stupid.

and i dont think you need to have uncontrollable mental illness. depression can push some people into suicide mode or self hate mode, which can lead to self inflicted pain.
people just need to take a closer look at their lives and see that its not pointless, that they're not worthless, and get a hobby =P
