I think alot of people that do it really do need help, but some do it because they think it makes them look cool. I really hate talking about this, but when I was 13 I started cutting myself. I have scars all over my arms, and they are very ugly. I was very sad all the time, and when I cut myself it made all of my stress go away. Then I started to get addicted to it, and I did it almost every day. I ended up going to a mental hospital when I was 14, and I was diagnosed with major depression and ADHD. I still did it after I got out. I stopped taking my medicine, too. I still have a hard time with it, but it is better than it was. I used to do it almost every day, but now I do it once every few months... I know I am not doing it as much, and that makes me believe that one day I will completely stop. I can't wait! I never want to do it again.
I think that the famous people that do it on stage are trying to say they need help. They do it because someone will see them and offer to help them. But, the fans that see it probably think they should copy it just to be like their favorite singer. I think anyone that does it needs to get help.
