A person who will start
cutting themselves, usually not that severe, and then start to go around and letting people they know find out:: 1)letting their sleeves fall on *accident* while everyone is watching. 2) cut at school. 3) show people their cuts. 4) e.t.c
These people usually have nothing wrong in their lives, though some of the times the attention
cutter will start due to a feeling of sadness caused by:: 1) loss of all friends. 2)
parents don't ever pay attention to them at all. 3) feels like a nobody. 4) feels like everyone hates them.
5) feels like a total outcast. 6) e.t.c.
in most cases, when people feel so ignored and
lonely, they'll start to think that the last resort is to
cutting themselves, in order to have people to care for them.
sometimes, the attention cutter will be ignored once more, after people find out they are
cutting for attention, and sometimes when the attention cutter feels so much pain of being
lonely and ignored, they'll transform form to an attention cutter, to a real cutter.
this is why you shouldn't ignore them, instead talk to them, and ask why they are cutting for attention, cause there was always a reason in the first place, and completley pushing these people away, will only make matters worse.
BAD
WAY OF HANDLING THE ISSUE:
"Omfg, guess what Beth keeps doing."
"What?"
"She fucking keeps showing people cuts on her arms all over the school."
"Gross. What an attention
cutter."
"I know. This is why we choose not to friends with her anymore. She always needs attention."
GOOD WAY OF HANDLING THE ISSUE:
"Beth I know you're cutting yourself for attention."
"What made you think that?"
"I know what you're
parents are like."
"Oh."
"You know we can talk about it if you want?"
"Why do you give a fuck."
"Because I
care."
