[QUOTE="Anaheimfan, post: 223364, member: 6263"] The scary thing is this doesn't surprise me...This is right under "branding" on my list of completely dangerous (not to mean downright stupid) practices. I've seen the whole Pencil Lead thing mentioned in the story, only I saw someone stick the lead into their gums and break it off (this was of course followed by "Why do my gums hurt so bad?") Sometimes, I really wonder what drives them to do this sort of thing...I've heard the old "It helps me feel something" and "It makes me feel clean" and all that jazz...And I know that it can be a cry for attention, I now find it hard to tell the difference between a genuine Suicide attempt and someone just carving themselves up for attention. Or is it a "Everyone around me is <cutting themselves, shoving paper clips into their arms, branding themselves, eating broken glass> so I should too" kinda thing? It really, really worries me, this downward spiral of people finding new and inventive ways to mame themselves...What's next? [/QUOTE]
