Today I was sitting in class and I just picked up this needle thing and started running it up and down my arm. I don't know why but then I started scratching myself with it really badly so that I had marks all over my arm. After school, my boyfriend saw but he made a joke of it. I think I did it because I want attention because my parents don't really give me any. I was really upset that my boyfriend didn't care, does it show that he doesn't care about me? Everybody that saw what I had done just ignored me.

well for 1 thing you do want attention and people i think are ignoring you because getting attention by scratching yourself is bad...get help!

Maybe the people don't show that they see it because they are afraid that it will hurt your feelings you should just tell your parents that you did that and why you think that you did and maybe they will give you attention!!! There is other ways to get attention than scratching yourslef with a needle that doesnt help that just scares people away!!

Well it could mean he didnt car ebut things like this scare people... it frightens them to know that your hurtuing yourself. They nmight try to make a joke out of it becuase they want it o be a joke... they dont want to belivev it is true.

possibly for a lot of people cut themsleves.
Why do your parents ignore you??Are they so self absorbed?
Do not do this. Just becasue your paresnt do not realise what a great person you..are..does not mean that others do not. You have a great duy...relize that some parents just should not have become ones..and just try to brush off your feelings of hurt. My father once told me he wished i was not born!! Ok..but to me..he is the loser..for HE missed out..on me...just like your parents are MISSING out on YOU!!
So stop the cutting..tune the elder loser out..and enjoy your guy....

No of Course he cares about you, I have found my slef doing this many of times. i just get bored and it happens. I have a horrible life so maybe thats why. But I think ur BF does care he just didnt know what to say... maybe he didnt know u even inflected it on urself. Talk to your parents about you attention craving

Your boyfriend isnt really a good bf if he isnt atleast the slight worried about you. If everybody saw what u had done maybe they KNEW you were doing it for attention and didnt count it as some serious issue. Do you really feel cutting is the answer? because it isnt. not even to get attention. do u really want people to feel sorry for you? i wouldnt. i have so many friends that have cut themselves and trust me it doesnt help. does cutting yourself realy take away the pain? no it doesnt. and cutting yourself just for attention isnt good either. I think thats the reason why nobody took it seriously. becuase they knew you were only doing it for attention. Thats probably the reason why your boyfriend didnt react in the way you thought he should of. but i dont think it was right of him to just ignore you or make fun of u for it. he should of been worried. not making it into some kind of joke. maybe you should talk to him. hope i helped

Talk to a counsiler. You are depressed or something and I think you need to talk to someone. I've tried it before but stopped myself aftert talking to someone. Dump your boyfriend, if he doesn't care or notice your in trouble he doesn't deserve you!
I hope this helps leave one in my inbox,

If u didnt actually make urself bleed, then thats why ur friends and ur boyfriend probably didnt think much of it..NOT THAT IM SAYING THAT U SHOULD MAKE URSELF BLEED.. u need to find other ways to get attention.. if u dont already play a sport then start a sport at ur school or something and then ur bf and ur parents can come watch u play and u will be getting attention that way!

odnt pick up things that you dont no what they are. i sure you boyfrien loves you . he was kidding . go to a doctor if it get worst .p.s. your parents love you , dont worry

Are you sure you just weren't bored? But if it was more then that, I'm sure your boyfriend just didn't realize it. If he saw that you had been depressed lately he most likely *I'm not sure tho bc i don't know the guy* would have been more concerned. He may have just thought that you were bored! HOpe I helped!

well first of all..stop doin tht you can hurt yourself and mite even cause a very bad thing to happen to you. but about the boyfriend..mayb he thinks tht you want attention so hes not gunna give it to you...just cuz your hurtin yourself..but i wud think about it..i mean by doin tht you cud liek die and i think he shud care for you so much tht he cares about if you die bcuz 'if you wanna call it cutting' is a serious thing thtt can cause deathh..

I think you need a new boyfriend. Excuse me for being blunt but the perfect guy would appreciate you and notice you. I bet you are very nice and deserve much better. The ideal guy would notice something like that. I think you should end the relationship even if it feels bad and set your sights higher. You deserve the best!

Well, I will try to do the best I can. I can honestly say I don't know why they are ignoring you. I've had 4 friends with the same problem, and they did do it for attention... and believe me, they got it, but it wasnt how they expected it to be, I think you shouldn't do it for attention, because for one, it hurts terribly, and for two, many people don't understand why someone would do such a thing, maybe thats why your boyfriend ignored you and other people ignored you, because they dont know why you would want to harm yourself, if something is bothering you and you don't know another way to help yourself out, you should talk to someone, ask someone for help... just dont harm yourself.. but no.. I'm sure your boyfriend LOVES you... just dont harm yourself and make a scene... hope this helps, i really do..

He probally was just having an off day. im sure he wouldnt go out with you if he didnt care about you .. give it time .. need more help im me x0x Danielle 095

well maybe they are wondering why you did it. just ignore them if they ignore you. u dont have to care wut they think if u no u were mad about something. they dont no that unless u tell them.

i used to do the same thing and basically for the same reason, because i thought nobody cared and nobody pays attention to me. Sometimes you may be right but no matter what u have to live through and see what life has to offer. I'm sure your boyfriend loves you and everything, but i think he didn't know how to deal with it so he did it through humor to make it known that he notices and he cares about you. Your parents do care or else they would not care about anything you do or have even bothered to raise you well. I stopped because people kept getting mad at me for it and and i just had to stop for myself. i know now hat suicide is a stupid option and too many people will miss you even though you may not think so.

They might not think it is that serious and that you probably got the scratches from something else.Your boyfriend might have just not wanted to think that you would do that to yourself.Hope I helped!

Maybe they don't know how to react, or maybe they don't understand why you would do that to yourself. Try to talk about your feelings instead of hurting yourself. There are better ways of getting attention from your parents. Just please don't hurt yourself anymore.

Maybe he made a joke about it bc maybe he did not know what else to say. He cares, he just does not know how to say it in words so he makes a joke about it. Im sure that all it is.
good luck!!

first of all, inflicting pain upon you're self is no way to go about getting attention, but i have a friend who does the same, so i can understand where the misconception comes in. it is very possible that your boyfriend didn't seem to care because he's uncomfortable with the situation of self-mutilation, and didnt know how to react to it, and when that's the case, most people just joke about it, to try and lighten the mood. i can guarantee you that everyone who saw what you did didn't ignore you, they were just too confused to know what to say, and if that's the case, the easiest way to deal with something like that is to pretend it didn't happen. with my friend, she would cut herself, and then call me and tell me what she did. i made her promise to talk to me about what was going on first, and then to go see a psychologist or social worker, or some professional who can give her the help she needed. in you're case, all it seems that you crave is a little attention. that can be easliy cured by throwing a party (cleared by your parents of course), and inviting a whole bunch of people. or, maybe all you need to do is confide in a friend, and tell them what's bothering you, becasue maybe there's some deeper issue here that you just can't see yet. if none of that helps, i would highly suggest going to a see a psychologist or psychiatrist, because they can help you understand what's wrong, and you can get the attention you want without having to cut yourself. i hope this helped, and please keep me updated

ur unloved! hehe!

I used tio cut myself and trust me!!! It doent do anything for you except hurt you. I did it for attention and to get rid of some of my agression. It got me attention but it never got rid of my agression. Your boyfriend laughs about it and makes jokes because he doesnt know what else to do about it. The same goes for every one else who ignores it they dont know what to do about it. Like I said, it doesnt do anything for you except hurt you. Hope I helped! ~Candy the Wiccan

whoa. first off inflicting harm upon yourself is not a smart way to get attention. It sounds like this is something that just started and what you described in your post could be the beginning of a serious and terrible habit. Your boyfriend making a joke of it shows that he is uncomfortable with the issue of self inflicted harm. If you continue to do this please seek medical help. Your problem could escalate into something serious and deadly! Best of luck! Please let me know how everything works out.
