If your a guy have sex with her and make her feel important.
If your a girl also have sex with her so she feels important.

It's not normal to write depressing poems or cut yourself. It would be nice, though, if you were to do the second one properly, then nobody would worry about you anymore.

Theres too much of this bullshit today just remember one thing its down the road kids not a cross the street

goddamned emos

cutting can be a release, but it leaves scars :(
IN reality all she wants is to be loved, attention, and an escape. By cutting herself she release the emotional turmoil that she feels inside. Seek a doctor...

Cutting is just ehhh how should i put this...Stupid. In fact, any form of self mutilation is idiotic.

I think that you writing depressing poetry is much MUCH better than the latter. And as for your friend, I suggest you continue to pester her. But if she constantly disregards your opinion, then there isn't much you can do. 'cept get ready to read a haulage at her funeral.

i get depressed and like to cut myself, nobody understands me

that was @ the poster wtf

Cutting yourself is really dangerous. Your friend is not looking for attention, but she is obviously going through a really tought time in her life. The best thing you can do is to be there for your friend. Try not to make her feel bad for cutting or make it seem like its stupid for her to be cutting. Its the only way she know's how to deal with the pent up negative emotions she feels. She has to find a healthier way to deal with her feelings. There is a website like this for people who cut, and also for friends and family of people who cut who are worried. There is some great advice there worth looking into, the website is http://buslist.org/phpBB/

As for writing depressing poems, its totally fine. Poetry expresses who you are and the emotions your feeling. Its a healthy way to deal with your feelings. but if you are feeling really depressed talk to someone you trust and try and get some help

being emo isn't normal. you're emo...

try playing video games and doing other stuff.

Writing depressing poetry is normal, it gets out your feeling, especially if you have no one to talk to.

As for your friend...

Hmm, If you're seriously concerned take her to the school councler and maybe she'll stop.

That's a serious thing and can result in death.

Let her know that the scars never go away. Ever. And all you can do is wear long sleeves, even in the dead of summer. And you can never go swimming because you'll have to wear a bathing suit. And you'll get questions from people and they will constantly tell you to go see a shrink.

But most importantly, those scars will always be there. Little purple stripes that constantly remind you of the time you hit rock bottom.

Try writing about a happy memory to start with and see how you go its not your fault your dad beat you!!!

Hey! I write poems instead too. I don't want to cut myself, I think it's stupid. But for now, I've written...dunno, 10 poems? And I write stories instead too.

yea what ever floats yo boat, as long as you dont harm yourself, there may be some poets who might actully like your material

Writing depressing poems is way better than cutting your wrist.
It's wierd when you find out other people cut. Brings up a lot of personal questions. Writing poetry is about expressing emotions, in a lot of people, cutting is about avoiding it.
Which one is more healthy.

If you ever want to cut, get an elastic band, put it around your wrists, and flick it hard.
It's been shown to be more effective, and doesnt leave scars.

well if there writing depressing poetry in order to NOT cut there wrists then id say its fairly normal.
if they cut themselves instead of writing poetry its also normal.
being normal is an odd thing because how does one define it. 1 in every 20 people have harmed themselves in life so you cant outcast them.

cheers!

If she is anywhere between preteens to mid-twenties, it isn't "normal" but it is common. Most depressed girls go through this as either a phase or a problem to make their life feel better. Either because they feel their life is out of control and their body is the only way they can control their life. Cutting is mostly about control. Try to let her have a bit more control in her relationship with you, whatever it may be, give her choices.

As for the poetry, lots of people write depressed poetry. And some are famous for it! Poetry is a way of harmless expression, it shouldn't be a problem, work on stopping her from harming herself. Don't tell her to stop, because she won't. Just try and be patient, give her choices, and be there for her. Once she sees how things are, she'll start stopping. Or she'll at least want to stop.
