What do we think of self harmers?
Are they just "normal people" who come from all sorts of social backgrounds and use it as a way to release?
Are they people we meet everyday?
Are they mentally ill people who need serious help?
Are they just freaks?
Attention seekers?
What should be done about it?
Do they deserve help?
Can they be helped?
What do we know of self harm?
What does it entail?

Me? I was just trying to be helpful. The one danger with posting something like this in a chat forum like this one, as opposed to the ID forum, is that people won't take it seriously and just provide jokey replies, which I thought would be doing more harm than good.
Still, it's a credit to how this forum has settled down that you do actually have some good replies.
And there was me just trying to help, excuse me while I go and cry in the corner now...

I was gonna say something, but Nin seems to be making a good job of pointing out your stupidity.
Oh, and welcome to the forums!
Oh, and welcome to the forums!
Your arrogance is astounding but maybe i shouldn't be suprised if you're a teacher (unless you lied, or course).
Anonymity has it's benefits both ways and you should know better than to assume you know me from this. Your assumptions have been lazy from the start because you came in here thinking you know it all. I do assume thats the only reason you decided to start posting after being registered a year, because it was your chance to impress and make a good first impression in a topic you may know something about?
I was perfectly polite until you wrongly assumed i was on the attack and even now your conceit and arrogance wont let you accept you're way off the mark.
Now i doubt you'll want to acknowledge this but i actually encouraged getting back on topic at the end of my last post. Of course you wouldn't have seen that because i'm clearly only here for a fight and couldn't possibly want to get back on with the topic that i wanted in the first place.
I'm thankful i'm not one of your students. I'd walk out if i had someone with your attitude teaching me.

Sorry Nin, you're far too tiresome to go searching for, you managed several insults in as many lines. Your traits are easily read, you are rude, slightly obnoxious, obviously like and generate conflict, short tempered and irrational -- if you'd bother reading your own post you were already dismissing Prilly before I arrived in the topic and your short outbursts are very telling.
I know you're a psychology student (unless you lied, of course) but you have absolutely no idea what I've been doing for the last 35 years or so (anonymity has it's benefits remember?) but if you were one of my students, you career in psychology would be short.
This is obviously your personal area/thread or space, so I'll leave you to it.

And maybe giving career advice and assuming you know my character traits after being here 5 minutes is something you should reconsider. You couldn't have got me more wrong and if i seem otherwise it's because i find your two-bit assumptions about me lazy and immensely irritating.

The topic doesn't irritate me, i wanted a conversation about it (As you'd have found out if you'd spent 30 seconds looking around).

It means read the other thread where i encouraged this one. :@

Other thread sweetness? what does that mean?
Assuming this is in response to my post? if it is, you might want to reconsider your chosen career direction... it's not exactly sympathetic/empathic, caring or open, some of the traits I would have thought useful for a psychologist.
And, do you have to be here? if the thread/topic irritates you why do you monitor it? are you moderating? (genuine question)

Other thread sweetness.
Bloody newbies. I did what she asked, encouraged this topic and i'm still getting this crap. You should go and post this on Pock*tM*nkey, i bet you'll get loads of nice replies there :@

Hi Nin, looking at the message at the top of the thread, it seemd Prilly had started it. ?She has admitted to being a self harmer., so it seems to me, she/he is looking for how 'we' view self harmers.
My wife is often saying that low self esteem is an underlying issue for the majority of self harmers so for Prilly this may be a way of 'finding his/her place' and hopefully improving self esteem.

Erm... i was the one who encouraged talking about it on here in the first place and yes i know, i'm a psychology student. I was explaining why no-one has taken the chance.
