List: Infliction's Addiction

All of the poetry I have written while coping with the addiction.

Facts:

1. Yes it IS an addiction.
2. I did NOT do it for attention.
3. I did NOT do it because I was suicidal.
4. I did NOT do it because I only cared about myself.
5. I did NOT do it because I was "afraid" of facing my problems.
6. I did NOT do it because I was "emo".
7. I DID do it to fit in AT FIRST for maybe a week, but that's not the reason why I kept doing it. The point is, it is NOT just a fad.
8. There are many reasons why people hurt themselves and those who do it for attention, because they're suicidal, selfish, cowardly, or because they think it's "cool" give people with real problems a bad name.
9. No it is NOT the best way to deal with problems and it does NOT help, but sometimes, some people don't realize that there are other options because it's the only thing they've found that "helps". That does NOT make them bad people at all.
10. You don't know what they have been through, what their life is like, how they deal with problems, or how they handle stress. You have no right to judge them for harming themselves and telling them that they're selfish, attention seeking, emo, stupid, or cowardly is NOT going to help them stop. The best you can do it support them and try to show them a healthier way while portraying that it hurts you to see them hurt themselves. Negativity will make the urge that much stronger; positivity is the only way to help.

I do not have this list up for a debate. I have it here to let others going through this know that they are not alone, that they can beat this, and that there IS a better way. I am an ex-cutter and the urge no longer haunts me. Don't tell me I don't know what I'm talking about. That only portrays your own ignorance.
