if you're suicidal you should join the army that way you can see what you really have and appreciate and not whine and complain about every little thing
Suicidal people are not often thinking rationally. They want to end their lives. They don't just want to do something else. Many of them have a mental illness. What you are basically saying is they should buck up and look on the bright side and it will all get better. This is just as ignorant as the original comparison made in the picture. What I think you are trying to say is people who tell others that they are "suicidal" just to get attention should stop whining and complaining. I agree with this a little bit more. Attention seeking whores are some of my least favourite people.
Her cuts ain't even that bad... Ive done worse. I know there's no limit, no good and no bad to cutting. But "real bravery?" Come on... people on the army risk their lives for their country and want to live for a purpose. And then you are throwing all their hard work and lives away by killing yourself for the bad guys. There may be demons, but they can always be fought. All I'm saying is -- stay strong and join the army.
If the men in that picture saw this, I would hope they'd pistol whip that bitch. Or maybe they'd see what they're protecting and throw down their guns.
Bravery is about facing the world even though you may be a little scared. Bravery is accepting tough changes in your life, and making the most of it. Whether you're a 30 year old army veteran, or just a girl half that age, you CAN be brave. Just don't ruin your chances to be able to look yourself in the mirror and feel proud.
Are you fucking kidding me? Those men are brave because they risk their lives to help their country and don't intentionally hurt themselves. That girl purposefully hurts herself, why is that brave?
What is bravery? Bravery is getting beating, bruised, abused, pushed to breaking point every day being told you'll never accomplish anything but still standing there with a smile on your face ready to live life and not cut yourself out of pure self pity
( even I agree that was quite harsh and unfair for people with depression, feel free to downvote me )
I understand how some people genuinly feel the best way to help is to self-harm, but don't call it brave, for God's sake. Don't define yourself by your pain, then call yourself brave, that's REAL stupidity.
Personally ( and From expierence) Its Bravery, and wasteful shit. Now, what I mean is that, people who are suicidal, cant see the good in their lives. While theyre taking their lives, others are givin their lives, so you can live. Now being suicidal is difficult, feeling as if the whole world is against you, but its not. There are people gambling their lives and their families, so you can live. That is what keeps me going.
I think all of you should stop talking bad about people who cut. Some of is aren't like that. Yes I'm suicidal and I cut but I think people who think like that girl in the picture are absolutely ridiculous.
Okay. Let's get on this topic if you're suicidal, you're not brave, if you were brave you wouldn't hurt yourself. I hurt myself. I am joining the military when I get out of college. Military men and women are a fajillion times braver than suicicdal kids.
I think we need to differentiate between attention whores like this and people who are actually suicidal or self harming. If you are suicidal or self harming you are brave, just a different kind of brave to soldiers and of course soldiers are brave. You are brave if you live through the day with the kind of things that plague me and many other people, for me I can liken it to a civil war but within myself, for soldiers it's a war with very extreme physical and emotional effects, everybody should respect their bravery whereas for the suicidal and self harming their personal emotional struggle should be recognised and helped.
That's an opinion- I am a cutter. I am not a coward- yes I'm afraid. BUT I am not weak- I'm strong, to have gone through what I have and not gone insane yet.
I hate that! People who are like "I cut myself." Then their "cuts" are just little cat scratches, barely big enough to bleed. If you're gonna do it, do it right, bitches.
