"ATTENTION CALLS"

As a teenager I know how it feels to want to get attention and fit in with different groups of people. Many teenagers feel that using drugs or drinking alcohol solves a lot of problems. One major problem that a lot of teenagers fear are cutting themselves. I have witnessed many friends that cut themselves. I always try and help them by speaking to them and mentioning to go see a therapist. Many times my friends who are in there teen age years do not listen to other peers because to them “the feel of cutting themselves makes them forget everything that happened”. People need to find other ways to solve there problems so people are not in danger of hurting their bodies. I have witnessed various encounters where my best friend and girlfriend cut themselves. These two people mean a lot to me so helping them is always my main priority.
My best friend lives a hard life. She lives with her mom because her parents are divorced. She has been cutting herself for a few years and never was able to understand why cutting herself was such a big problem. One time I witnessed a horrific time when she decided to cut herself deep threw her arm in front of my face and her own girlfriend. The blood dripped onto the floor like puddles that only grew bigger when my tears collapsed as well. She did not only cut herself deeply she was admitted to the hospital to get stitches. My best friend and I had many talks because I don’t appreciate people that cut themselves. In my opinion, I think people cut themselves for attention.
