because they are actors as the real people didnt want to be on camera. everything that was said is from the actual interview with a self harmer. however the actors were mainly taught for theatre which is why it is so over the top.
@pixiekimmy aah thanks for the reply. i did wonder if they were actors but seriously they're not very good, even if you're in a theatre you have to be believable.
i havent cutt myself in over 2 years now but honestly it is one of those things i just cannot forget about and sometimes i want to so bad but i know that if i do it will be even worse than it was befor and to be honest just watching things like this is soo hard, because i want so badly to never do it again but i just remember how it made everything go away.
The girl with blonde hair is so fake, haha. Like the way she talks.
But anyways, with all seriousnis.. Seriousnis? Whatever, umm I think she's right, if you've got someone to talk to about things it could help you alot.
I don't self injure, but, I think it's serious. I'll disagree with the "It's not attention seeking" though, most the time it's not, but you can't deney people don't do it for attention. =/
heyy em i was reading through the comments and yours made me stop, it confused me i cut and it confused me how you can put yourself through it for attention? and why didnt people just rip the shit out of you? please reply as id like to know and understand why x
In some cases kids are either being verbally abused or don't get enough attention from the parents, and it makes them feel like their not loved by the biggest influences in their life--their parents. They feel worthless and convince themselves everything is worse than it is, so in order to get that sympathy and attention they cut themselves to feel loved. Though other people just do it for no reason really. You can never tell why a kid does it.
I'm working on a documentary about this issue for my final year college project but I is proving rather difficult...... not from an information standpoint but in terms of technique.. I want to present more than just talking heads..
i knew it! you can tell tht blonde girl is an actor that is so patronising. how dare you. i find tht really really personally offensive. thats really sick. dont pretend to understand if u dont.
although mowlie1 may not have stated their point in the best way the point that self harmers feel that people who haven't done it don't truly understand is a valid one and they are not necessarily wrong to think/feel that.
iv had enough rubbish about this film and i know it was done worng by using actors but i am working on making a new one at some point when i have some time. to be honest i understand there point but to start saying its sick and taking it out on me is not fair eaither. none of you know why i made this film and to tell me i dont understand is actually offensive, i would not do something like this if i did not understand
i didn't once rubbish your film or even say it wasn't good or you shouldn't have used an actor. Finding a self harmer willing to be on film for a college documentary may not be a realistic goal.
They shouldn't have called you sick and as i said the way the point of view was expressed was not the best. You may indeed understand this subject very well, you may have been affected by self harm, i was merely saying that it can be a vaild point to say that unless a person has self harmed they don't fully understand. There was really no need to be so defensive with me.
yeh im sorry i got defensive. they interview with the "self harmer" was a actual interview the questions i asked and the answers i got unfortunatly the footage i had from the interview was bad so had to impervise as had a deadline. i am re making it soon and i have someone agreed to do it. :)
sorry; I ran out of characters. about why I shouldn't. I tried to stop. It was a struggle. I usually don't, but, like any sinner, I backslide from time to time.I don't THINK there was a definitive cause, just... masochism, mainly.
i can relate that my mother if we ever spoke about she would have said that its a sin and then ground me cuz that would have helped right? your feelings are valid and feeling guilty isn't gonna help you so don't let anyone make you feel guilty just know that if you continue your losing a part of yourself that is hard to get back that i am sure your aware of. besides if its just masochism your after and absolutely no depression behind it there is another world and culture for that its s/m. :)
i don't feel guilty, and if i continue then i see it where i'm actually keeping a part of who i really am and not covering it with a mask of bullshit just for the sake of "being normal" i'd love any of your comments(really. i'm not just saying it as an expression.)
i wasn't being a b*tch with the s/m comment i was serious its just a safer way. I am not sure what your reply means and i am glad you don't feel guilty :)
i used to do this. you're right my mom thought it was just attention-seeking. i had been hiding it in various ways I had a long-sleeved jacket which I wore, and when I couldn't wear it I had some skin-toned makeup which I used to cover the cuts, burns, and bruises on my arms. despite these lengths I went to, or maybe because of them, my mother noticed something and started to watch me closer. once the makeup wore off. I didn't notice, but she did. she gave me a HUGE GODDAMN LECTURE.
if i tell someone that I self harm.. i think ppl would either leave me or pretend that everythings ok even if it's not. that they will be disgusted by thought that i hurt myself. my partents would peobably put me in a mental hospital and isolate me..that's why I'm afraid... i have no one that i can trust with this secret... I lie to everyone.. ihate myself for that
i'm 16 and I've been self harming for 2 years...i hide my scares aswell. don't want the attention
it is from a script because there actors as i had some problems with the filming and one of the people didnt want to be on camera i am working on re-making the film but am currently doing other projects as well
self mutilation is NOT attention seeking. most people do it because they have no one to turn to and they feel alone. some have so many emotions inside and can't express and just need a release. SOME people do it for attention and those who do are just stupid.
honestly I think that if someone self harm for attention they need help aswell, Just because you do it for attention doesn't mean you it's not as bad as people that hide it, It could be a scream for help. I never show any of my scars to anyone but I would never judge someone for doing it,
it is not attention seeking alot of people who do harm themselves hide it from other people as they feel ashamed.dont get me wrong i know some people who do it for attention but the majority of people who do self harm do it for a reason and these people need help and not to be put in the same catergory as the attention seekers.
it is not just people classed as emos that harm themselves all sorts of people do and most of them for a reason which has effected them and they don't know how else to cope, it is people like you that are just narrow minded and think that everyone who does harm themselves are emo that stops people with real problems getting help, if you dont support this issue then thats fair enough, don't put people down over your opinions though
Thank you for posting this, I have tried to help these people for years on the internet, ANY help makes a difference. I am a former self injurer I cut and burned for fifteen years, stopped over eight years ago. YOU CAN stop Self injury, there is HOPE.
I'm a self harmer and I been going on the computer alot to realive my stress and making videos on how i've been feeling. I want to thank you for making this video because its making me think right now not to self harm my self anymore and that its not a cry for attention, I just always thought it was a cry for help. good job making this video.
Im a self harmer and found that writting poetry or any feeling onto paper and giving the to people that care about you, to show them how you feel...sometimes they still wont get it, but its worth a try!
i am very pleased you made this video. i am recovering from cutting myself and an eating disorder right now. thank you. i hope people realise it is not a cry for attention but a disease filled with miserable hatred towards the body.

Do you have anyone who you can trust your LIFE with?
Who won't talk to you in a non-judgemental way?
Possibly a friend?
If you have no-one, then call a suicidal hotline. I've been cutting myself, but I'm slowly stopping. Please get help.
