That therapist worries me greatly. It seems very unconventional, and not in a good way. Have you told your therapist how uncomfortable this makes you?

Well kids at our school just talk about it all the time it's a 'hot topic' I guess. The news is splattered with suicide cases 24/7, it's always someone else who tried to end their life, and the recent buzz of Demi Lovato's self harming is like fossil fuel right now for a bunch of SI kids. It's like a secret club everyone wants to belong to, like, seriously? Wtf... I just don't understand how they can think these things...
And yes, I think that my friend says those things to gain self esteem, but she has other things to actually proud of.
