Until recently I worked with children as a campus/playground supervisor. I see all the different cliques and their different choices of clothing and music and hair. It seems for some of these groups it has become a fad. I don't get it... I never ut myself with knives or anything, but I am a self mutilator. I rip at my scalp and my lips with my fingernails until they bleed. I don't want to do it... I've worked on it and lessened it but I still do it. There is nothing cool about it. Weird thing is, it seems this one clique (not sure what its called but the boys wear these weird skinny pants and their underwear shows and they wear black shirts and weird hair... but they aren't goth so I'm not sure what they are) show off their cuts and scars like badges of honor. Since when is a mental disorder a way of fitting in? I don't get it either.
