if you need medical treatment - get it. don't worry about what may or may not be said.
as for "the attention" thing, personally i think ppl say that who don't understand.
I've seen a scar pack in albertsons... looks like a big bandaid with i guess scar cream in it? haven't tried it but thought about it.
kiya
oh and there are tons of ways that fall under "self injure" -again ppl don't know or can't comprehend.
take care of yourself!!
