I know a couple of people (some of them close friends) that have cut. Not a single one of them gave me a valid reason as to why they were doing it. Most of them were clearly attention seekers, and the others were merely trying to fit into some emo/scene kid label.
As to whether this girl was doing it for attention or to share her story, none of us can actually know. I mean she looks amazing, I'm sure several girls would be jealous of her, but come on. Who posts a video about cutting themselves? People who are seriously depressed and are going to attempt suicide close to NEVER tell anyone, let alone make a video about it. Why should cutting be any different?
Either way, seeking attention or being depressed, the video gets her point across really well. I was honestly expecting some lame vid about a girl cutting her wrist and bitching, it was a pleasant surprise.
