It could be anything. Attention seeking is the most common of them all. A friend of mine wrote his gf's name in his hand with blade. Stress could be the reason. Although smoking/drugs are more common affects of stress. Self loathing is another possibility. There are times when you hate yourself and want to do some sort of self harm. My reason was a combination of self loathing and attention seeking. It was a way for me to say "look how displeased I am with myself". It really scares your parents.Why you do that ? Like what's the psychology behind teens doing that ? Stress ? Attention seeking ? Or just self loathing?
Well I am who I am. You see backbiting and talking bad about your teacher/boss is quite common. You see when you talk with your friends or a friendly co-workers, this just happens. Talking how shitty person your boss is or what kind of unreadable code he gave you to debug is quite common among co-workers. Then you start talking how idiot/incompetent he is and get into his personal life of which you have very little idea. I don't know about others. But for me its quite common.Backbiting , disrespecting teachers , drugs may seem nothing to you but belive me , these things can be injurious to you and your mind.
I've no right to force u but just as a well wisher. . Please leave these things .
I am not into drugs. Not yet. But yeah smoking is a habit I got into early. Leaving it is good but not that easy. Specially when you are stressed with work and other issues it is like your only friend. If you haven't smoked then you won't understand.
