My parents believe for anything like depression, bipolar, eating disorders, gender identity disorder, self harm, sometimes even some schizophernic, dissociative and personality disorders.
"They wouldn't do it if the media didn't glorify being a freak." Said my dad.
"Absolutely, they wouldn't think up any of this garbage if they hadn't seen it somewhere else before. It's sick." Said mother dearest.
Why is it sick?
"Because some people have real problems like cancer. And some people are starving in the world. And some people go through absolute S**t, like child abuse, the loss of a parent, and they don't resort to attention seeking habits."
I've heard it from them a couple of times. One of the few times I think "Why the hell am I cutting myself? It's not me I can't stand."
