1.What did you think of SI before you even started?
Urm, I was too young to really be aware of it (at 10/11 yo) I met just one girl who self harmed before I started and a lot of girls asked her questions about it but I told them to give her a break and thought they were odd for being so curious. So she cut herself? big deal. But I think I was depressed at the time anyway, so maybe I sympathised. I think I thought SH was a lot more closley related to suicide though, and I could sympathise with wanting to die, I didn't really see it as a way of coping.
2.What did you think of the people who did it?
I thought they were suicidal or depressed, and I felt sorry for them, but also like I could relate even as a person who at that time had never self harmed.
3.If you have seen SI scars on people how did you react to them?
Now or then? Now I guess I look, out of curiosity, but it doesn't really effect me anymore. People who self harm, people who don't, doesn't make much difference. Then? I guess it was the same, just curious really. Not much else.
