Slitting Ur Wrists...

Does not kill u apparently.

Why is it that all movies show the girl who slits her wrist and lie bleeding in the bath tub, only to be found by her knight in shining armour who whips her up and flies to the hospital on his broomstick, where all the Healers do their Magic and seal her wounds(sorry, Harry Potter fever), gives her a blood transfusion and ta-da she wakes up, weeps like a i-tried-to-kill-myself-but-obviously-failed-i'm-a-stupid-twit, and so mentioned bloke declares his undying stupidity, oops love and swears never to leave her side until the sun sets in the east and zebras sprout spots?

Damn, I was taken in too. All this tooting Hollywood and HK movies made to cheat and bluff young, innocent, carefree kids like myself. And make other not-so-smart-kids unlike myself think that they can commit suicide by slitting their wrists. And then these toots get sent to the Psychiatry ward where the doctors have to endure the sheer stupidity of their actions- 'I kill myself cos the guy I like does not like me.... life is not worth living.. boo hoo hoo hoo...'

Bah.

Think you so smart can cut your wrist and bleed to death isit?? Think you so strong can cut thru to your arteries and veins isit. Think then you will bleed bleed all 5 litres of blood out and die isit??

Truth is.. you can la.

But want to die. So easy meh.

Ok, so u can reach ur arteries and slit them I suppose. But then you have to cut through quite a lot of tendons, ligaments and muscles to get there. And you also severe your median nerve. That's the nerve that provides the messages to move your hand from your brain.

And when you get sent to A&E in a bleeding mess, get your wounds stitched up, and get your 5 litres of blood back to your body - You should be left with a rather useless hand that should not function. Cos you severed the nerves and muscles and whatever that is in the wrist.

And live a life with a rubbish hand. Cos you think you so smart to go cut ur wrist.

If you want to die, tell your flatmates that you are going to bed, lock your door and just overdose on sleeping pills and go to sleep. But more importantly, act normally please. No point losing your edge as your flatmates will call your knight in shining armour to barge in and save you.

Slitting your wrist is just a call for attention. Might has well hang a card over your body and say that 'I WANT ATTENTION!!'

And then again, maybe slitting your wrists is a better way. You get ur attention and on top of that, a free rubbish hand.
