Even if, so what? Six of one and half a dozen of the other! I just mentioned my friend cos you just do silly things when you´re a teenager, some more some less, at the end of the day it all comes down to attention seeking that´s a fact. No matter if you take pills, drugs, refuse food, make yourself sick, you draw attention and if you wanna actually hurt yourself (self harm) it´s because you can´t accept yourself as the one you are (I know it´s more complicated from a psychological point of view), you wanna punish yourself AND you want other people see there IS something wrong with you, not consciously, unconsciously, that´s what it´s all about.
