It is often done by young women who have been abused either sexually, physically, or emotionally. Some young men do it too; but it is much more prevalent in females. Quote:

People in general are really ignorant of what mental illness is what people with mental illness are like. It makes me sad. It used to make me feel sad and insecure, now it makes me angry.
A friend of mine once said, "Some people are just fucking crazy. Mental illness has nothing to do with it." | I think I like your friend!  |
