People who cut themselves & then come to the Q&A section to tell us about it...

Maybe, but then maybe they don't have anyone in their life that they can confide in. They know they need help, so they take these baby steps of reaching out on anonymous social media sites. Unless we know them personally, the only thing we can do is encourage them to talk to a counselor, teacher, pastor, etc. A little compassion from us can go a long way in helping someone who is temporarily overwhelmed.
