Well She's going to enjoy that when she's 40 <3 How I would love to see her explain that to every future boyfriend, or.... psychologist. You know, which ever....

[–]SheepyTurtle 9 points10 points ago

She didn't do it nearly deep enough or enough times for it to scar past a little pale thing that'll go away in about six to eight months.

[–]NolanRoss 0 points1 point ago

The top of the J, the bottom of the B, and the bottom of the I will scar.

[–]SheepyTurtle 6 points7 points ago

Just those parts, but not badly enough to leave dark scar tissue.

I carved the word liar into my skin about 3 years ago. Well, I should say, cut it into my skin, and it was maybe as deep as the part at the beginning of the J. It's gone now, the scar itself was visible for about 8 months, and only faintly, even when I caught sun (I only say this because for me, when I get sun, my scar tissue generally gets darker than the rest of my skin, no idea why).

Carving a name into your skin isn't the best idea; but at the same time, someone who feels the need to cut themselves is doing it for the chemical reaction it gives them, which leads them to believe it helps them to feel better, or feel something at all; though in this case, I would be willing to say that's just a crazy teenager who seriously needs a talking to from her / his parents.

Edit - I can say this because I have had issues with cutting; not in a weird obsessed way like this, but as a coping mechanism to other things in my life that at those times, I wasn't equipped to deal with.

I want to go on to say that if you are, or know someone who is a cutter, to please, get the help you need, or just make a post over in /r/depression, /r/stopselfharm (which I'll admit I've had a huge lack of courage to post in), or even /r/SuicideWatch.

Thank you for the link to /r/StopSelfHarm

[–]HaveAnotherCookie 2 points3 points ago

Maybe for a year or two. But not long and not bad. Things that could be played off as cat scratches. My less severe ones were worse than that and now, two years later, they're barely visable.

[–]SamuraiStormtrooper 7 points8 points ago

Just say it's the initials of a past boyfriend or some shit. It's still stupid, yes, but it won't be seen as stupid as if it was clearly Justin Bieber.

[–]Cakesmite 0 points1 point ago

They dont care what it is, if someone takes a knife and cuts words on the arm there is something mentally wrong with that person. dosent matter what they wrote.

[–]Cakesmite 0 points1 point ago

She's probably in mental hospital by then.

[–]watchesarecool42 12 points13 points ago

Whenever I see someone with 'I <3 JB' stuff, I smile at them and say, "OMG! I love James Bond too!"

[–]Seand0r 24 points25 points ago

Cut a little deeper, otherwise people won't know that you mean it. Bieber doesn't want you to sacrifice skin-- he needs BLOOD

[–]Saan 1 point2 points ago

[–]theguardiandragon -2 points-1 points ago

No. Do not sully Khorne's name with this pathetic excuse of existence.

[–]dyh10009 22 points23 points ago

20 years ago it was slayer carved on the arm. :(

[–]birdmankustomz 10 points11 points ago

At least Slayer makes sense, seriously, ever been in a Slayer pit?

[–]17Hongo 21 points22 points ago

"We're gonna play a fast song now - you're gonna want to mosh the shit out of this! I don't want to see anyone getting trampled down there - someone falls down, you pick them the fuck up! Someone needs to tie a shoelace, you stand over them make sure they're all right - I don't want someone getting fucking hurt at my concert!" - Tom Araya, at a London Concert.

[–]GoochMcScrotes 6 points7 points ago

Same goes for Trivium. "We're here to have fun and rock the fuck out, if you're in the pit and you see someone go down, pick them up. Nobody's getting hurt here today" - Matt Heafy at Earthday Birthday 19

Oh, my bad. Between the Buried and Me.

[–]SonicSlice 0 points1 point ago

I WANT TO SEE THEM SO BAD.

[–]GoochMcScrotes 2 points3 points ago

BTBAM?

[–]DrizzX 1 point2 points ago

Such a true artist.

[–]GoochMcScrotes 4 points5 points ago

Ever been in a Lamb of God pit?

[–]Mikezorz99 4 points5 points ago

WALL OF MOTHER FUCKING DEATH

[–]GoochMcScrotes 2 points3 points ago

Theirs are always insane as fuck. I hope the LoG, Dethklok, and Gojira show in Orlando isn't cancelled.

[–]Mikezorz99 2 points3 points ago

I've seen both Gojira and LoG. Both amazing. I would have to give it to LoG for better performance, mostly because their guitar players sound AMAZING live.

[–]GoochMcScrotes 4 points5 points ago

Shit the whole band sounds amazing live haha

[–]dyh10009 -4 points-3 points ago

True that, I was gonna go to the slayer pit but I realized I was gonna get fucked there since I'm 14 years old haha. Although I would have gone if my friend could have came but he couldn't sadly.

[–]Ironicallypredictabl 14 points15 points ago

Long sleeve shirts will always be known as "her thing."

[–]xomaleo 5 points6 points ago

JB stands for jailbait, doesn't it?

[–]brutalsun 6 points7 points ago

Blow Job... she's dyslexic.

[–]kjmac 7 points8 points ago

Jokes on you. That's me and I'm a 45 year old man.

[–]thechupacabra 1 point2 points ago

You are surprisingly hairless.

[–]caitlinmc 0 points1 point ago

Beat me to it.

[–]jernau 6 points7 points ago

I know right? That sentence structure is shameful!

[–]BishieHunter 4 points5 points ago

Nobody is going to address that she cut herself and should see a psychologist? Justin Bieber is the key part of this image? Edit: Somebody linked some resources above me thank goodness. I would also like to point out that people who become obsessed with celebrity (e.g. a fangirl crush that makes you carve a name into your arm) may have obsessive symptoms or generally be filling some hole in their lives. We don't know where OP got the picture or whether it was ever meant to become public, and I still think this says more "psychological suffering" than "wanton attention whoring".

[–]DerDieDas 4 points5 points ago

I honestly just feel pity for this girl or maybe even very poor boy.

Cutting any kind of shit into your body, let it be names, word or just the classic lines combined with taking a photo of it and posting it online is a serious outcry for attention/help.

This might still be a WTF for me but more in a sad way.

[–]annana 2 points3 points ago

So many hormones..

[–]PandoRamma 3 points4 points ago

She was way into it when she started. It looks like she started losing her determination toward the end.

[–]Jennfizzle 2 points3 points ago

This shit is always creepy to me. Without context especially because JB are my intials haha

[–]butterfly_culture 2 points3 points ago

she is going to regret that when she gets older

[–]kimbo94 2 points3 points ago

Yoda, I am.

[–]cymbalinex 0 points1 point ago

I was looking to post a yoda comment but I guess someone beat me to it. Up vote for you sir!

[–]kimbo94 0 points1 point ago

I'm female.

[–]lindzasaurusrex 2 points3 points ago

She lost gusto around the L and then completely dropped the razor ball at O-V-E. >P

[–]brutalsun 2 points3 points ago

Message to 13 year old girls from a child of the 80's... ever hear of the new kids on the block? Yeah that will be Justin Beiber in 20 years, FORGOTTEN.

[–]500CID 0 points1 point ago

Hangin Tough.. lol

[–]ShinySpoon 0 points1 point ago

But think of how cool you'd be if you had a Beatles or Pink Floyd tattoo/scar from the 60/70s.

[–]DillPickle00 0 points1 point ago

and balding..

[–]zolind123 2 points3 points ago

I'm a 11 year old girl and I don't understand it! Who can like him? We need to get her on reddit! That might fix her up....

[–]lorsus 1 point2 points ago

I agree, at 13 a girl should be able to spell BJ correctly.

[–]aznkriss133 1 point2 points ago

Ugh now I have to cut Slayer into my arm.

[–]dr-killjoy 0 points1 point ago

You're suppose to carve Slayer into other peoples arms.....unless I've been doing it wrong the entire time.

[–]aznkriss133 0 points1 point ago

Either way is acceptable as long as one of you know what you're doing so it doesn't look like that lol.

[–]UNEification 1 point2 points ago

In all seriousness this is a real cry for help. The Justin Bieber part doesn't make it less so, it just means that to a 13 year old his songs about caring for the subject, loving her, and protecting her are meaningful to this kid. But cutting words so deep is not a laughing matter. I agree that this is pretty WTF but the title/attitude in the comments is pretty nonchalant and this bothers me.

I hope if you know the person in the picture you have informed school officials or their parents. This kid needs help.

[–]dr-killjoy 0 points1 point ago

Yeah that'll stop their cutting behaviour, making their issue public.

[–]AbigailRoseHayward 1 point2 points ago

I'm 13, and there's no way I would be that stupid.

[–]Fishbirdman 1 point2 points ago

No wonder you don't understand them, their grammar is wrong!

[–]Concrow 2 points3 points ago

Its shit like this that makes me hate Justin Beiber fans all the more.

[–]bri_kay43 1 point2 points ago

Not all 13 year old girls are like that. Personally, I would never do something so idiotic.

[–]GOLTRON -2 points-1 points ago

We all know you do..

[–]bri_kay43 -1 points0 points ago

Uhm, no. I wouldn't do something that would follow me for the rest of my life over someone who cant even sing.

[–]GOLTRON 0 points1 point ago

Yes you would.

[–]bri_kay43 0 points1 point ago

Whatever makes you sleep at night.

[–]seianat 0 points1 point ago

Did she cut that into her arm?!

[–]EileenCat 5 points6 points ago

Yes.

[–]shivers13 9 points10 points ago

You can see how she struggled to cut as deep when she got to "love"

[–]daethtoall 0 points1 point ago

i carved slayer into my arm. but fuck.

[–]citrus_douche_liquid 0 points1 point ago

How many times are they going to post this picture?

[–]Havuk8888 0 points1 point ago

How do we know she isn't 30?

[–]Secret7000 0 points1 point ago

She's sad that /r/jailbait went.

[–]munchies1122 0 points1 point ago

She started out strong then got really lazy. Justin would be disappoint.

[–]Owlingday 0 points1 point ago

Plot twist he's 42...

[–]indomara 0 points1 point ago

if that was my little girl shed be LOCKED THE FUCK DOWN.

pulled into continuation/home school, no phone, no internet, no going anywhere except to see a psychologist.

>_>

[–]DorkPassenger 0 points1 point ago

I know, right? The laundry basket is probably right the fuck there, all she/he had to do was drop it in. Noooo.. leave it on the floor.

[–]Simi566 0 points1 point ago

sigh she must REALLY love Johnny Blaze... I love Nick Cage too but, really!

[–]taylorXprevails 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, she'll regret that in a few days when it gets infected n she's got a crazy scar forever.

[–]killerattack 0 points1 point ago

i think she spelled BJ wrong

[–]MrsMcD123 0 points1 point ago

I had a friend who was 24 at the time, she cut the word "hate" onto her lower stomach when she was mad at her brother. Then she'd wear short shirts and low cut jeans everyday.

That was embarrassing.

[–]tension49 0 points1 point ago

Regret this you will.

[–]JackBread 0 points1 point ago

All the ladies love me!

Wait, no...
CURSE YOU, JUSTIN BIEBER!

[–]samuraialien 0 points1 point ago

I don't understand 13-year-old girls either. I mean, who leaves a pair of sunglasses on the floor?

[–]TyrantDanimal 0 points1 point ago

If you cut yourself, they will come.

[–]Patchworkparamedic 0 points1 point ago

Let me explain. They are all attention-whoring cunts.

[–]fretsurfer12 1 point2 points ago

Just like justin beiber

[–]Makazy1 0 points1 point ago
