My mother said...leave her alone..she just wants ATTENTION...

Why is wanting ATTENTION BAD?????? Why does one have to cut ones wrist to get ATTENTION????

And why does a mother allow her child to bleed in a bathroom and not give said child ATTENTION?

I did the wrong thing... cutting across the wrist rather than down my arm...so I lived...but had I died...it would have been for the want of ATTENTION
