Alrighty.
I'm probably gonna regret this.
This is a very sensitive topic, so turn away or not.
First, don't read this if you're gonna get offended or hate.
Second, if you become somewhat offended, please note that it is not my intention.
Third, my English is a bit poor.

Well then.

Let me start by saying this:
PMC is a family-friendly community.
Why I say such a thing?
Weeeeeell, I'm honetly trying to word this as best as I can, but, I've noticed some skins and such that have been constantly talking about suicide, depression and self-harm.
I just...
I just don't understand.
I mean, yeah, I understand what that person is going through and I feel bad, honestly.
But sometimes it's just plain stupid.
I, too, also go through hard times, but it's not worth it.

I've seen some skins (not gonna mention who, for the sake of privacy) that contain some form of suicide, depression and self-harm (I'll just abbreviate it as "SDS-H" to make it easier.)
To clarify, their descriptions say stuff like "I'm gonna kill myself" or "I cut myself today". (Not saying that they do. Just an example.)
Why would you say something like that?
This is the Internet; some people will feel bad and try to help you, but others will just laugh at you and call you "emo" and "attention-seeker", and those comments are gonna make you feel worse. They'll push you.

Sometimes I turn to the Internet for help, but getting help in the real world won't hurt.
Talk about your problems to a friend, family, or even an adult you really trust.
But, you might be saying "My parents won't understand me! They'll never!!!!1!!!1".
They will understand, if you actually open up and talk to them. If they find out themselves without you telling them, then they'll get mad. They'll say all sorts of things.

Well, that's all I have to say for now.
I am very sorry, I just needed to vent.

The difference between an attention seeker and an actual suicidal person:
Attention seeker:
These people willmdo anything for attention. Even threaten to "suicide" when normally they really won't. They will lie about anlot of things and they may stayrue in some parts.
Actual suicidal person:
THEY. WONT. TELL. YOU. If someone is truly suicidal and eh want to suicide, they would kill themselves no word about it.
Yesterday I met a true attention seeker. I was trying to give friendly advice to help her but she started saying her mother did illegal things. Then I said: well I can get your IP and contact the cps" she refused and began screaming. She said she wanted to suicide. Her friend (which was mine too) said he couldn't handle it anymore. I called the police on her. ;) she was an attention seeker.
Yet don't be rude to people who want attention. Suicide is sad. I know many people who have suicided and they didn't want any part in the attention area. Claiming someone is emo and(or) an attention seeker is stupid. It is also resolved in bullying. Saying this can he hurtful. But don't group everyone that's depressed or suicidal in the attention seeking area! Like come on.

I agree 100% on everything here. Saying those suicidal phrases really just mark you as an attention seeker, and it's usually for stupid reasons like not being able to get an IPhone 6. This isn't just on Minecraft, but for the internet in general.

I can agree it's "attention seeking." They might need some attention but it's not the way to go about it. What you mentioned at the start only makes me think you've overcame depression once. I'm the same aswell, I don't honestly know how to help someone that is depressed and I always think, it's not worth it. But saying that isn't actually going to do anything.


I don't quite understand why people would want to make it into a skin, gorey stuff is cool sometimes. But in a video game that is majority little kids, seems a bit wrong. Not the gorey part, but suicidal things. Of course there are worse communitys out there.

Thank you so freaking much. I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking this. I mean, why are you telling everyone that you're gonna kill your self, or that you cut, or that you attempted suicide on a minecraft website?  Honestly. If I really felt the need to hurt myself, I sure as heck wouldn't do it for attention, and if anyone questioned me about it on PMC, I wouldn't make a big deal about it and say I tried to kill my self. I'd lie, or id say that I'd rather not talk about it. Thanks for making this blog. People really need to get a better understanding of this.

I also hate(or rather, highly dislike) skins and blogs about people saying "I give up on life". It's sad, and what's worse is when they suddenly go offline for a long while after making those posts.

Just know you can talk to me, or anyone(that you trust, obviously) if you're feeling down :) Sure I posted a thing about myself being depressed, but you guys helped me through it. So not every one is emo, or breaks you down. There are still those lovelies who help you up, and build you up.

Oh god, I hope you didn't write this because of my blog I wrote last week.  D:

If so, I'm very sorry if you found it hurtful.  That wasn't at all my intention.
