NIU Shooter and Self-Injury
From MSNBC story about NIU Shooter: Troubled mind The discoveries added to the puzzle surrounding Kazmierczak. While friends, family, educators and investigators remain baffled and shocked at the gunman’s acts, a closer look reveals that Kazmierczak’s friendly exterior masked a troubled mind. University Police Chief Donald Grady said, without giving details, that Kazmierczak, 27, had become erratic in the past two weeks after he had stopped taking his medication.

Self-destructive friends — what to do? (from CNN)
Self-destructive friends — what to do? (from CNN) By Elizabeth Bougerol (LifeWire) — When Theresa heard her friend was getting married, her heart sank. “I told her I thought it was a mistake,” says Theresa. “So she kicked me out of her wedding party.

Amy Winehouse and Husband Battle it out

Famous People who Cut themselves
A link from self-injury.net, a site by a young self-injurer. These biographies were written by the author of the site. They include: Diana, Princess of Wales Colin Farrell Fiona Apple Johnny Depp Courtney Love Angelina Jolie Amy Winehouse (RIP) Pete Doherty Lindsay Lohan Darrell Hammond (recently added because he came out and said he cut himself) and others I wonder if any of these people are also borderlines. No star is willing to come out and publicly say they are. I have updated the link to go to the appropriate page. http://self-injury.net/media/famous-self-injurers [amazonshowcase_aae6001f3f5766bb5a55f3fb147c3088] [amazonshowcase_fca1b973869626c648b4713f66c7a2c8] No related posts.
