The guy who wrote baby don't cut is a dumb ass.The song is offensive and portrays the exact reason why people don't generally feel as concerned as they should if someone is depressed, cutting, or suicidal.The girl in the song has no real problems and is just generally upset when she kills herself.
The official music "video" show a BEAUTIFUL,THIN, TALL GIRL WITH GREAT HAIR, sitting on her bed crying. Which leads us to believe she has low self-esteem, rather than depression. She has a boyfriend who loves her with all his heart and shows it, and the song indicates her home life is just fine.
She wasn't exclusively bullied, either. She dropped her books and some people snickered, because we all know that no one ACTUALLY pointed and horse-laughed at her. She has very little-to-no problems, yet she apparently cuts more than a pair of scissors and eventually kills herself.
Then the boyfriend runs to her house from school and finds her alive and still slightly conscious, which is highly improbable, and begins to scream for help rather than immediately call 911 with a phone we all know he has because they texted earlier in the song. Then they rush her to the hospital in an ambulance that took god knows how long to get there, and even though she was about a minute from death, she's still alive when they get there.
Finally she dies, but not without giving everyone hope that she was going to survive, because apparently she's resilient enough to make it that far with her "injuries" and retain a general consciousness, but god forbid she survive once they've closed the wound and began a blood infusion, which is always the first emergency action taken.
So overall it is a dumb song with inaccurate/improbable events and an overwhelming sense of avoidable circumstances and coincidences, that also definitely embraces stereotypes of cutting and suicide, and makes it into a laughable issue.The girl featured is most likely a spoiled bitch who can't deal with a little embarrasment and craves attention, because she made sure to create a drastic and avoidable situation, while still playing something I'd like to call the "Pity Card", though in this case, which is actually a common thing, she has NOTHING for us to feel sorry about.
