Posted by COMPREHENSIVELY EDUCATIONAL! on July 20, 2007, 10:30 am There have always been people, mostly very nervous teens, who have cut themselves. It's a form of obsessive-compulsive disorder. The self-attention feels good to those who crave attention and aren't getting it from others. If left unchecked, it can lead to scarring, permanent disfigurement, and so on. It becomes a compulsion when the revulsion to the unsightly healing scars leads to more cutting. When cutters met on the internet, and began to meet in person, the vampire scene was born. Vampires get together, cut themselves (or each other) on the arm (or other body places), and drink small amounts of each other's blood. Vampires are often into freaky gothic clothing and pagan (witchcraft) religion--at least the few I've met are. But the vast majority of people who are into those things would have nothing to do with vampires, so beware of hasty stereotypes. With all the prevalence of blood-borne illnesses, vampirism can be dangerous. A cut on the tongue or mouth is especially dangerous, because a person can easily receive all the diseases that are classed as "sexually transmitted" that way. And of course, vampires will quickly tell you that vampirism is not about sex. I'm not into vampirism (as if you couldn't tell!). At all. You'll probably hear more about it in the next couple of years, as nervous parent’s fuel mass hysteria, sensationalist television "exposés", the religious right, congressional inquiries, and a host of new laws. Will Geraldo, Springer, Dr. Phil, or Pat Robertson break this issue first? Enquiring minds want to know.

Real-life vampires drink each other's blood.
