I don't think anyone who is depressed and hurts themselves is actually an "attention seeker". I could be wrong, but I believe self-harming is what people do INSTEAD OF drawing attention to the fact that they are unhappy.

Harming yourself for attention is a completely different thing (I believe they call that Munchausen's).

I am completely guessing here, but I think the issue stems from the "emo kids" who claim to be depressed and SAY that they harm themselves/etc. but don't, or who glorify it and act like cutting is a good thing, drawing negative attention to actually depressed people. Sadly, there are instances of people lying about various disorders/abuse/etc., saying that they are sick or that horrible things happen to them, when it's not true. (As far as I know, this usually isn't the case, but people hear of it happening once or twice and make assumptions)

But again, I'm just guessing.
