is it really ableist to say someone who cuts themselves needs help
Oh, wow. It's not like he cut himself or anything. If you can't take someone leaving a band better than that you shouldn't have been into them in the first place. He's still there and if you think it makes him bad, wow.

I've seen a lot of crying on Instagram and twitter about all this... I get really into music and bands, and some of my absolute favorite bands have broken up, but I find better ways to deal with it than what these kids are doing.
Plus, I'm tired of seeing this all over my twitter already
The dude left, he isn't dead or something.

And with Jeremy Clarkson joining One Direction they became the greatest boyband...In the world.
I don't blame him. I'm not a big fan of One Direction but I am extremely proud of them and I respect Zayn for giving up that kind of life for the sake of his own. Their fans have to understand that being a celebrity isn't always sunshine and rainbows. They get hounded and some of them just crack under pressure. Zayn is only 22, you know.

Wasn't a huge fan so it's like whatever but goodluck to their group :3

God, several minutes after the news was announced I saw people at my school sobbing over their phones.
One down, four to go. 
In all seriousness though, these sorts of things have different psychological effects on different people. While you may think that the people cutting themselves over this is are idiots and need to need to get lives (or whatever you might be thinking), this is a big deal to some people. The music industry is huge too, so artists are often viewed as role-models and big parts of people's lives in some cases.
Some people might be reacting and doing this sort of thing as a form of protest, in the hopes that Zayne will reconsider and rejoin the crew because so many of 1D's fans are taking it badly (although everyone knows that's extremely unlikely anyway ~ people will take any hope they can get if it means enough to them).
Point is, we can't group everyone together and say that they're cutting themselves over a dumb reason, when that reason could be so much more than we could ever understand.
Personally, it's not a big deal at all to me since I've never really cared for 1D.

I would have loved to see that omg, but the announcement was made when I was asleep I believe. Also, bye Zayn.
I find this really sad and I know full well that both statements will be true. Maybe it's just me but anybody who takes it this hard really needs to grow the **** up and sort their priorities out.
I've seen many bands split up for a variety of reasons. These range from the members not being able to stand each other any more to key members that the band would struggle to continue without going the more permanent route of 'being dead'. I get a little sad when it's a band I like, of course I do. I just get on with it though, continue to enjoy their music and have a look at what the old members are doing musically after the split...I really can't empathize with people who literally start sobbing over the news or start cutting themselves as though this is the single worst thing that has ever happened.
It makes me a little more sad that metal fans get a lot of flack around cutting themselves and being mentally unstable (which is as true as us all being devil worshipers...Hint, we're not).Yet we're not the ones that are slicing ourselves open and bursting into tears when a member leaves a band we like. When Dave Lombardo left Slayer, the fans were supportive over his legitimate reasons. When Christian Alvestam left Scar Symmetry, we looked forward to what the band would do next. When Tim Lambisis got convicted for conspiracy to murder, we didn't lose our **** and demand he be released because he's in that band we like.
Fans of one direction take a steak knife to their wrists though? Well, that's adorable and shows how dedicated their fans truly are. They aren't bat**** crazy or anything, they shouldn't be thrown into a padded cell...No, they're just 'dedicated'.
*sigh*
Why do people even cut themselves
I mean clearly girls are cutting themselves over this stupid boy band for attention.
Honestly, I think it's extremely pathetic and frankly if people truly are slashing their wrists because Zayn Malik left One Direction then they need to grow up.

I just accidentally got into a little Twitter feud with a fan. There's just all this rubbish about how Zayn is a bad person for leaving and it upsets me. Like I said, I'm not a big fan of One Direction, but I think it's awful when members get such hateful comments. He wanted to have a life outside of the band and if you're gonna treat him like he's stabbed you in the back or something, you need to get your priorities straight. Do you love his fame or his life?
Not true. Come on, where's your source for that. Don't believe everything you read on the internet.
I don't get why people are giving the fans such a hard time. Let them cry/whine/whatever they want to do that'll healthily get their emotions out.
There were a couple of years where 1D was actually quite important to me, so I guess I understand some of the reactions. At the end of the day, Zayn apparently paid management millions of pounds to get out of his contract. He really wanted to leave. Sucks for the fans, but he's gotta do what he wants to do. This whole Zayn thing doesn't even compare to the Kris/Luhan suing SM fiasco though, so they should be thankful that he was able to get out fairly easily.
