Self harm is not beautiful
Self harm is not romantic
Do you know how much pain someone has to be in to purposefully harm
themselves?
Do not make jokes about people who cut or harm themselves
This is a really serious thing, people all over the world go
through self injury type behaviors every day
Lots of people think its cute to label themselves as "cutters
or self harmers"
They go on Tumblr and other sites and post graphic pictures of
scars or sucidial messages
They talk about how much they hate themselves
You know what is really scary about this?
The fact that people are drawn to images of scars, self harm and
suicide
I'll be honest, there are moments in my life I have thought of
suicide
I have self harmed before-but no matter how bad I feel, the thought
of committing suicide, just scares the heck out of me
I don't understand how people can treat these serious issues
like teenage phases or quirks
Having scars on your arms isn't beautiful, its humilating
Cutting doesn't give you a sense of pride, it makes you hurt
even more
Cutting doesn't make you special, lots of people cut
themselves, sadly
If you don't really self-harm, and you post things claiming you
do, if you think you are being edgy or unique,
let me tell you, YOU ARE NOT.
Stop romanticizing the pain of another person
Self harm is painful, that's all it is, there is nothing
endearing, lovely or pretty-about self harm
Self harm is not beautiful Self harm is not romantic Do you know

That makes sense, I write poetry about self harm, but not to romanticize it, it is also my way of dealing with it-i just hate how people post pictures of scars....and make that seem pretty....if you are cutting yourself, you don't need to be encouraged to continue, you need help-and if you are thinking about cutting yourself, you also need help-wish people would realize this
