Why is cutting yourself portrayed as beautiful on
social media sites? I do not get this at all-Since when is having
self inflicted marks on your skin, a form of beauty?
I have self harmed before, no one thought it was cool, edgy or
beautiful. I was embarrassed and shamed for cutting myself. My
parents thought I was crazy for doing it.
No one ever said "poor you" No one ever even asked me if
I was okay when they found out I cut myself...I have now been free
of self harm for a year and a half now. The scars I used to have on
my wrists, have faded. I don't miss them. I feel more confident
now that I don't have scars. Cutting isn't pretty, cute,
lovely, special or beautiful. People cut because they are in some
kind of pain.....that isn't beautiful, to be in so much pain,
that you inflict harm on your body....next time, thin about who you
influence when you talk about cutting like its cool....cutting is a
real problem....and there is nothing cool about
it
