The butterfly project:
The butterfly project was something created to
help and encourage self-harmers to stop
cutting.
RULES:
1. When you feel like you want to cut,
take a marker, pen, or sharpies and draw
a butterfly on your arm or hand.
2. Name the butterfly after a loved one, or someone that really
wants you to get better.
3. You must let the butterfly fade naturally. NO scrubbing it
off.
4. If you cut before the butterfly is gone, you’ve killed
it. If you dont cut, it lives.
5. If you have more than one butterfly, cutting kills all of
them.
6. Another person may draw them on you. These butterflies are
extra special.
Take good care of them.
7. Even if you don’t cut, feel free to draw a butterfly
anyways, to show your support. If you do this, name it after
someone you know that cuts or is suffering right now, and tell
them. It could help. Try get this to the top
quotes so everyone of your witty sisters can see
it.
Copy and paste this for everyone to see.
Youre all beautiful.
Jazmin,
It's been a week and
four
days since you took your life.
It's been really hard.
School is so different.
When we have to pass our
homework forward in math class,
I'll turn around and reach out
my hand for you to pass me
your homework...but you're not there.
It still doesn't feel real.
You're wake was bad.
We started driving away
and I wanted to hop out of the car
because I felt guilty.
I felt like I just rushed right
through and I didn't even get
to say goodbye. I wish I could re-do that.
You were so, SO beautiful,
smart, loud, crazy, funny,
and so much more.
I miss talking to you at lockers
I miss having you in all of my classes
I miss listening to your voice
I miss you
Why did you have to
go?
If anyone has every attempted suicide or
have thought about attempting suicide...please read.
On February 7, 2012, a classmate
of mine unexpectedly took her own life.
That day is a day I will never forget for the rest of the time I
am on this planet.
I remember every exact word from that day.
Our principal called our grade in for an assembly.
No one really knew what it was about, but people were just
thinking of what it could be.
Once everyone was settled, my principal said
"Our dear friend, Jazmin Page, took her own life last
night"
There wasn't a dry eye in that room.
Half were crying, and the other half was trying to keep in their
emotions.
I was in the half that was crying.
Jazmin wasn't a close friend, but I talked to her every
day.
And knowing that she was never coming back...just made my heart
break into a million pieces.
It's been 5 days, and I am still broken.
I will probably be broken for a long time.
But please, if you ever tried to kill yourself...or want to kill
yourself.
Don't. Do.
It.
You may think that no one cares
But really
Everyone
cares.
You have so many people, SO many people that care about you.
Don't take yourself away from those people.
Suicide is a permanent
solution for a temporary problem.
Please, don't do it.
Don't make anyone as broken as Jazmin's family, friends,
and classmates.
If tears could build a
stairway,
and memories a lane.
I would walk right up to Heaven
and bring you back again.
No farewell words were spoken.
No time to say "Goodbye".
You were gone before I knew it
and only God knows why.
My heart still aches with sadness
and secret tears still flow.
What it meant to love you-
No one can ever know.
But now I know you want me to mourn
for you no more.
To remember all the happy times
life still has so much in store.
Since you'll never be forgotten,
I pledge to you today.
A hollowed place within my heart
is where you'll always stay.
R.I.P. Jazmin <3 Going to your wake today
was hard.
I miss you so much. You weren't supposed to leave this
early
Fly High <3
