It's
kind of scary when you realize that the act of self harm, or
cutting or marking your skin, isn't even considered abnormal or
disturbing anymore,
and that its instead viewed as romantic and appealing to people....people talk about cutting as though they are talking about what their favorite color is, like it's nothing....they list it as part of their profile description or personality....the whole thing is weird, because most people who truly harm themselves, hide it from people because of shame....and if they do tell some people, its because they want support, not attention for doing it

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

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

recovery, but recovery is scary...
you dont deserve to live
go die
no one likes you

you act like such a b.itch
