(via imgTumble)When I’m an adult and have kids I will make/buy this and then ask my kids if they want some:
They’ll be all
“Um, no thanks.”
And I’m like “Are you sure?”
“Yup.”
“Positive?”
“Yes, mom.”
“Okay, then me and your father will eat it.”
And they’re all
Until I cut it , then they’re all
“Oh, now you want some, right? Too bad.”
PARENTING, YOU’RE DOING IT RIGHT.
omg haha fucking genius

(via imgTumble)41% of people believe that self-harm is selfish. 55% believe that it is stupid. 43% know someone that has self-harmed. One in ten people have harmed by the age of sixteen.
Self-harm does not make you suicidal. It does not make you emo. It is simply a way that many use to rid themselves of stress or pain or whatever it may be. Over 3 million people in the US have self-harmed or still do.
Cutting is not just a girl’s disorder. Anyone can do it. Males, females, and persons that don’t fit into the gender binary. And it is not just teens, either. Both Princess Diana and Johnny Depp have gone through it. The person who always seems happy could be victim to it. Anyone.
There are other forms of self-harm besides cutting or mutilation. There’s CSP; a disorder where you’ll pick at your skin, bite your skin, bite your nails, or pull out hair, usually when you’re bored or due to perfectionism. There’s also burning yourself, and other things that could cause injury such as hitting yourself or other objects.
Some people don’t realize they’re doing it.
Some people don’t think it’s wrong. Some people become addicted. People don’t hide their cuts or marks hoping someone will find them unless they actually want help to get better. It’s often hidden because they’re afraid of someone seeing. People don’t show off their scars because they’re cool. They’re just there. And there’s no point in hiding them. Often people become proud of their scars because they know they’re past it.
An orange ribbon is used as a self-harm awareness symbol. Those suffering from it or have been through it or support it often wear one. To Write Love On Her Arms is amazing for what they do. They help people get past their self-harm or addictions or suicidal thoughts. Many people don’t support TWLOHA, but I think it’s an amazing cause.
You do not have to have gone through anything like this to support it. Sometimes all people want to know is that they’re not alone. Don’t judge someone based on the marks they have on their arms. You don’t know what they’ve been through. Rather, be proud of them for making through it. Life can be a bitch.

(via imgTumble)I try to avoid posting pictures of self harm, but I had to reblog this for the message.It’s a funny thing when you look at this. An actual person who literally slices themselves open on a daily basis just to get away from the emotional pain and come back to a physical state. I bet there’s someone you’ve said something rude to that went home and add a another scar to their already beautifully scarred skin. So yes in a literal sense you just made a mark in their life and you are now embedded into their skin forever. When I put it that way makes you think a little huh. It doesn’t take much to be friendly; no matter how much you can’t stand a person. Be kind. Because even though what you think is harmless could be the death of them.
Reblogging so that all of my followers could see this
^
I don’t usually post any pictures of self harm as I’m scared they’ll trigger people. But I can’t not post this because of the message underneath. This message needs to be heard.
i apologize to any of my followers if this triggers something or makes them feel uncomfortable, but i can’t not reblog this because of the powerful message on it. i wish more people could see this so they can make a change to how they treat people.
thats really sad :(
Yeah, I don’t usually post pictures of SH on this blog because I don’t want to trigger my followers, but I want my followers to see this one.
