I am putting up a poster in Febuary at my school promoting self harm awarness. Self harm awareness day is March 1, but it's a saturday. So I talked to the princible and asked her if the school could set up a self harm awarness day at the school. She said yes!!!! It is March 4 on a tuesday instead. I am shocked and proud of my self. The idea came to me about a week (around oct. 5 2013) after a teacher saw my cuts and I got busted. I started to sink more then I thought possible. And about a week later something horrible almost happened and God spoke to me and said "hope" that was all he said but it was enough to help me find life in my endless storm. I started to use the butterfly project and now I haven't cut in about a month!:) A few weeks ago (around Dec. 28) I noticed a huge change in my mood and thoughts. Everyone I know could see it to. I was happy. :jawdrop: For the first time in 14 months I had a real smile. Now when I see someone being bullied anywhere and anyone I try to stop the bully and confort the victim. I have 3 friends with scars. I have asked them where they got them from, one said "the cat" the other "I don't know" and the last one I caught in the act of self harming, she just said she was only biting her sleve not her whole wrist. I watched her do it, she lied. I worry for all of them, knowing one day they may go farther than just a cut. If you see a friend with abnormal scars help them. Even it is someone you don't know very well. Invite that kid that sits all alone at lunch to come and join them. I do that when ever I can and the smile that appears on there face when I ask them is incretible. If you need help PLEASE message me! I don't want anyone else to die.

I'm happy you have turned a corner and don't see the need to cut anymore! And bringing awareness to a complicated condition is very brave. Your compassion is to be commended! Good luck, and be sure to let it's know how we can help...I've never known a more caring community than mermaids!

Thank you. 1 out every 8 people self harm and I feel if there is no one who cares about them they will die. So I want to start the caring. And you are so right I have never met a group of more caring people than mermpeople
