Lately some people I know have been given looks for their scars, and it bothers me a lot. People think that scars on women are ugly. And should be covered up for that reason. In reality, they aren't ugly. Yes, scars are not usually found as appealing in the eyes of the public. When people of this world see scars on a girl, their first thought of may be "ugly" or "nasty". Those with scars are beautiful. Every girl ever born is beautiful in some way. Girls with scars are even more beautiful. They usually have been through some trauma of some sort. From experience, I know life as a teenage girl can be very tough. Expectations, classes and grades, family life, what we see in the media and new feelings to sort out about the people around us. Those are just some of the things girls face everyday of our lives. Cutting is used as an escape from the life we have and its problems. It's used to release the negative energy we have inside ourselves. Some may do it to feel pain. Some may do it because they think they deserve it. Or do it for the sense of control that comes with it. They can't control what is going on around them, but they can control the number of cuts. The depth they dig. The place of it. They control whether they hide it or not. They decide when enough is enough. No one else does. It's wrong that we feel the need to go to those lengths because of what goes on in our lives. Or the people around us. This was towards teenage girls mostly, only because I don't have the experiences or thoughts of anyone else. But from what I have seen in others lives, guys and those who don't have specified gender also go through those things and maybe even more so than girls are. Something I will always, always hate though is when some people say "You made me cut myself. You made me do it." Because it's completely untrue. Unless someone literally took your hand holding the knife and forced your hand to drag the knife across your skin, no one made you do anything. It was your decision to react in that way. It was your choice to harm yourself. So all the guys, girls, people in general who cut overdose and/or suicide that tell others that they made them do it are wrong. Because no matter what anyone else does, it's you who makes the choice to do it. It is not fair to anyone to put the blame on other people. Even the bad people in your life that make it terrible. That kind of guilt wreaks havoc on someone. Causing more pain to others. And if that's your goal in life, then what is wrong with you? What makes you think you have the right to just cause pain to others? Even if those people have made you hurt as well. It's bitter and wrong.
