Inner Feelings

Self Harm

Self harm.

People that self harm are always categorised as sucidal and depressed freaks. People always edge away from them. They think they'll catch some sort of disease from people that self harm. They talk about self harmers in such an awful manner with a foul mouth and that just disgusts me.

That is so wrong.

People that self harm don't do it for attention.

They do it because they feel as if they have nothing left on this Earth. They feel as if what's the point in living if everything in their life always goes wrong. They feel as if no one in the world cares and that no one would miss them if they die. They feel like their head is going to explode with all their problems surging through their brain at once. In order to get rid of the emotional pain they cause physical pain to themselves. They feel as if they have nothing to live for. They think that they have no other option.

That's where they're wrong.

We need to show them that there is other options. They're not freaks. They just need to know that people are there to help them. It's up to us to help them. It's up to us to prove them wrong and show them that there are people that care and that will get deeply affected if they keep hurting themselves.

We need to show them that they do have a reason to live and no matter what problems they have going on in their lives, we will be there every step of the way to understand and help them and that we're ready to go through the pain together.

It's up to us to show them how precious their lives are. We need to show them that their skin isn't paper so they shouldn't cut it.

It's our jobs, as friends, to help our friends that need us.
