I'm trying to help

Do you ever feel so alone?

So scared?

So angry?

So unloved?

Invisible?

No maybe yes.

That's how I feel and I hate it. Nobody deserves to go through what I'm going through. It doesn't matter what size you are, hair colour,  gender, skin colour ect...

Everyone goes through a tough time but some people deal with it better than others.

Just because you may self harm doesn't mean you're weak. it just shows you don't know how else to cope with things.

Just because you self harm doesn't mean you're an attention seeker. It doesn't mean you're an emo. It doesn't mean you want to die ect...

Yes some people self harm for attention. If you were an attention seeker you would be showing people intentionally by shoving your arm or whatever in people's faces and saying things like:

-"I need to cut"

-"ooo a blade,  I'll need that later"

-"I'm going to take my jacket off guys.  Nobody look at my arms"

there is probably soo many more but I can't think of any more.

what kind of person would cut in front of somebody? that's looking for attention. Attention seekers don't know the meaning of self harm. They just want people to feel sorry for them. But sometimes it doesn't work. People can go from your best friend to a stranger.

Not everyone is caring. Some people will stay away. Your 'best friend' could spread it round the whole school or work place ect...

Some people self harm to make them more 'interesting' to others.

If you want to be more interesting why don't you join a sports club or play an instrument or something instead of harming yourself.

Then some people self harm to become 'popular'. How is self harm going to make you popular? do you just want people to know your name and speak to you and care about you? You can get people to know your name by doing something really good like performing on stage (drama, singing, playing an instrument ect...). The more people know about you self harming the more of an attention seeker you are. If you want people to know, so they can help you just tell your friends and family, don't tell random people.

Those type of people give self harming people a bad name.

Some people self harm for a reason that's not to become more popular or for attention or anything like that.  They do it because they don't know how else to deal with things so they take it out on themselves. They do it because all their emotions get piled up and they don't know how to release everything. So they cut or whatever they do. It makes them feel better. Yes it may sound stupid but it's true, it release everything and replaces with physical pain. People handle physical pain better than emotional pain.

self harm can happen in different ways for example:

-cutting

-scratching

-punching

-burning

-pulling their hair

There are so many different ways to self harm. "You didn't draw blood. You don't self harm". self harm is when you purposely hurt yourself. it doesn't matter if you draw blood or not. It doesn't matter if you can see the damage or not. harming yourself intentionally is self harm.
