Once I heard one of my friends say, 'I think I'll just cut myself with this because I'm so emo,' grinning idiotically and holding a pair of scissors in a manner she obviously thought was funny. I almost started yelling at her right then. Now that I know what it is like to want to hurt yourself, I just find it insulting and disgusting. Originally I might have done nothing but things have changed and I know better about what people can hide so easily.
A friend of mine has attempted suicide on numerous occasions but everyone else thought she was the happiest person in the school. I know about twelve current or past self harmers and a lot of others who are suffering, it isn't funny.
My scars are a sign of who I am now even though I was never truly depressed I have been bulimic and apparently bipolar, which I don't believe so all I had to do was show her my marks and she shut up about those things. Just think about the words you say next time.
Words have power.
