She tweeted something like(i edited what she really posted but it has the same meaning) 'don't just scratch a little and then upload it online. Only post it when you've cut till your hand comes off .'
THE SARCASM IS NOT EVEN FUNNY. HAVE YOU BEEN IN A CUTTER'S SHOE BEFORE?
ONCE YOU'RE IN, IT'S NOT EASY TO GET OUT OF IT.
A cutting addiction can start with just a small slit. It's not about the size, the amount of slits you did or how fucking deep is it(well it does matter but that's not the main point now) -- it's the thought; the urge to harm yourself when you can't cope with your emotions. You shouldn't make fun just because the young girl 'scratch' her wrist only.
When she is sad, means she's sad. Don't compare who's sadder than who, who's suffering more than who. Don't compare her 'scratched' wrist with those with scarred wrist.
I do not understand how on earth does it even anger some people enough to tweet about it? Shouldn't some people be glad that the young girl is only harming herself a little instead of looking at an arm that's profusely bleeding?
Maybe some people haven't slit themselves before and if you did, you'd probably would know how fucking miserable you must have felt to make you cut. Or maybe they did but managed to get out of it before they start to rely on it and it becomes their own coping mechanism.
And slitting falls under:
- Self-Harming: physically damaging the body
THEN YOU KNOW WHAT. If it continues, some people not even SLIT.
"The most common form of self-harm is skin-cutting but self-harm also covers a wide range of behaviors including, but not limited to, burning, scratching, banging or hitting body parts, interfering with wound healing, hair-pulling (trichotillomania) and the ingestion of toxic substances or objects." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-harm
You people only know HOW TO FUCKING START TO CARE when a person's life is lost. I don't even know if it's 'care' or it's just a feeling we were brought up to have when someone dies since we were young.
If you still think that a small cut is funny then just keep it to yourself? Why must you tell the world? What are you trying to accomplish by doing that?
There are thousands of people in the world who self harms and most of them probably start with just a small cut. Then, they ended up getting teased, their friends leave them -- and they got the perfect scenario to start cutting. Of course, there are many reasons why people cut.

SO IS YOUR JOKE FUNNY NOW?
See the seriousness of cutting.
For those who have never cut or is recovering, please do not ever try or hurt yourself again. Although I think using self-harming as a coping mechanism in life is fine I still do not encourage it as it might lead to an addiction. For those who are addicted in cutting, please remember someone out there loves you. Learn to forgive yourself and I promise you will be happy one day.
Don't be ashamed of your scars. They represent the battles you've fought with yourself. They are your scars, no one has the rights to make fun.
1# Don't ever say cutters cut themselves to seek for mother fucking attention.
- Cutters ALSO HAVE A FUCKING WORKING BRAIN. HELLO. We know how fucking well that this world judges. We know there are bound to be some fucktards around us who would make fun of us. WE FUCKING KNOW. We know it yet we still do it. WHY? Obviously we have our own problems that's why we cut.
2# Don't call us emo/freaks/losers.
-What? So you want to take fucking responsibility for what you say? Since you dared to call me names, I dare you to fight for me in my place.WELL, if you don't plan to fight for me then jolly well GET THE FUCK OFF. We have a name and better yet, we even share the same fucking liquid inside. So are you a freak too?

WHY CUTTERS CUT
(Based on my experience or whatever urgh.)
We feel alone. We let the negative thoughts eat us up alive especially during the night. We over-think a lot. We feel that we are underserving and trust me, we are not seeking attention at all. We feel that we don't deserve to be loved and cared. We feel very lonely. We hate ourselves that we are not perfect and disappoint others(even the slightest thing). The bad thoughts slowly piles up and we're pretty much convinced we are underserving.
TRUTH
(Also based on my experience or whatever..)
We don't need much. We just want to be loved ... But it's not easy. We are afraid to open up, we are terrified to bits that people wouldn't see us the way they did before. We want people to embrace the ugliness that we gave into and tell us that actually we are not underserving at all.
Semi Colon Project 416
The Semi Colon Project 416 occurs on the 16th of April every year.
*During this day, people draw a semi-colon on their wrist to show that, "If you are sad, depresssed, going through a broken heart, suffering with self harm, has anxiety, etc. Draw a semicolon on your wrist or arm. A semicolon is used when the author could have ended the story, but didn't. You are the author, don't end your story"
Self-injury Awareness Day
Also known as SIAD. SIAD happens on the 1st of March ever year.
*It is to raise awareness about self-harm and self-injury. During that day, people would wear orange ribbon, draw butterfly/butterflies 'LOVE' on their wrist.
0701 Project
The 0701 Project is a day where on the 1st of July of every year.
*People draw an arrow pointing up on their wrist to show support to people who self-harms, is suicidal or has committed suicide. Add an 'x' below the arrow to show that you've self-harmed/committed suicide before. It is to show that they are not alone.
---
I'm saying this all because if you've someone you truly care about who is suffering from self-harming, please spend time to hear them out. Talk to them. Be patient! They'll open up when they are comfortable. They'll be touched by your sincerity :) you might not know it but yep you've just saved somebody's life.
I'm not asking everyone of you who've read this to changed 360 degree immediately.. maybe if one day you chance upon a precious person who is suffering, you'd understand better.
