Be The Change

Today is March 1st, 2012. Every year on this day, the world begins to become aware of the horrors of Self Harm and Suicide. These topics are very risky to talk about, because no one really knows how to react to it.   An estimated 2 to 3 million teens, adolescents and adults behave in self harming. And within those millions of people, many result in suicide. People usually result in self harm because they figure there is no other way to get through it. A Deliberate Self Harmer is usually someone who is already attempting suicide, who are uncertain whether they want to die, and those who do not really want to die. The main means of self harm is the act of cutting. Which can take three forms. Deep wounds that were made with the intent of suicide.Self mutilation, and superficial wounds that show a sign of someone who is cutting.http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/diseases/depression/suicideanddeliberateselfharm_000600.htm
Anyone can suffer from Self Harm, whether you are young and old, men or woman, and those who are unemployed.Woman often suffer from self harm more because it is a self esteem issue. Woman who suffer in relationships have a tendency to self harm. Suicide is 100% preventable. You should never be afraid to speak up. Whether it's yourself or someone you know, or someone you just met on the street.

Self Harm has become a top issue in the world. There is now a way that people who think they are ready to end it all, can take a step back and think. It is called the "Butterfly Project." The is simple. The person who is self harming draws a picture of a butterfly on the place they usually harm. As the butterfly fades from your body, and eventually disappears, it means the butterfly has lived, and thus so have you. If you cut, you killed the butterfly and unfortunately in some cases have killed yourself. With this simply drawn butterfly on your body, you could just about save your life. And continue to fly just like that butterfly.  http://www.recoveryourlife.com/index.php?categoryid=148
