Razors.

Self-Harm is no joke. Self-harm is purposely inflicting pain to oneself, commonly using razors or knifes to cut one's body.

Many people who don't self-harm might find this completely stupid. Why would someone want to do that? So naturally, many people would call these people 'emo', or 'attention seekers'. What these people do not understand is what self-harmers go through in their life.

Firstly, these self-harmers must be mentally hurt really bad to be able to slit themselves like that. They don't just do it for no reason at all. So calling them names and making fun of them isn't helping them at all.

Secondly, what non self-harmers do not know is how difficult it is to stop self-harming. Many self-harmers cut themselves as when they see blood, it reminds them that they are still alive. Also, cutting is an addiction, an addiction which would become an obsession, which would turn into something they cannot live without.

Thirdly, when many people spot cuts on somebody's wrists, they know that he/she is a self-harmer, and that they are just seeking attention by openly showing it. However, the thing is self-harm is a medical condition. There should not be a need to hide it, especially since many are trying to recover. So showing their scars, they are just learning to accept that they have been hurt, and are trying to recover, NOT to show off.

For a self-harmer, everyday they go through the temptation of cutting. When something massive gets thrown to them, their mind loses itself and their bodies just act accordingly. They go through life hurt and broken. Every scar reminding them of what had happened.

Every scar tells a story. And self-harm would never be understood unless you've been through it before. Many self-harmers are trying to recover, and making fun of them is just making them hide themselves and take out their razors. So think before you speak, they are just trying to live and be happy.
