So this is for people who cut their wrists & self-harm.
basically, the rules are,
-when you feel like you want to cut, take a pen and draw a butterfly on your arm. name the butterfly after a loved one. you must let the butterfly fade naturally. if you scrub it off it wont work. If you cut before the butterfly is gone, then the butterfly is dead. if you dont cut, it lives :). if you have more than one butterfly, cutting will kill ALL of them. If somebody else draws a butterfly on you, then the butterfly is extra special. take care of it:). even if you dont cut, you can still draw a butterfly and name it after someone you know who cuts or is suffering. it might help, you never know.
sounds similar to TWLOHA ;D
but the idea is really good :)
ah.. what a pleasure, to see your own blood flowing from your hand.... it's really soothing. This thing doesn't work, really...
In theory this idea is good. I drew a butterfly on my wrist and people asked what it was for, then i told them about how people cut themselves and try this and stuff. By the end of the day alot of people had butterflies on their wrists, not because they cut but to raise awarness which is what i think this thing does best. Its unlikely people will stop cutting them selves because of a little butterfly but it will make all sorts of people realise that self harm is a big thing and is constantly happening and it might just make them stop and look at people and maybe realise "hey, you don't need to cut yourself, im here" or whatever. I dont even know if that makes any sense but i think you get the jist of it.
Dear people who cut,
I honestly think cutting is a bad idea. I mean making yourself bleed.. Do you really wanna grow up with scars and have go tell people why you have them? What if you wake up one day and relize that cutting is just bad? You wouldnt be able forget about it cause you'll have evidence all over your arms. It's silly. One day, if you grow out of that phase, your gonna have to be remembered for a while . I'm not trying to offend anyone AT ALL. I'm just saying it's unhealthy.
And also to the people who are being rude. Stop it. Put your self in their shoes. And think before you post.
Stop.the.talk.
@matthew
you mean go to a psychiatry or something ?
@Carolina
Get help.
Ignore this butterfly shit and get help.
well, i said i never cut mself, but, things change, now i really need to start doing this, its getting hard to hide wrists.. i really hope this works.
What happens to the butterflies if they come off naturally and you cut yourself before you draw a new one?
I hope this helps. I don't usually hold out much hope for these things. :p
Wow. :')
I do this, mine just washed off in the shower. I'm wondering, what happens if you cut yourself withotu any butterflies on?
this is such a good idea, you know...
i love it...
i used to do it sometimes
i used to cut, this helps, it really does.
i never cut myself, like, im always depressed, but i dont get to this level, anyways, i loved this idea, it can help many ppl to stop cutting,
This project helped me loads, I just turned 13 yesterday and was addicted to cutting for about a year, the butterfly project only started working when one day in school my best friend came up to me, crying, and drew a butterfly on me and said that she hopes i stop cutting, that is honestly the first moment it started working even though i was doing it for a month...now the butterflies on my wrist are dedicated to my cousin, and my new good friend
Sounds like a good idea, but it probably wouldn't help most people who actually cut because they're depressed. I used to cut and it was extremely difficult to stop.
awwh. thanks. i cut last night... and this morning i realized that i have to stop. im 12 and m addicted to cutting:(
but the butterfly project sounds amazing. i'll do it.
thank you
I love this idea. I personally don't cut, but this idea is beautiful.
I hope this helps me

WOOW PARAMORE !
I think this project is amazing - thankyou for coming up with this and posting it. This will help so many of my friends! x
@matt yeah thats fair enough mate, i dont really have much else to say, guess we covered it all
@Luke
If they were actually saying I was ignorant to it and are actually acting like I don't know what I'm talking about then yeah, they should fuck off. If not then I take it back.
I know we're agreeing, I'm not disagreeing.
The only person that can help that person is themselves. Until they're able to get a handle on their emotions and themselves no one will help, they can be stopped, but not helped.
@ matt, mind your language!!
i'm only joking, we're actually agreeing on most things, and to anyone that does self harm i agree that they SHOULD stop. only in hindsight do you realise its a waste of time though. *sigh* i dunno. just wish there was an easy way to help
@Jodders
if that was in any way referring to me then I'm going to tell you now to fuck off.
@ParamoreeFan4evaaa
If it worked then fine, but answer yourself this.
If you're able to be stopped by that, then are you really doing it for the right reason?
@Luke C
They can focus on it, but it's not doing anything they can't do themselves.
At one point I carved my girlfriends name into my arm in hopes it would remind me what I have, it didn't work.
Then I nearly killed myself and hoped I would stop.
That didn't work either.
Thing is though that I wasn't doing it for a reason, I was doing it because I somehow got it into my head that it would help.
IT DOES NOT.
They're going to regret it later in life, especially if they get scars. Especially if they get scars that are obvious.
It is NOT worth it. They need to get a grip. That is all.
@Lily
It does work. trust me, it does ive had reason enough to cut over the past 2 days and i named my butterfly after one of my bessies and it worked!!! thx @Paramore01234
This thing doesnt work....When you want to cut yourself you do it...you dont think about anything else...
@matt
yeah that does make sense you bad phraser haha, and basically thats what it does. but i thought maybe the butterfly could give people something else to focus on
in hindsight cutting is silly, but you have to actually make yourself stop, physically. its not something you can just get out of, you actively have to say "i'm not going to so this anymore" and then not do it.
thats the best advice i can give anyone really
i have a friend who ive know all my life, who cuts, and to all you who are being very ignorant and are wasting stupid time arguing and being extreemely childish and it makes me upset/angry how people are people are behaaving and being rude and ignorant towards something very serious.
I think this is actually a really good idea :)
and might i say alot of you are being really ignorant towards the fact that some people cut themselves for an actual reason they may be in some serious trouble or pain and all some of you can think about is "Oh emoooooooooooooos !!"
I don't cut myself and I hope I never will but yeah some people are indangering themselves just so they can get noticed or be a wemo (wannabe emo ) but some people do have actual problems that are too hard or painful for them .
remind yourself of that .
