I'm wanting to do something for self-injury awareness. Recently it's like nobodies taking it seriously. For example, one of my friends names on myspace is "I wish my garden was emo so that it would cut itself" & "Self-mutiliation is only for kool kids" and I've known parents to chuck their kids out rather then deal with it, I mean wtf, they wouldn't say stuff like that about anorexia. People haven't got enough know-how * knowledge about it, Sooo I'm just wondering what I could do.
Like why can't they talk about it in magazines the way they do eating disorders? What because anorexia makes you skiiny and eveeerybody wants to be skinny right, so it appeals to all women.
Or instead of having those stupid pages telling teenagers to lose 10pounds in just one day, to write something useful on for a change.
It just peeees me off the close mindedness of it all, and the lack of understanding people have about it.
