Another non-profit that works not only with cutters but peripheral problems related like addiction, depression is “To Write Love on her arms”... I know they sometimes send out Christian bands and talk to young folks especially the women I met a marvelous woman who gave her testimony at a concert for TWLOHO.
Those of us who are way past that age probably are either in denial that this is a huge problem or wonder if its just some sort of way to get attention. But it is serious and effects huge numbers of young folks.
The best way to describe simplistically what I think is happening is that these persons hurt so much on the inside the act of cutting is a way to release the pain so it will come out when they bleed It is really a commentary on our society and the value we place on people.
It is TWLOHA...not TWLOHO...its early and I have not had enough coffee.
Ping for kiddo to read later. He’s a big fan of TWLOHA.
