Self Harm Assembly

[Project Delta]

Well guys i'm doing a self harm assembly, any ideas? i wanna do my story if i am allowed to, and then my success on beating it. Maybe add the song "Hero" by Superchick

[Triceratops]

Wow, that's one hell of a brave thing to do!

I recommend My Skin by Natalie Merchant. I think the whole mood of the song fits perfectly with anyones battle with self harm. It's one of my all time favourite songs ever.

Thanks marci, i will look at it and check it out. Since i have been battling (And now hopefully defeated) i have been raising awareness at every possible way! :)

[Project Delta]

Anyone else? i needs ideas!!!

Try how it feels from your point of view, like not the facts, but the emotions behind it. Pure honesty is key.

[Project Delta]

Thanks i'll take that into account! :)

totally agree. too many people blow self-harming off because they only see the numbers, and the statistics, and they know nothings of the emoions behind it...

but, this being said, you cant really expect to hold the assembly, and then expect the people to have a massive change of heart, some people have very very little empathy, it's sad, but it's fact...

I know but these children are young so, but i dont care if they hate me afterwards. really i dont coz i'll be in sixth form, and i'll be spreading awareness. Thats all the matters to me Declan! And its a confidence booster for me, to be able to talk infront of 500 people is what i've dreamed of doing for years. And i've never been able to do it.

[BuryYourFlame]

yep, it's great you are doing this mate, just a warning ;) im for it :D

[Project Delta]

Great :)

[chelsay13]

sweet :)
I did a persuasive speech on it, it was HARD.
If you want, I can send you my outline. You might be able to use something in it.
Good luck, and remember, you might think your classmates are gonna tease you, but mine shocked me and hugged me and didn't repeat it outside our classroom. So, have faith. and good luck :)

[Project Delta]

Thanks, sure send me the plan ^^ and mine aren't my class mates, at my school i'll be in year 12, and they are years 7,8,9, i think

[dizzydinosaur]

Superchick are a very good band for songs about self harm
Like Beauty From Pain, Stand In The Rain, or like you said Hero
Also Breathe Me by Sia is a really good song
Hope I helped x

[Project Delta]

I've got Breathe Me by Sia, i love it! :) Ty for the others i will look at them ^^

[Beautiful Obsession]

ii Think you should tell everyone how it feels and why people do it. Because alot of people think it's only Emo's that cut.

[Project Delta]

Cool, i'll also add in that it can effect anyone, even rich people.

[MadManWithaBox]

yeah, alot of kids think it is only kids that sot in their rooms alone, wearing black, listening to heavy music thatcut(in short, a stereotypical emo that most kids think of when they think of self harming) explain to them it can anybody who self harms, and its not for attenion, its help with the emotional pain inside, by causing physical pain on the outside.

[Project Delta]

Yeah cheers everyone, i'm getting all these down. so that i can make my speech and presentation as good as possible

If there is 500 people there it is very likely that some people there will do it and they will respect you for doing what your doing so even if they all say stupid thing I bet you atleast 3 of them will be so happy that someone is sticking up for them :D
When is it Post how it goes.
Don't just focus on cutting talk about the other types
It might be good to talk about how it can start of with just scratches and as something you do but how it gets addictive and gets wrose and worse
Let us Know how it goes! :D

[The Joker]

How did it go?

[Project Delta]

Havent done it yet >.<
